05-02-2026 It was beautiful day, and nice out before Summer hit. Nice fairways and nice greens. Faster than I thought. Never new this good golf course in NYC. Thank you, Mr. Frank. The ranger(starter) was very kind and gave good professional golf tips. Nice talking to you sir. 03-21-2026 Windy but sunny day!! First out 2026 Nice compact course with short yards but they have some challenges. I love 2 Par 5 distance over 600 yds. It is not perfect but some where near in NYC, this is very nice. I
• No special pass — but reserve a tee time: The course is public; you can play by booking tee times online (GolfNYC / GolfNow) and paying green fees at the gate or online. NYC resident rates are available with a permit. • Historic & iconic: Opened in 1895, Van Cortlandt is widely cited as the oldest public municipal golf course in the U.S. — a true piece of NYC golf history. • Easy transit access: It’s one of the city courses easiest to reach by subway — the 1 train (Van Cortlandt Park–242 St)
Visiting one of my best friends in NYC so we decided to play a Sunday morning 630 slot. Great layout and well maintained course, really dangerous rough due to how thick the grass is (good luck finding your ball) but overall great Parkland circuit to appreciate both the game and the history behind it. Thanks for having me.
