After half the groups had teed off and there was still 4 or 5 in front of us. And we were on time. Photo submitted by null on 09/25/2014
Don’t waste your time
Played this past Tuesday. 30 minute delay to tee off a mat on the first hole. Greens were being aerated and a bunch of holes had temp greens. The foursome in front of us were playing skins so they were super slow and could care less that they were backing the course up. I was told that one of them was the food manager at the course, he should have known better. Needless to say the round took 5 hours, ridiculous for a week day. Every green was unplayable. Paying full green fees is criminal to play here. Don’t waste your time until spring.
Great condition
Fairways in good shape, greens in mostly excellent shape, very slow front 9, but expected.
1st tee box, really?!?!?
Driving range mat for the first tee box is embarrassing, not the first impression one wants especially with a perfectly good tee box behind it for the past 2 years!! Waited for 3 groups on the AstroTurf mat, waited on every hole to tee off and waited to play on. We walked off the course after 14 and noticed they still had a 3 group backup in the first stall of the driving range, oh I mean the first tee. SMH, won’t be playing here again this year.
My old back yard
Grew up in Riverdale, last played this course over 20 years ago. On the Upper East Side now, obviously very close and convenient, good bang for the buck.
Layout of the holes a bit funky, but had a great round.
How bout some grass ?
The fairways are horrible. Weeds and dirt . Hard to find a good lie.
Slow pace. Would not come back.
Almost took 6 hours and the rangers didn’t mind it at all. Hmmn.
Super Slow
The pace of play here was awful. The foursome in front of our twosome didn’t allow us to pass & the ranger didn’t ask them to pick up the pace. No way I’ll play here again.
The First tee box was a mat. That was my only issue. Everything else was great. Course is in awesome shape.
It took too long to play.
We had a 1:32 tee time and we did not finish until 7:30- BRUTAL!!!!!!
Van Courtland golf
The course is a fun and challenging course. It requires some accurate shots but it is forgiving at times. You have to use all the clubs in your bag. It long enough to be tough and short enough to be fun.
I played with two great guys that the course teamed me up with. They played the course regularly and knew all the spots to hit the ball. I have played it several times before and will play it again.
refund my greenfee 90$
We played golf this golf course friday july 12 2019

I don't understand this situation
so please check again and let me know
as soon as possible
A very mixed bag
Played today for the first time in about eight years. First, the good: The pace of play was excellent (3:40) owing to the heat and getting out early in contrast to the six hour rounds that are common there.. The greens are in excellent conditions. Can’t beat $35 “senior” rate. Staff is friendly and helpful. Second, the bad: Tee boxes are a mess, and the first tee box is so bad, one has to use a mat. Fairways are also in sad shape and grass, where there is some, is too long. At least half the cart paths are broken, frost-heaved, etc. Carts run, but are old and decrepit.
Until the course gets fixed up, I can’t see going back or recommending it. With a modest investment, Vanny could be a four star experience.
Excellent Course
Great day,the course is fun and challenging also well kept.My foursome was done in 3:50 which is incredible for a public course in NYC.Cant wait to go back.
NYC golf
Enjoyed my round, hadn’t played here for about 10 years. Nice clubhouse upgrade in the meantime. Reasonable prices for food and drinks. Friendly starter tees off right on time. The greens are nice if a little slow, I’m used to faster greens. Tee boxes and fairways a little inconsistent and patchy. Probably because the course gets a lot of play. Its a fair test of golf and you can score well if your game is on.
25 minutes from midtown Manhattan, $74 with cart on the weekend so the green fee is getting up there but I enjoyed the round. Tee time was 7:48am and we got round in 4 1/2 hours which is quick for a NYC course
not stung
excellent course condition except first tee box lost two balls not because of an errant shot but the hornets swarming around at several holes just left them behind and dropped. Shame because they ruined what was an excellent day into just good
