Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course

Greens were in impeccable shape even after a full season of play. Had a 6am tee time and finished in roughly 4 hours. Was a single paired with 3 other singles, all very kind gentleman. Will play again for sure

Tucked away and very easy to play. Enjoy your game!

The staff was amazing. For whatever reason even though i booked through the TeeOff app the tee time I booked was double booked. Now worries the staff was very accommodating and managed to make it work and we were able to play. Great experience- would give the staff 10 stars if I could.

Great course layout & variety of holes. Be prepared for lots of walking!

Greens were good, fairways ok, tee boxes not great. Just a bit of warning for those who like to walk- some holes are very far apart (green to tee).

course was nice - greens were in great condition and most of the tee boxes were well grassed. Very crowded.

Slow pace of play... course is a little off it’s very high standards but still the best in nyc

Had a 7:10am tee time today. We arrived early at 6:55am and nobody from the staff was there. Somebody who we later found out did work there shouted from his parked car “might be a delay!” We walked to the first tee to see if anyone might be down there and a course attendant drove up to us in a maintenance cart and reprimanded us telling us to go to the clubhouse. We explained that it was all locked up and nobody was there. We asked if he knew anything and he said “they should be there sometime”. Finally at 7:45am, 35 minutes after we were supposed to tee off someone arrived to unlock and set up. Nonchalant, no apology, just one snide comment to the tune of “you really want to play in this weather, huh?” It was overcast not even raining. Slowly checked us and the other group who had been there even longer in and sent us out. Full charge, not even a hint of “sorry” from anyone on staff. Course itself was fine but the lack of empathy for arriving over an hour after they should have been there was infuriating and terrible customer service.

Being the oldest public course in the USA was a drawing point. You could tell with the slight hills and challenging greens that this is a course that’s been around a while. Especially the set up of bunker locations. A lot of fun including the daunting 620yard 2nd!

Tee boxes were worn as you’d expect in October on a heavily trafficked course but the fairways and greens were in phenomenal shape! Long way to walk but definitely felt like a throwback to a simpler time. Will definitely be back!

There was a light hurricane the night before, so the course was closed. I was told I'd be reimbursed, but GolfNow has awful support, and they have made no effort to reimburse me, despite me having called the course and having submitted support tickets.

I feel bad leaving this review for the course, but this must be rectified.

I played 18 on Saturday afternoon with 2 friends and my wife rode along. First of all, parking is not free for golfers so that was a weird inconvenience. Secondly, we had to pay an entire greens fee for my wife to ride in my cart and watch. I understand this is not unheard of, but considering we were a group of 3 golfers and we had 2 carts, there was room for her and I got the feeling they were just searching for more fees to throw on. The course has NO range and NO putting green to warm up on. There are no push cart options so it’s either cart or walk. With large distances between many of the holes and the last 4 holes being nicknamed “the hills” I would recommend getting a cart. The portable toilets on the course had poop in the urinal and the service log on the inside indicated it had not been serviced for 6 months so no telling when it was last cleaned. The beers and hotdogs at the concession booth at hole 8 were relatively cheap so that was a nice surprise. Now to the important stuff: the tee boxes were either decent at best or total mud pits. We actually opted to hit from the Jr tees on several holes due to the quality of some boxes. The greens were pretty clear of issues and had fun challenging slopes and breaks, however we found that they broke much less than we all anticipated Time and time again. Lastly, the PACE was horrendous. We had a 2pm tee time and did not even drive hole 15 due to the sunset. The front 9 took about 3 hrs. I believe this is due to overbooking. The group 2 in front of us had a group of 5 teeing off and even they were backed up in front of them. Overall I’d give the conditions a 5/10 and the mgmt of the course a 2/10.

A pretty nice course but their course have to walk a lot.

I usually like to walk for golfing.

I felt they were so long to go to next hole.

I actually have done great excise.

Their staff were not friendly at all .
