Loved this course!

Had a great time golfing mid-Feb. Amazing conditions considering it is middle of winter. Will plan to come a lot during the summer, some great challenging holes and some fun easier holes to balance the course.

It's a fine layout but the staff is not very friendly and the conditions were pretty bad. To be fair it was February, but nonetheless the prices were way too high for the time of year, the course conditions, and the pace of play.

One of the best in NYC

We played a round in a warm February day, can’t complain about that. Van Cortland is a fantastic layout and has stood the test of time. It’s a great value in the NYC area. Course was in good shape.

Good winter golf destination

Not the best kept course, but not the worst either. Very decent for $60 with cart for someone who does not live in NYC. Could do worse.

winter golf

The course does not drain well so cart path only, and some soggy fairways, tee boes , greens were ok. The players need to fix ball marks

Great Winter Course

It’s winter and I was surprised at how good the fairways and green were kept. I can’t say the same for the tee boxes… also there were hardly any leaves on the course. Pace of play is usually fair. Overall i recommend this course.

Tee boxes are beat up because this is one of only a few course that stay open all year round and since the weather has been decent so is golfers are taking advantage. So with that being said we are beating the tee boxes up and grass doesn’t grow in the winter.
