Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course

Great course, always love playing here but price is a little steep for what it is. They charge you $20 per person (not per cart ) for riding, which is ridiculous considering that one person can rent a cart for $20 but they expect you to fork over another $20 just for someone to sit next to you. Like I said fun course, but cmon, course cost us $38 per person at 3:00 pm and they wanted $40 for one cart .

Love the course, its history, and its convenient proximity to Manhattan. On a good day, if you keep the ball in play, it's a really fun course. Especially that heart attack hill ending. But until they can fix their tee boxes, I might lay off. Played this in November and was teeing off dirt boxes with tee locations being marked by tree branches stuck in the ground. Thought that they would have improved these by now. But nope, tee boxes are exactly the same. Not a tee marker to be found. Rarely were we driving off flat boxes with grass. Sand traps were a nightmare to get out of because of the rocks and hard conditions. And I always walk, but carted it yesterday to try and beat the sun, and man, some of these cart paths require seatbelts for those bumps. Hope we can chalk this up to a 2020 pandemic hangover and early season woes; fingers crossed that maintenance improves as we get deeper into the season.

Need to have tee markers in place. Couldn’t tell where I was supposed to tee off from. Starters need to enforce pace of play more. Overall, fun course. Some challenging holes !

Tee off marker were not available. Wasn’t sure if I tee off black or blue.and multiple hole on the green

I really enjoy this course. Yes it’s in the Bronx, Yes, some of the greens need work but overall it’s a great course to walk and play. The course was in very good condition for the season opening (I know they are open all the time) but now that the weather is warming up, it was busy.. my favorite hole is 18 where you can see the hustle and bustle of the Sawmill River traffic and say “Thank God I’m here not out there”. If you are in the area, you need to give it a round.

There was a frost delay and would have appreciated a notice on the website.

The course has so much potential if they put some money into it. Tee boxes were worn and no signs of improvement. Traps have sand but were filled with branches and look like they were never raked, ever. Greens were decent., fairways were fair at best. Fencing along trails were rusty and broken . You would think with the amount of play and the history behind the course there would be more done to restore this sleeping beauty.

Horrible Experience. We played today Sunday March 21st, 2021. Had a 2:45pm tee time. Arrived at 145 an hour early to warm up and check in. We were told we couldn't check in and there was a one hour frost delay to tee off. There were 15 delayed groups in front of us. By the time we teed off it was 4pm. The greens were in horrendous shape. There were additional holes left on the green from when they change holes. The starter and rangers didn't keep pace even though we were already delayed an hour and a half. Foursomes in front of us hit multiple mulligans holding us up further. We only got in 7 holes before it got dark. The fact that it was a historic course on what was otherwise a nice day was the only redeeming quality. Don't play here. Period. Anytime soon
