Pelham Bay Golf Course
One of NYC oldest public courses - classic Bronx parkland since 1901.
About this course
Pelham Bay Golf Course sits within Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx, New York City's largest park, along Long Island Sound. It is one of the oldest public golf courses in the country, first opened for play in 1901 on land laid out under New York City Parks Department direction, with later course work attributed to architect John Van Kleek. The layout runs over gently rolling terrain through wooded parkland, with wide, generous fairways that make it a forgiving round compared with its neighboring Split Rock course. It is a public 18-hole facility operated by the city, reachable by car from Manhattan, with a historic 1930s-era clubhouse shared with Split Rock offering food service and tee time booking.

Sprain Lake Golf Course
Yonkers, NY · 7.5 mi away
Sprain Lake Golf Course is a Westchester County-owned public course in Yonkers, New York, located on Grassy Sprain Road in a wooded, residential part of the county. Designed by golf course architect Tom Winton, Sprain Lake has small greens and rolling terrain, with a long, narrow routing that produces a mostly linear, back-and-forth style of play. Water hazards come into play on a number of holes, adding to the course's difficulty despite its modest length. The course is operated by Westchester County's golf division alongside several sister municipal courses and is open to public play. It measures 6,110 yards from the back tees at a par of 70 over 18 holes.
Harbor Links Golf Course
Port Washington, NY · 8.2 mi away
Harbor Links Golf Course in Port Washington was built on the site of a former sand mine and opened in 1998 to a design by Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry. The links-style layout uses the exposed, sandy terrain left by more than a century of mining, including split fairways and a prominent rocky bluff. Enormous volumes of sand were extracted from the site historically for use in New York City construction. The course is public and operated by Nassau County on Long Island's North Shore.
