Pelham Bay or Split Rock??

When I booked this reservation under golf now, it doesn't tell you which course your playing on.

Above average

Wide open layout, fairways and greens in excellent shape. Rough really difficult, challenging.

A little slow play off the first, 5 1/4 hours.

Still will go back.

Great value for solid public course

Did not have high expectations for Split Rock at all coming into my first round at this facility. Must say I was more than pleasantly surprised. Proshop attendant, starter, and ranger were not the most helpful, but didn't really cause any issues. Course was in pretty good shape. Impressive bunkering for a public course. A few really fun holes, a few tougher ones, and a few boring ones. Overall, had a great day! Looking to get back out there sometime soon!

Conditions could be better

I've played Pelham Bay several times and the course was in the poorest condition this time. The greens were extremely slow, and they groundskeeper made it cartpath only although the course was dry as a bone. For a Wednesday, the round should not have taken 5 hours.

I really enjoy playing there, but this round could have gone a lot better.

Fun forgiving track for Bronx/NYC locals

Pelham: Played here about 2 months and conditions improved since then. Not as many burnt/bare spots on fairways and greens. Putting on these greens takes gettting used to because balls run really slow. Can't really cut the greens lower due to the amount of play this place gets.

Course design is classic with fairly wide fairways on most holes makes the track really forgiving. Pelham bay is walking friendly and food/cart deals through the course is probably the best deal in NYC golf. A steal of a bargain when you speak to the course directly.

Mosquito

This course is notorious for having lots of Mosquito. After experiencing the course with mosquito, the rumor became the truth. I am not willing to play in near future when mosquitos are around me although I put vast amount of bug repellent.

Overall good. Not the hardest course, but in good condition

For a New York municipal, the course was in perfectly good shape. Greens rolled well. This is a pretty wide open layout so maybe not the most difficult course, but we enjoyed it.

Solid track, local knowledge helps with tricky layout and greens

Split Rock, the much tougher of the two courses located at Pelham Bay provides challenges to even the most advance skilled players. One of the best designed layouts of all NYC courses, various holes require long well placed tee shots to score on this track. Course conditions were better today than most days I played here. Keep in mind these two tracks get a ton of play. Missing fairways due to errant tee shots will punish players, especially mid to high handicappers. Many holes have turtle back greens so local knowledge helps. Remember good approach shots could still stare at you with 3 putting in mind. Was fortunate to play at a early tee time during the week for no pace issues for today's round. With their location and golf specials they offer, this place is almost impossible to avoid for any avid player. Staff here is always friendly as well.

A nice early morning stroll

Enjoy the round and met new friends playing a decent round after the 4th hole. The course was friendly and the greens were running true. I would recommend to anyone visiting the NYC area. Most of all there are great seafood restaurants on City Island after your Round.

Had an outing on other course, over booked the course, 6.5 hour round of golf. They left there regulars out in between holes. Set out a twosome and than a threesome. No rangers on course to speed up play. Terrible round. CALL first to see if they have an outing or you'll be there all day. Also with drinks and food coupon, couldn't use (Closed) by the time we finished.

Pelham Bay/Split Rock is one of my go-to courses.

I prefer Split Rock, the other course here, but Pelham Bay is a nice course. This is where I first learned to play. The layout is not too challenging, but still fun. Great for a beginner, as we had two beginners in our group, and they had a great time. The starter and rangers are all great guys here. I will continue to play here until I can't swing a club anymore
