Great Winter Course
It’s winter and I was surprised at how good the fairways and green were kept. I can’t say the same for the tee boxes… also there were hardly any leaves on the course. Pace of play is usually fair. Overall i recommend this course.

Mature course with good layout. Cart paths need repair
Van Cortland Park is a very well used course due to its proximity to Manhattan and the Bronx.
Once the Westchester County courses close for the winter it gets busier.
One of the two folks in my three some yesterday had come from Manhattan.
Overall its a good public course; but I wonder why the management do not invest the revenue generated towards better up-keep1?

Course Layout
Tee boxes are beat up because this is one of only a few course that stay open all year round and since the weather has been decent so is golfers are taking advantage. So with that being said we are beating the tee boxes up and grass doesn’t grow in the winter.
