After half the groups had teed off and there was still 4 or 5 in front of us. And we were on time. Photo submitted by null on 09/25/2014
Fun Course. Almost always in great shape.
Really enjoy this course. It’s fun To play. On the shorter side, but still challenging. Decent workout when you walk out. Greens and fairways are almost always in great shape. Nice putting green near the first tee. 19th hole has lots of good food options both cold and hot, even breakfast.
Highly recommend this course.
The Oldest Public Course
I’ve been playing golf for almost 20 years and a New Yorker but never played here. The place is pretty cool to check out if you have time to check it out. Upstairs is an original locker room and downstairs has some famous members lockers.
The routing is pretty interesting. It’s a very tight, tree lined course so make sure you can hit it straight. There’s nothing wrong with going less than driver. 15-18 feels squeezed in but that makes sense because Robert Moses didn’t care and put a parkway thru it. There is one really dumb blind shot par 3 but otherwise some really fun holes. Greens were slowwwww but again that course gets a lot of play so that makes sense. I’ll be back now that I know it
VCP
Other than too many broken T's on the tee-boxes, and too many unrepaired divots in on the greens, it is a great course.
Vanny needs a face lift
I play here at least 3 times a month because I love golf and it's 3 blocks from my home. The course is not in the greatest of shape and is riddled with potholes. The tee boxes are the worst in the city and need serious repair. The food selection is very limited at the turn but the clubhouse has a better selection. There is a good selection of beers both at the turn and at the clubhouse. The staff is somewhat friendly on some days and depends on what side of the bed they got up on. I enjoy playing here and recommend the course if you have 5 - 5-1/2 hours to kill on the weekend because the pace of play is horrendous on the weekend. During the week the course plays a lot faster and you should be done in 4 - 41/2 hours. They do need to update the golf carts as they are always stalling and at times can't make it up the hill without great difficulty. On occasions you can catch a dirt bike or two on the back four holes. Not sure what's going on with the dirt bikes on the course and the parks department really should look into this.
Overall the golf ranks 3 out of 5 and I'm being generous. there are much better golf course nearby such as Lake Isle, Mosholu, and Dunn Woodie. They all have practice facilities and updated golf carts. The food is also better at Lake Isles and Dunn Woodie.
