Bronx is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Bronx follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

First time here to play as a new golfer! Feel good, the course condition is good , staff is friendly ! I enjoy the playing here! Just the sign is unclear to the check in place! Hopefully management can add the new direction sign to find the office easier!

Excellent place with it’s own ecosystem. Fresh water lake with so many kind of fishes and wild ducks. Can spent all day here with or without friends and family.

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 would come again~~ We had a fun day. Nice warm welcom at the club and restaurant.

β€’ No special pass β€” 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. β€’ Historic & iconic: Opened in 1895, Van Cortlandt is widely cited as the oldest public municipal golf course in the U.S. β€” a true piece of NYC golf history. β€’ Easy transit access: It’s one of the city courses easiest to reach by subway β€” the 1 train (Van Cortlandt Park–242 St) is a short walk away. Great for riders without a car. β€’ Course & facilities: An 18-hole public course with a clubhouse, practice area/driving range and equipment rental/refreshment options β€” good for both casual rounds and serious play. β€’ Tee times, rates & booking: Green fees vary by time/day (early bird, 18-hole, twilight) β€” check GolfNYC for current rates and to reserve. Booking ahead is recommended, especially weekends. β€’ Why golfers like it: Local vibe, historic charm, and easy mass-transit access make it popular with everyday New Yorkers and visiting players. --- ⚠️ What to keep in mind β€’ Course condition can vary: Recent player reviews note uneven tee boxes and some maintenance

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.
