Too Hot For This Snowbird

Price on Golf Now was exceptional. Only $15 rental for a reasonable set of Wilson clubs.
Not a lot of amenities but the guys at the front desk were great. This was the first time playing this course, and after the three guys I was playing with stopped after 9, I was on my own trying to find the next hole (s). There were not much in guidance, except for tee markers. The layout did not make sense and I found myself playing the wrong holes. Maybe spray paint the next hole number and arrows on the pathways or signs guiding you to the next hole. Very enjoyable for this hacker from New Yawk.

Man it was cold today.

Very cold, not too many golfers, had a 3 1/2 hr round. Course was in very good shape. Greens and bunkers were in very playable shape. The course made it through the winter well. You do have to keep carts on the cart path though.

Where’s the ranger?

Very slow play. Group ahead of us were very slow. There was at least a two hole gap developed between them and the group in front of them by their slow play. No ranger came along to get them to speed things up.

Mosquitoes (gnats?) were all over, especially the last three holes. (This was the Joba Chamberlain experience I never wanted to have). Hopefully they will spray there to get rid of them.

Golf in October!

Greens were aerated recently and were bumpy. Fairways were in great shape, balls were lost in rough under fallen leaves (to be expected). Tee boxes were rough, but it is November. Nearly broke 90, I haven't done that in quite a while.

I played about 10 rounds of golf here this summer,'. Course was a lot better than I thought it would be. The staff is great and very accommodating. Burgers and hot dogs at midway were tasty and well priced. Big selection of craft bottled beer.

All in all, it was very enjoyable playing at Van Cortlandt this year. Will definitely play here next year. Maybe I will finally break 90.

Shotgun start after outing or tournament

Started on hole 4 @ 2pm. Very fast round, 3 1/2 hours. Felt rushed by the two players assigned to me and my son to make a foursome. No burgers or hot dogs at midway, should have eaten lunch beforehand. Really like the cheeseburgers they serve.
Course is in good condition. Greens could have been rolled better, tough to get a true roll.
Starter always friendly, pro shop were professional as usual.

Course is in great condition!

Played 18 holes in 4 1/2 hrs. Greens are in really good shape, putts run true. Get a cheeseburger at the midway, mighty tasty.

First time playing in February!

Even after a morning shower, the course was still playable. This is the earliest I have ever played golf in the Northeast. Considering that Beekman did not open until May 1st last year, yesterday was a bonus. I hope they can make some of the money back they lost last year.

Course is in good shape, the greens were aerated and were a bit bumpy.

Indoor golf at it's best

I went on a rainy day and their were golfers there, but it wasn't super busy. Staff was extremely helpful and super friendly. Over 100 courses available, we played Pebble Beach. Very realistic and challenging. They also have a fabulous mini golf course and looked like they do club repair/regrouping as well. We were able to complete all 18 holes and had time to play 3-4 par three holes as well as warm up for 10 minutes before we bagan our 2 hour reservation.wish they would build one in Westchester County, NY. Oh we'll, there's always the cheaper gasoline in Jersey to defray the traveling expenses.

Favorite course in the tri-state region

Course has been in great condition this year, even with some challenging weather conditions. Having a 27 hole layout keeps it from getting boring, although my favorite 9s are the Highland and Taconic. Staff is super friendly and very helpful. I played mostly on Wedsnesdays afternoons and it was very easy to get on and rounds were routinely under 4 hours with a cart. Great value especially using GolfNow.
