Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course

It is kind of sad to see that America's oldest public golf course is not in the best shape. The cart path is beat up, things aren't properly signaled, the staff was at the clubhouse wasn't friendly, there were no tee markers, the trash bins were broken, there were no ball washers in any holes, I found myself in a bunker without a rake to clean up. It could be a great course; it has a great layout especially for beginners like me but it just needs a lot of maintenance.

It's nice to on a decent day in February

There aren't many courses open

They refuse to let me use my own cart. They charge you $25 and expect you to drive around in a cart with someone all day that you do not know. And enjoy yourself as you would buy yourself. I smoke cigars and enjoy smoking them, I don’t think it’s necessary to burden someone with my cigar smoke all day. I understand if it was the middle of the summer and the course was packed but it wasn’t unacceptable. Unpleasant experience ruined my day!

First time playing this historic course. Feb round so not crowded. The course was in decent condition considering it was winter.

Fun Course. Despite 5500 yds for the mid tees, there are two 550+ yd par 5s, which is long for my group. $70 w/ cart, a bit pricey for Feb. But I'd like to come back again.

Grateful for this gem, nestled in the Bronx. Some of the teas need work, however, for the amount of people that play the course On a daily basis, it’s in pretty good shape

. I definitely appreciate the amount of work. It takes to keep The course greens in decent shape. The staff is not very friendly. They never let me forget that I’m playing in the Bronx.. Loll

Recommend going out in the fall while weather is still nice. If you plan to walk, just know that the course layout is pretty separated, so ends up being a very long walk between holes.

Ban Courtland is usually very good and course keeps getting better with a new greenkeeper and it seems more resources.

Unfortunately on the day we played 9 of the first 14 greens were temporary greens due to coring and sanding (we gave up after 14). When booking this should be made clear it clear and we definitely felt we had paid for what was a incomplete course which was under renovation.

Totally worth playing here, just not when they are doing greens.

I was really excited to play the oldest golf course in the US. You would think having that distinction this place would have more history to show. The original locker room looks more like a storage room. Very few pictures of the past. The pro shop had very little in it. The course itself was in horrible shape. I get the time in the season but if you’re going to charge prime rates then have better playing conditions. Very disappointing.

A nice day for golfing. I walked the course, vart path only several holes, tough walking course.
