One of the only public options in the Hamptons, the 9-hole Poxabogue is a local favorite but underwhelms with poor conditioning and a short, cramped layout. I’d recommend this course only to novices or higher handicappers. … More Review: Poxabogue Golf Center
Marine Park is clearly one of the best municipal courses in the NYC system with strong conditions, good value, and a linksy, seaside location, but is hurt by a flat terrain and somewhat repetitive layout. It is worth a play if in the area. … More Review: Marine Park Golf Course
Although not on the same level as Bethpage Black or Red, Bethpage Green is a nice municipal course offering strong value, classic architecture, and an easier layout for all golfers to enjoy. It is worth a play in the area. … More Review: Bethpage State Park Golf Course – Green Course
While it won’t appeal to everyone, Inness will undoubtedly leave a deep lasting impression on everyone who experiences its incredible variety and some of the wildest greens on the planet. While I am curious about the business model and uncertain it will live up to Sweetens, Inness is a must-play at least once for everyone and well-worth the drive from the City. … More Review: Inness
Relatively unknown compared to its more famous neighbor Van Cortlandt, Mosholu is a classic 9-hole municipal course that admirably serves The First Tee and offers an affordable, well-conditioned, great option for New Yorkers looking to play a quick nine. I especially recommend this course to children and beginners. … More Review: Mosholu Golf Course
Well-known as America’s oldest muni, Van Cortlandt Park is often short and simplistic, but offers strong variety and a lot of history at a great value. I recommend this course to all visitors to New York who consider themselves golf architecture enthusiasts. … More Review: Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course
A classic design held back by poor conditioning and limited amenities, South Brooklyn’s Dyker Beach won’t break the bank but is not one of the better New York City munis. … More Review: Dyker Beach Golf Course
While architecturally Patriot Hills could benefit from a stronger finish and better par threes, this mountainous course just north of New York City offers tremendous value and conditions as well as some terrific and memorable holes. I highly recommend this public course to all those in the Tri-state area. … More Review: Patriot Hills Golf Club
Wonderfully quirky, old-school, and surprisingly challenging, Shelter Island A.K.A. Goat Hill is a step back in time for the golfer. While this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, the wackiness and variety alone make this a worthy stop for this who appreciate interesting golf architecture. … More Review: Shelter Island Country Club
While not exactly the most memorable course, Ravenwood is a very strong upscale public course with excellent conditioning and a nice layout. This is no doubt one of the best public courses in the region and one I would recommend. … More Review: Ravenwood Golf Club
