Nice muni
Look, it could be amazing. Especially if it had some kind of member option like the west coast clubs do. But it’s worth playing. Enjoyed myself despite having to pull over and do some work. Get out there and enjoy.

NYC’s Best Public Course
Van Courtland is hands down NYC’s best public golf course. Fairways and tee boxes are in great shape with little imperfections. Some greens do need some extra care due to the lack of care from other golfers not repairing divots. Pace of play varies but during the weekday at an early afternoon tee time we finished in just over 4.5 hours. Overall Van Courtland is phenomenal course and is now my go to course in NYC.
