Summary:
This is one of the two courses where I learned the game 25 years ago. This version, with its nine holes, is very playable, and not as quirky as the original executive 18 holer, or the subsequent 9 hole course. It's a great place to learn the game, with the putting and chipping greens. I am not a fan of the Cayman ball range, but eventually it will be replaced when the filtration plant is finished - in my lifetime I hope. It is also a deceptively challenging course for more experienced golfers, with several tees and green approaches pinched in by trees, and several uphill landing areas making drives shorter than expected. The greens are very good, with nice, challenging contours. The entire course is fairly well maintained, and when the conditions are right - just me, a couple of new playing companions, and not too many players on the course - it is a pretty well paced, enjoyable round.

Summary:
This is a great little course for the beginner, and the cheapest place to play in the city. It's also the most easily accesible by subway. Features a driving range as well as a pitching and putting green, and generally on the weekdays it is not too busy. Plus the twilight starts at 3 p.m., so it's easy to get in a bunch of golf for dirt cheap. I was also suprised how well-maintained the course was. Only nine holes and it's very short, but fairly tight and a lot of fun. A great place to learn if you're new to the game.

Summary:
This course is going to be torn up by NYC water filtraton plant probably in 2005. Driving range will be gone. The course is average. The lack of real maintinence is because they know the bulldozers are coming eventually. Van Cortlandt is much better experience but this place is cheap and not too crowded.
