Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course

There are several short par 4’s that are fun to play and a couple long par 5’s that are challenging. Head pro is extremely friendly and gave a little history of the course.

Good round of golf with ok pace of play. Course condition was good except for a couple of tee boxes. As usually, Paul in the clubhouse was friendly and helpful,

Course in better shape. Noticed new first tee being built. Finally.

I was surprised at the condition of the course. The tee boxes were almost bare; large patches of the fairways were bare also. The greens were pretty good. I enjoy playing the course, so you can understand that I was a bit disappointed. I know the crazy weather is largely responsible.

Course is tight and has a good layout. Tee boxes are in horrible condition. No driving range and the putting green is up by the first hole about half a mile away from the pro shop. Still an enjoyable time and the shack in the middle that you hit 3 times is very nice

Course conditions were very good. My only complaint were the conditions of some of the tee boxes.

- do not play after it rains. Course has a really hard time draining.

- tee boxes are a mess. One doesn’t exist and 10 is a sandbox. Others are very patchy.

- course nickel and dimes you to death. Hot Dog 6.50. Only public courses that charges to park ($3). $45 to walk and another $20 to ride. They do it because it’s super convenient, but if you want bang for your buck go somewhere in queens or out of the city. $75 can get you a lot of course that’s better than here.
