The staff stinks

A great course, badly maintained, by a surly staff of impatient nitwits.

Back To My Home Course

This was my first round, at Van Cortlandt Golf Course, this season. A shoulder injury caused me, to delay the start of my season.

I was glad to return and see familiar staff! It was nice, to be there!

Meh. Conditions are mainly bad. Some okay. Whatever you do get a cart. Course layout is bizarre and far.

Not Bad

The Greens were Good! But there are a few holes that the fair ways could really use some work.

These same fairways have had the same issues for quite some time now!

Course is in good shape.

Started our round at about 6:30am and finished in 3 hours.

The course always plays at a good pace.

Tee Boxes

It’s embarrassing that after years, years the first tee box is still a driving range mat with a pristine box that they dare call the putting green behind it. Several other tee boxes were dirt or patchy grass at best, fairways are fine and greens are in good condition.

Potentially great course

I played as part of a twosome and it took us 5 hours to get through 18 on a Saturday afternoon. Besides that and some tee boxes in need of a little TLC, this course was fun. It’s not too long and greens were in really good shape. Most of the holes are tree lined and there’s some undulation to contend with, but it’s manageable, even for a bad golfer like myself. I’ll definitely come back, though maybe on a weekday to avoid some of the rush.
