Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course

Probably my favorite course in the city. It plays short but you have to hit it straight. The staff is hands down the best around, friendly and hospitable. A few of the tee-boxes need work but overall it was in great shape for the amount of traffic they see.

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!

Good course.

Greens and fairways are in great shape.

like the layout of this course. Good condition compared to a number of the other city courses. would definitely play here again

Not sure if it was simply the new Protocols but the way the course was managed was great_the Staff were kind but professional _In the past pace-of-play has been a real problem_Hope these new standards can be maintained_TYVM JAMES KLIER

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 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.

It was a perfect day. weather was great and we finished in under 4 hrs. We like the last 4 holes the best.

While a lot of courses around NYC are not in very good shape at the moment this one is! The greens are in very good shape so is the course!

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.

Unfortunately we got hit with a thunder and lighting stone on the 11th hole and the course get flooded out so we could play 11. It was fun while it lasted
