After half the groups had teed off and there was still 4 or 5 in front of us. And we were on time. Photo submitted by null on 09/25/2014
Place looks better and better every time I come back to play
I have been play vancortlandt golf course for many many years. I play and practice here because it is very close to my house. I have seen this course at its complete worst. This golf season I would have to say it is the best this course has ever looked in all the years I have been playing here. It is a municipal course and gets a lot of play and a lot of Amateurs who come and beat the course up. But the new superintendent and his small crew have really been cleaning the course up and bringing it back to life. My only complaint is they need more rangers on the weekends so rounds don’t take 5 hours.
Slow Sunday
I love the layout of this course, but tee boxes need work (many have no grass) and pace of play was terrible (4.5 hours for 13 holes… had to walk off, could not finish, would have been 5.5 hours for 18). Rangers did very little, even though holes were open in front of us. Starter was very friendly and the food in the clubhouse was excellent. Halfway house was also excellent and well stocked. Just wish people played faster. I’ll be back, but on a weekday.
worth coming back to
I had fun playing this course. I look forward to playing here again.
Summer golf
A hot buggy day, need bug spray esp. hole 8-11. The 1st tee box much better finally
Accessible course with pace of play issues
Van Cortlandt Park is probably the most accessible course around New York City which is great, but also its curse. Many beginners play their first rounds here and pace of play is slow as a result with the ranger (if he's present) simply giving up on the issue.
It's a Muni course, so expectations are naturally limited and it's a decent course for that, but $85 for a round including the cart are steep for what it is. Will likely still return for a practice round some time.
Noooo bueno
Avoid weekend play, I hear weekdays are faster rounds but very slow, bad golfers and no rangers effectively doing anything to help. Plus poor conditions.
