I went in to inquire about catering and the young man in there was so helpful and kind that I am having some friends stop by during the week for some food
Beautiful course but marshals on duty must go out onto the course to maintain the normal pace of play of golfers!
The course has a bit of a strange layout, which being in NYC I get, but due to the long distances from green to tee boxes, the guy in the club house should have at least suggested renting a cart. The greens were in good shape. Small, but enough undulations to still be a challenge. The course as a whole looks beautiful with a lot of trees lining each hole. The fairways and rough did not have enough grass which resulted in too many balls coming to rest on dirt. The sand traps were in good condition with plenty of sand in them. Id like to give 3.5 stars but since thats not an option I gave them 4. I also find that the green fees are a bit steep for a public city course. I paid $40 to walk. Ill play here again because its the closest course to my home in the Bronx, however there is plenty of room for improvement.
It was a wedding ceremony. Beautiful place with lot of natural beauty. Park, greenery and water side.
Course in good shape. Played my best round the other day there. Fun course!
It is a beautiful place to enjoy some quiet time.
Is the course amazing? No it isn’t... but is the history behind the course outstanding... YES!! Oldest public course in the country and in NYC! This is a must! What a gem!
Beautiful golf course, quiet and enjoyable. Feels like another world.
Its a love-hate thing with this course. Its close to Manhattan, I know every nook and cranny of this place, on a weekday it moves, given how many rounds are played here... those are all positives. When its backed up, its slow going; when the grass refuses to grow in certain spaces, have fun hitting off hard packed bronx dirt; when the wasps and hornets are buzzing around the 4th and 5th holes... run for cover. And the hamburger at the halfway house... avoid ...at all costs and opt for a dog instead. But its home. And not savagely expensive. And a decent on course beer selection. And it was Babe Ruths home course too.
Great park space in the Bronx, the more commonly used areas are kept in great shape however the trails are seriously in need of some upkeep. There’s so much history in the park that is just neglected. The geese and swans are also not afraid of people and certainly expect you to feed them, kinda like this guy lol
We like going to the pond and watching the swans, ducks and geese. Its nice to walk the path, but I wish they did a better job on maintaining it.
Beautiful grounds. However should be integrated into the rest of the park a bit more seamlessly.
Great public course in nyc. Played a 4 hour round on a Monday w my son. Amir in pro shop was helpful and pleasant. A challenging but fun course.
Well kept for a historic landmark (1st municipal in USA). I think it had good mix of some wide open holes and challenging slopes, tighter fairways small tough greens. I was not happy with the tee cashier that day as he strongly requested a single payment rather than each. No long wait line and we wanted to pay separately. I say course is a 5 star due to my 1st points but had to knock 1 star because of poor customer service.
Good course, great last 4 holes. Good bar
Best of the NYC courses. Can get backed up on weekends. Course conditions can vary, as its heavily used, and there may be a bare spot here and there. Tricky little track as course management definitely comes into play here. Put away your driver and opt for a long iron on some of the shorter par 4s. Avoid the hamburger like the plague at the halfway house and go for a hot dog instead.
Birthplace of American public golf but it’s hit or miss as a well trafficked public course in the worlds best city. I’ve played it in great shape and marveled. More recently I’ve played it and left completely disappointed. Easy to get to via 1 train if you don’t have a car but if you have a car, you probably should play a different track with better greens.
A spot for everything!!! Barbecue,pool,tanning,fishing,all sports easy access by bus and train
The staff here is great regarding hospitality and friendliness.The course itself is not very long but the way its set up, it can still be a bit of a challenge to the bogey golfer. Longer, straighter hitters may find this course super easy because most approach shots will require a wedge or short iron in.The course conditions are sub par but considering accessibility, its an ok track to get some reps in.The greens may be slower than most public courses in this area but there are a few with some really drastic slopes that can still be a bit of a challenge.
Always therapeutic to walk the trails...Sit on a bench and breathe...Workout every way possible...Enjoy time with family...Date night... or day...
Its a big course with challenges for every level. Hard to play without a cart.
Great family day fun. Golfing, trails, picnicking and tennis. Catch cricket, softball, and soccer games during spring and summer.
Just a relaxing place to come and sit on a beautiful day and watch the swans and enjoy the breeze.
Its still early in the season and I know its a public course, but the tee boxes had no markers, aside from some twigs. The greens were either really hard and fast or soft and slow, making putting a frustrating experience. That said, we had a great time out on a beautiful spring day. And I love those crazy last three holes!!
Great public course thats close to the city. You would expect a small golf course in New York City but Van Cortlandt is long and wide open. If you want a nice 18-hole course that isnt expensive within reach from New York Citys midtown, then this is the course for you.
Pretty decent course very close from NYC. It was little too crowded, lack of staff members to ask questions or buy drinks.Better off bringing your own drinks.
I love this courseI love everything from this course (interesting layout, fairway, green, nature and price) but the first tee-box. It seems that they never want to fix or change the plastic one. I have seen it there in at least two years already. Just dont know why.
You can walk, used bike, see duck, play golf, running, cross country race, adventure
Best public golf course close to the city. It’s a long course, a lot of fun and beautiful. The back holes are really something.
I had my baby shower here on 11/3/18 and it was truly a wonderful experience. The owner was extremely helpful in guiding us toward the right Set up. He knew I wanted my event on the deck and though it was very windy, he made a few suggestions and made it happen. The staff was very helpful and did their best to make the day go as smooth as possible. They allowed me to set up early and provided me with the chairs, tables, and linens. I was given freedom to decorate however I wanted!! However the deck doesn’t need much decoration, it’s beautiful on its own. It went well with my fall themed shower. I was able to fit 14 round tables each one with 10 people and there was still enough space to dance and play games. I would definitely host another major event here. I loved it!!!
Used to play this course weekly 30 years. Went there yesterday and fairways and greens in great shape! BUT zero maintenance of tee boxes, no grass , no tee markers and some cases have to guess where to tee off. Come on guys get a clue! These are the basics!
Stay far away. I play here once a week and it’s gone down so much. No rangers on course ... a twosome just snuck on course, sitting on 10th hole w 3 foursomes here. Called the front office Chris the manager not in. No one to send out to take care of it. Grass growing in sand traps. $ 70 to play no ranger on managers. If you have 6 hrs in your day to waste this is your course
I really love this place. Since the quarantine Ive been going through the trails on a regular basis and STILL I keep finding new trails. Van Courtlandt may not be Beacon or Storm King but this works well for being a local spot. The trails are isolated enough where you really dont hear traffic or other people just nature.
Nice course but the referee bothered my party of four. They over booked rushed us. There supposed to be a least a 15 minutes lack time it was 5 minutes. Nerve play there again. Oh I forgot am African American With two Cacuans.
Great Place to learn,The condition of the course has improved slowly over the last 5 years. The greens have been more consistent. The layout is a bit forced in certain stretches of holes and the crowds can be annoying if you tee off to late on a nice day. Love to take my oldest son there late in the day as the crowds have dissipated by then. Great experience overall
Course in good shape , bunkers need some attention ( if you land them lol ) staff are friendly and helpful , you pass the drinks stand three times !!!!Food really good too !!!
One of the oldest public courses in the country. Could use some TLC, Tee boxes leave more to be desired (especially on 1), green speed can be inconsistent.History alone makes a round here worth it though. The finishing stretch of 15-18 is sweet to play in the late afternoons.
Great, laid back atmosphere. They are accommodating and everyone there is very friendly. I shopped around for a regular course and this one stood out far above the rest.The course is laid out very well. There is a place to grab burgers and hot dogs on the 12th hole. The food is excellent there actually.The course has a good mix of challenging and easy holes. Certainly not the hardest course Ive been to, but definitely the most diverse I have found in the city.This has become my regular place to play.
Excellent and friendly starterForgot name but stater for over 30 years. Nice guy always smiling pleasure to talk withFrom Max madridejos /Philippine gold association
I really enjoy this course and think its great value for money. The staff is very friendly and easy going, the facilities are pretty good with a pro shop, restaurant, bar, and clean bathrooms. The course itself is not ridiculously over challenging like Ferry Point but its well kept, nice greens, and there are some difficult holes. I live in the Manhattan so this is a great place because its easy to reach, you can usually get a full round in within decent time, and its generally pretty chilled out and quiet.
We took our Grandsons oit Fishing there
I love this park! Nice trails and amazing nature around you. Great place for picnic too.
There are many trails. Some for running others for cross country but I like the hiking trails. There is a large field that many use for different activities and soccer and baseball fields as well. There is a horse stable on the north end and a pool on the south end. If you like to play golf there is a course in the park as well.
Great to visit and play at the oldest public golf course in America. Fair, straight, and gives a decent challenge. Enjoyed several holes with great elevation. Fun!
Course is in good shape except for a couple of the tee boxes the first especially. The thing its missing the most is a warm up area. And if youre looking for a 4 hour round you better come early. Its public golf and theres lots of duffers who have no concept of pace of play.
Ive spent many a romantic days in this beautiful park. Many things to do and plenty of places to get lost in the woods. Picnic area , public pool , handball , basketball , baseball, golf ect everywhere around this park a tranquil river when one can fish.
Golf was enjoyable, weather was great, but my wife left a utility wood on our last hole. We cannot believe nobody turned it in! Doesn’t speak well of the Van Cortlandt Golf Course player!
Best option for Manahattan golfers: Can walk from the 1 train, the course provides opportunity to hit all of your clubs, it might seem short if youre hitting your driver well, but several par fours make more sense to hit a shorter club off the tee.Kept in reasonable condition, it receives a ton of play so the greens cant be cut too low.Recommend for any City Golfer.
Oldest public golf course in the US.A Bronx hidden golf gem with a ridiculous history stemming with all sorts of visitors.Course is kept in the best condition as possible, however divots are all over the place that other golfers do not take care as noted in the etiquette signs and score cards.The staff works their best given the budget and equipment. The course design has it good variety, there are some pesty insects especially on holes 8 thru 11. Sand bunkers need some work. Surrounded by 3 highways, and sectioned off to 4 areas thanks to Robert Moses. Overall a good experience, more of a city golf experience.
Drive it past the creek to enter the VCGC Ed Hall of Fame
This park has been a great place my hole life. I have cats that passed away buried there. It was a great place to go with family and friends. Had great BBQs there. My dad played paddle there for 30+ years. My children were raised there... Well like I was, we frequently went there to play paddle or handball.We also went to the pool
Great place to visit it has a little of everything. Golf course, track, handle ball and tennis courts swimming pool, baseball fields, open fields. Transportation, the number one train, buses, vendors, playgrounds. The Van Cortlandt Museum, Van Cortlandt Cemetery. Trails. Bird watching. Its a great park for its size. Come check it out make yourself a great day.
Oldest muni course in USA. 2 600 YDS PAR 5s..iconic lockerroom with moe, Larry, and curley, sugar ray Robinson, lockers..interesting course all around.
The best course in NYC. May not be saying much but its definitely a good escape from the city while still being accessible by the 1 train.
What a surprisingly nice course! Really really cheap to play during the week. $27 during the week after 3pm with a cart, thats about as good as it gets.Me and my girl went and the staff was amazingly friendly which can sometimes lack in NYC. While golfing, I looked over and asked my girl, did you almost forget you in NYC? Thats what its like. Its an easy course, not to challenging, and the fairways and roughs seemed to be well groomed.The tee areas were a bit dingy, and it can be a hassle when you dont use a tee on pars 3s like me. Food prices are standard, and drinks are a bit on the expensive side, not much selection in terms of craft beers, but thats not that big of a deal :)Overall, it seemed very family friendly, pretty fast play so there was not much waiting. Definitely will golf there as many times as I can. Hope this review helps.
There along the pedestrian walkway, you will find the test stine columns used to build Grand Central station. Pretty amazing. The Bronx, a happening hub back in the day.
Love it lots of space for golfing historic site been here for decades hidden gem of the Bronx
Honestly I was just passing by and I guess the red light was to long so the guy and the women who runs the cart on a forklift came late to work so she didnt had to advise for the rest of the people how joe biden keeps rambling non sense and gets away with it, but when I do I dont.Because if you did understand my review, you need to go get your self checked out.
We enjoyed a good round there. Very friendly and good condition golf course.
Decent upkeep for a city course. But its worth playing here just for the history of the course. Nice layout too.
Nice cross country trail to run on
Greens were pristine... Course was well maintained especially for this late in the season
Love the guys who work here. Place is overcrowded and tee times are scheduled too close together. Just played 14 holes couldnt finish Yahoos jumping from hole to hole, guys hitting 3-4balls per hole no supervision. Gotta be watched better Rangers could do a much better job where this is concerned.
Great shape in November. Love the fall view too.
Huuuge and great level walking. Tons of forest paths
Well maintained golf course around the park. Fun holes and friendly staffs.
One of the oldest golf courses in the country. A bit drier, with Fairways and greens showing their age. No driving or chipping range. Anyone living in NYC, a concrete jungle, will appreciate having access to this course. Play here quite often.
The 4.2 rating which is higher than Forest Park is a little misleading. The fairway and greens are definitely 2 tiers below Bethpage. While we were playing, the course had lawn mowers starting from hole 3 all the way until hole 17. I mean, 1-2 holes I can understand, but having that sound on while you golf is extremely annoying, BUT the MOST important is how am I suppose to alert you that Im about to hit my ball? The biggest concern is the ball hitting one of those guys. It is beyond me why they would choose to do this in the morning. Also, the mowers seemed to be always ahead of us.
I always come here to enjoy nature!
Great bike trail from Bronx to Westchester. No traffic to navigate just bikes and people walking.
My go to spot for nature in the city. Waaay better than Central park. not crowded. lots of back woods
Lovely course with lots of trees. The final three holes are a ton of fun to play. Winds its way throughout the Bronx, never losing an urban feel in a secluded environment. Affordable too.
Beautiful Place to Walk and get fresh air or do some Fishing in the lake with your kids and Family or go Golfing
Vanny is a public 18-hole course with a nice mix of hilly and flat holes. According to NYC data, it is the oldest public course in the US with 6,096 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 70. The course rating is 68.6 and it has a slope rating of 110.Its located right at the end of the 1 line 242st Street.For avid golfers: the course isnt well maintained, so be prepared to be on the course for a little longer since it is a slow course. For beginners and for fun: there is no practice range.Overall, though, for a public course in a public park, its nice and has some challenging holes.
Its a fun course for any golfer--Im an average golfer who loves the sport and the course offers great challenges for me. Never a dull moment. No driving range, of course. Mosholu Golf Course, which is right across, has a driving range and a compact 9-hole course which everyone plays the whole 18 and the traffic jams there are horrific--almost like the I-95 in rush hour.Many good players do play at Vanny, as it is aptly known among locals and they find the course fun as well. The traffic within the course can be tough, but early bird and twilight hours are best (one can finish a round in 3-hrs or less). If you decide to tee off anytime after 10am or noon, expect to play for a good 4-5-hrs. Yes, bring aspirin and your unlimited data plan to fiddle around while waiting to hit between some of these holes.Decent and (somewhat) helpful staff... Food is ok, but I wouldnt pay for it since the quality is so-so. Go for the brew, as that is still expensive but at least you cant go wrong with it.
Nice park, theres a pool, running track, nature center, tennis courts. A pond to fish and on Fridays during the summer there are rowboats for the public on a first come fist served basis.
Was there van Cortlandt Park Alliance clean up.
The golf course could be maintained better, especially for the steep price of play. No same in the cart to repair fairway divots, the tee boxes need seeding and more frequent location rotation.
My go-to place to decompress and relax. I routinely walk along trails, the track and hang out with friends @ the dog run called Canine Court. Frankly, I love this place.
Easy to get to from Manhattan, fair price for the round. Don’t expect to race around in 4 hours. Staff needs to work on hospitality...
Teeing ground bad no grass.... cart fee too expensive. course conditions not bad
Lovely and peaceful place ☺
Love walking the trails
Today was the first day and as you can imagine there were plenty of folks outside enjoying the opportunity to play. Was disappointed at the lack of communication today at the course. Holes 15-18 were closed and a few temporary greens. That wasnt the issue, the fact that there were no signs indicating that specific hole had a temporary green was disappointing.
A taste of the good ol days! Check out the locker rooms from the movie Wallstreet upstairs! Its a public club house dripping with history, and because its public, you can just drift into the clubhouse and walk around.
Vanny is Great!..its an old course...not the most picturesque but it certainly deserves respect. Much like Rock Creek in DC, must be accurate or youll loose many balls. A real players course!
The positives: it is definitely a golf course in that it has grass, trees and holes. And Its historic Im told. Thats it. The negatives: Where do I begin? If its your first time here, forget about being treated respectfully. Everyone was cranky and unhelpful, from the pro shop, to the cart man, to the starter, right on through to the club professional, who I refer to as Professor Ponytail because hes rocking a pony tail like a washed up wrestler/hair metal guitarist, even though hes pushing 50. Guess he stopped maturing senior year of high school back in 1971. This never-quite-good-enough-to-make-The-Tour Katelyn Jenner look-a-like had the audacity to, in the middle of our tee shots on a par 3 ask how many balls we were planning to play off the tee, telling us this is not a driving range. Mind you my friend and I hit a total of 4 balls, the first two of which ended up in the water hazard. As far as I know the rules of golf allow you to play another ball with a penalty if you lose yours; perhaps someone should explain the rules of golf to him, he seems a bit rusty. Too busy thinking about Wrestle Mania I suppose. Mind you, he was in a twosome on the adjacent green behind us that somehow had 5 balls on it. Talk about playing multiple balls. What a hypocrite. He also admonished us for not replacing divots, even tho I did in fact fixed my divots, but the Ric Flair wannabe would hear none of it. This incident had us fuming for a good 3 holes before we calmed down, so he essentially ruined part of our round. Thats not to mention this course layout seems like it was designed by a 6 year old with a learning disability. You end up criss-crossing the course numerous times because one hole rarely leads to the next, and there are virtually no signs. The 9th hole doesnt even take you to the clubhouse, because that would make too much sense. And theres no beverage cart service, so forget about having a cold one in the middle of the round. Also the mysterious twilight rate thats posted online apparently doesnt apply if you take a cart since theres an almost $20 cart fee per person added to the $23 twilight fee. So you end up paying $40 no matter what time of day you come if youre taking a cart, which is a virtual necessity, because, again the course was designed by Zach Nicklaus, Jack Nicklauss failure of a half-brother. So if you enjoy ponytails on club pros, geriatric curmudgeons, and a general dont give a damn attitude, this is the course for you. If not, then dont bother.
Interesting layout.... there are little groups of holes spread out. Fairways are tore up as expected but there is enough grass you could play it so if in the fairway you could move it.
Very nice experience. Also, saw a Hawk scoop up a squirrel. Squirrel broke free but what a show it was.
Great spot for walking, jogging, soccer, baseball, football, picnicking - outdoor activities. Right by the last stop of the 1 Train, going North from Manhattan.
Tee house was well equipped. Lots of members bounces on the course
Love it ,play here anytime, nice staff and good golf course
I always enjoy Van Cortlandt. The course is long, has nice variety and is affordable. But its a NYC course so you have to know what to expect, like some beat up greens and some slow play.
Love the pool great place to take kids when on budget 😜 (free)
We lave this park is big and it has a lot of activities!
Very nice public golf course. Challenging but not overly difficult. Good length. Behave off the tee or pay the price.
Privatized space in a public park.
Biggest park in nyc , tracks trails, baseball field nd soccer . There is also horse stables ,swimming pool nd picnic areas
Great bike path through Van cortlandt Park
Great course. Highly recommend it!
Don’t go. There are a bunch of ignorant people telling you what to do and what not to do. Even if you get there at your time you still have to wait for other people to go in front of you. People keep giving you lessons in a rude way.
They have great spaces for BBQ and theres a pool as well. A good place to bring the family
A very peaceful and enjoyable afternoon with my partner and puppy. Nice park with nice people. No rowdies 😊.
Its open, green & having all required facilities of a good park .I really appreciate its up keeping by its management/staff.
The scourge of everyone trying to enjoy the nearby park - it’s absolutely unclear when you are in this golf park vs walking in the park until someone comes rolling in a golf cart yelling at you. I wish this place did not exist
Its a nice quiet environment, great for families. It has several cricket fields and areas for children to play
Very nice 👍
This historic range is Americas first public municipal golf course located in New York Citys third largest park.
Beautiful sprawling parkland course, a few tricky holes but not overly difficult, friendly staff and good food and drink. Would definitely go back!
Good for exercise, walk,play ,is really fun
Nice course for a change of pace. Get an early tee time if you dont want to have a 5 and a 1/2 hour round
Beautiful spot, to hang out. Also a trail on what was a historic RR line
Wasnt happy they charge $40 for one cart
Small but fun course especially for beginners.
Lovely... lots of distance between tees sometimes.
Beautiful and historic course. I would have added a star if the greens werent so slow...recently aerated.
I love this park!
Great experience, meadows, trees, trails for bikes and walking cookouts etc...
Didnt know we had such a beautiful lake, must go again, calm, relaxing just live it
Absolutely love this park.. Bathrooms always clean park is always clean great feeling of peace here..
Park beautiful. Restaurant now renovated, pretty, clean, but $7 for domestic beer -wow.
Great place to do any outdoor activity!!!!!
How we arent throwing concerts in this park is absurd its almost if not bigger than central park.
One if the best places to see water fowl, read, relax and enjoy time with friends.
Had a great bbq.. nice quiet area near the lake
This is a small but good course for beginners and Manhattanites who want to take the train to the game.
Nice place to walk and enjoy fresh air
Great views lots of exercise stations great bike and walking trails...
Excellent place, you can enjoy with all the family, restaurant, bar, picnic, etc...
I run along the cross country trail. Its a peaceful area.
Of all my years there, this is one of the best Golf courses in the NYC area.The East coast Golf club,
Poor service and The disorganized green, I regret coming here very much.
👍
Great course, been around forever, and will stick around. Very worth it if you can get there.
No crowds! Peaceful place to meditate now.
Great park for all out door sports, I love the walking trail n bike trail.
Excellent good place to see nature and trails with history.
One of the best course over the years, now management unprofessionally, bar and restaurant staff unfriendly. I rather to go elsewhere to spend my hard earn cash
Doesnt belong in the middle of an otherwise beautiful park. Rich people ruin everything in so many ways
This place is beautiful and excellent to relax and doing exercise. Great for everyone.!
Excelent place to hang out with my friends, while also golfing.
Great course when you have the time, also very busy. Expect 5 to 6 hours
Peaceful, veey green in May-June, easily accessible Metro. Comes 2nd to Central Park.
The swans are beautiful and its such a good place to hike.
If youre going to feed the ducks dont feed them bread, its not good for them lol
Nice place to have a picnic or celebrate
This is a fun place. I go fishing here all the time.
Huge park with many sights to see. Sit near the lake to relax and watch the swan family
Renovation is very nice and spacious, and it looks fairly clean
First time here, had a good time, went fishing, catch and release experience.
Great Course have yet to complete the entire course but great nonetheless
Great place to spend a few hours hiking.
Very slow pace of play. 5.5 hour round
Footlocker Northeastern X country race.
Great course. Just opened for the season
Great course
Nice place to have a BBQ & let the kids play
Nice, Quite and clean.
Amazing very old park for hiking❣️
Love fishing there with my lill family big park
Golf course is in good shape. Booked an early round
Cross country race. Great experience. Need to balance the racers in each race better.
Nice park different activities for family and friends
Always a pleasure
Icy, could only play 14 holes. They knew, wish they would have gave some sort of credit back, instead of paying for 18.
Nice and beautiful place to play golf.
Huge park. This park has everything. Pool, baseball field, basketball court, hand ball
Nice place to go workout have a barbecue or just taking a nice walk
Do not try walking the course just pay for the golf cart
An excellent place to play a round of golf at a public course.
I love this park. Its always clean.
Best park in the city, get away from the chaos.
This golf course has this super ugly gate surrounding the vandcortland trail...it takes away from its besuty
Nice urban green.
Beautiful park
Awesome place to do a barbeque and play sports with friends or teams
Didnt golf, sat by the lake with my family. Beautiful grounds.
If going to van cortland park this was the best parking I could find even though finding it wasnt easy.
Beautiful place to hike walk and relax
Its a great park to escape from stressful times
Saturday tee time at 1 = 5.5 hours. Better earlier.
Great place to stay , awesome breakfast spread.
From the track to the course, your choice. All I can say is You will feel good about your decision.
I did 7 miles yesterday. Im gonna tris wed. Yolo.
Great golf course, highly recommend for the price and location.
Good course. Greens need a little maintenance .
Amazing
My favorite park of all 💘
Beautiful area.

2022-05-17Great course to visit when youre planning a golf outing. We played 18 holes. Some were challenging but fun nonetheless. Add this course to your schedule and enjoy.

2022-05-06Its so beautiful here. You can go golfing, or you can just go for a walk aroud the lake and appreciate the beauty of the Nature.

2022-03-08Van Cortlandt Golf Course is located in the North Bronx close to the Yonkers border. It is the oldest public golf course in the USA. Known as Vanny by the locals, it is the most easily accessible NYC course to mass transportation. The # 1 train leaves you just a short walk to the course. Over the years many famous people have played at Van Cortlandt. They include Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Joe Lewis and the Three Stooges.Under new management, Van Cortlandt features seven new greens, new tee boxes, additional cart paths, improved bunkers, and dramatically improved drainage. The cost of these improvements approximates one and a half million dollars. The architect in charge of this renovation is Stephen Kay. This golf course, situated in a park-like setting, is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of NYC without ever having to leave the City.

2022-05-15Golfing was fine. Ranger was rude and left early. Golf cart stopped working at 6th hole and was unable to get any help from anybody, even after calling the number on their pamphlet 6 times. Their phone lines have been down for 6 months apparently. However, people at pro shop were willing to work with us.

2021-05-31Best shape Ive seen it, in 25 years. Tee boxes still a mess, but fairways were solid and greens were perfect. We also got done in 4hrs which is rare for Vanny.
Review №7
2022-06-28Antiquated electrical service at the location. Very friendly and professional. Food has literally been subpar and noticeable. I am too kind to give you the rest of my opinion.

2020-03-02Vany is the oldest public golf course in the USA (as per my knowledge). It has historical significance in the realm of manny courses. Sadly it hasn’t made its presence known as other courses like bethpage, winter park golf course in Orlando which is now a historical heritage park. Vany also has the original lockers and the aura inside the club house is vintage. The front 9 misses frequency to rattle up the feeling, but the back starts hitting the soul with fantastic 14 - 18 finishing holes. Even from NY, I was surprise to see Lack of friendliness hovers around the club, it is however boogie Bronx. But was surprise to see Little Attitude enter Vany soul. Times are changing as the young blood enters the game of frustration and missed opportunity. In the end, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and city makes its presence known on certain holes, highway running next to fairways. green fairways within concrete jungle. A historic course that needs to be in heritage books since yesterday.

2018-11-22This is the park that I grew up playing cricket. One of my favorite park in the city. I wish the park department never took away two of us pitches. It is unfortunate that they took it away from us. But thanks to the park department for giving us the space and giving us a place to enjoy our weekends. I wish there more bathrooms. Anyways I’m looking forward to next season. Enjoy all three sports in the park!
