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
My round
No cart services on course. No rangers out on course to help with oace of play
Great course
Outstanding g day today. Tees off at 4 did 18 no rush.
Value
This is a decent course for the money. It's not a long course but can be unforgiving at times. Definitely worth the time and money.
Old Classic
Love this classic layout and it's hard to believe you're playing golf in the Bronx! Such lush greenery and beauty. Course was a in great shape, but the greens were a bit slow and furry. Otherwise no complaints. Beautiful day and always enjoy playing "Vanny".
Ok course, accessible by subway
Really need ranger to keep pushing the pace of play because pace of play was really poor
STAY AWAY!!!!
This was the absolute worst round of my life. Started off horrible. The first tee box was backed up over 30 mins... I don’t even want to re call this horrible day. Needless to say it was a 6 hr and 13 min round!!!! 72.00... you have got to be kidding me! The rangers did nothing about it either. Just a bunch of dopes! Place is a joke!
Playing nice in early season
I played Van Cortlandt on Saturday and the course is in about as good of condition as I’ve played it. Greens were rolling true and fairways were nice. A few areas still recovering from winter. The biggest problem is always pace of play because there is no one who maintains it. While the round was only about 4.75 hours, many people were playing the same holes multiple times due to the wait time. This obviously made the wait even longer so while some people played the same same 4 holes three times and didn’t have to wait, everyone else was backed up and the round dragged on.
Oldest public course in USA
My local course in great shape considering the bad winter that never ended ,I know a lot of the guys there so it’s a fun round ,greens were quick despite rain in the early hours
Where’s the ranger?
Very slow play. Group ahead of us were very slow. There was at least a two hole gap developed between them and the group in front of them by their slow play. No ranger came along to get them to speed things up.
Mosquitoes (gnats?) were all over, especially the last three holes. (This was the Joba Chamberlain experience I never wanted to have). Hopefully they will spray there to get rid of them.
Reliable
As a single player I am interested in super low Hot Deals when they become available as I am not usually up to playing a full 18 holes alone.That's why I opt for playing at quiet mid afternoon times during the week.
Van Cortlandt is close by and I know the course well so I play there whenever possible if I see a low price deal. This week I played there twice.
It is divided into 4 distinct sections so riding only is recommended or you'll walk extra to the next set of holes.Most holes are wide open enough with only a couple of narrow fairways.
The course was in good shape for early spring.
The weather was chilly and cool.
The staff with the exception of one guy are very friendly.
Not a bad course
First time to play there. It was cold on the day of play at 42 F highest. May be that why it was not crowded. Unfortunately, we had 4 snow storm in March and holes 14-18 was closed. We have to play hole 1-4 to make up for those holes. The course is not very long. Layout was interesting. Good for beginner. I am sure this course will be very crowded in good weather since it is so close to the city.
Great Muni
great muni, easily located off highway. great condition
for an older course. well worth the trip.
For a Muni, well worth it.
played this many times during off season as well as during. open all winter weather permitting and in excellent condition. well worth it.....
Great Muni
Oldest muni course in the US. You will not believe the great conditions.Open all year weather permitting. Can be walked but has a few long streches in between holes. Well worth a try and you will come back.
For a Muni, well worth it.
played again this winter here. well worth the time. for the oldest muni in America in great shape and if you like challenging greens you will love this. very wide open layout and walkable, if you are anywhere near NYC have to try it.
