Vanny after 40 years!

Hadn't played van Cortland in 40 years. where i learned to play. So while staying on City Island I played Vanny 3 days straight. Tee boxes and fairways could use some work, and greens were slow, but I loved it! It's Vanny, the oldest public golf course in America. Two of the longest par 5's (615,600) were a challenge and keep the ball straight or you are playing around some trees. Alot of fun!

Great Character

Early tee time got us through the round in less than 4-hrs. Greens were in great shape but a little on the slow side, fairways were in good shape but many of the tee boxes were pretty chewed up, especially the 1st tee. The course is a great layout being broken up into some 5-sections, it has lots of character. Unfortunately with COVID issues/restrictions, the amenities were limited.

Fun course, always shoot under there.

Fun short course. Very scorable course. Tee boxes are probabaly the worst in the city, fair ways aren't too much better. Greens are decent, but slow. I've played there when the greens are in great shape, and when they're good, the course has potential of being one of the best city courses.

Had fun: Twilight

On a whim, decided to play at 5:40pm. I knew I'd only get 9 holes in and for the price, I chose to play 9 at VC rather than at Mosholu. I just started to gey back into the game and did start a bit slow, but had no one behind me. I walked and I really enjoyed my time. The Tee's are a bit rough, but I didn't mind. The greens I felt were fine and now slow. Overall, the course looked maintained albeit Covid and Hurricane. I'd go back and play again.

Very disappointing

Cow pasture. That’s all I could say. Greens were so slow because They have not been cut and the tee boxes are just a joke. Very disappointing and not worth the money
