How many golf courses are within 45 miles of New York?
BogeyMap publishes 77 public, resort and semi-private golf courses within 45 miles of downtown New York, and 77 of them carry a LooperScore. The radius is measured in a straight line, so it can include courses across a state line. Private clubs are not counted.
Can you play private golf courses near New York as a guest?
Usually only with a member. Most private clubs near New York require a member to sponsor or join you. Some allow limited non-member play through a hotel stay, a stay-and-play package or off-season tee times. BogeyMap Pro lists those documented paths, and the club always has the final say.
How are golf courses near New York ranked?
By LooperScore, BogeyMap's own 0-100 rating. It combines course quality signals, verified golfer ratings and editorial review of each New York-area course. We never republish another publication's rankings, and a course shows a score only once the supporting evidence exists, so some courses are listed without one.
