Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course

First time I played here. Course was quite dry despite the recent snow meltdown. Greens rolled pretty good. Unfortunately holes 15-18 were closed due to persistent icing. Would play here again.

Love it very challenging course and awesome atmosphere.. also the workers are very friendly and professional will keep on goi g..

The elder statesmen of public’s. Great layout. Could use some love particularly around tee boxes. It will never be Beth Page Black. It is what it is.

The first tee shot was away, not bad, then four women came on the course looking for a dog, and constantly yelling . They claimed it was allowed by the pro shop. Thankfully it was a slow day reducing their risk for injury.

First off, I had no issues with the coarse layout or the conditions and the staff was terrific; However on a crowded day (Veterans Day), I was on double deck for most holes and walkers contributed to the pace due to very long walks between some of the holes. Be weary of Hot Deals here. They charge $18.98 convenience fee for two and charge another $40 for a cart (on top of the Hot Deal price)

Reading all the great reviews about this course I was excited to play it because mostly everyone said the course conditions where great. I couldn’t be more disappointed with the maintenance of this course. I felt like I was hitting off dirt. Grass, didn’t see much of it. Tee boxes didn’t have any grass, fairways where VERY spotty. My lawn was better than this course. If I knew I could of upload photos I would of.

Never play this course again even if it was for free

Probably the most accessible non-executive 18 hole course from Manhattan, straight shot up the 1 train and drops you off a 5 minute walk from the course. Had an 11:45 tee time and did not tee off until 1pm because the "frost conditions" from the morning delayed everything for everyone - I felt like that situation could have been managed much better (I.e. cancel earlier tee times or give notice to all reservations). Once we were finally on, the course was great and it very well kept for the standards of a public NYC course (except for the tee boxes). That being said, the pace of play was excruciating - we barely finished the round by the time it got dark. A round that should have started at 11:45 and been done by 4pm became an all day affair and we did not finish until 6pm!

No effort was made to remove leaves making play difficult, tee boxes were in bad shape, lots of bare patches on fairways. Restaurant was ok and restrooms were very clean.
