Hi Golfers!  I'm new to NYC and looking to meet friends through my love of golf.  As a single male in my 30's, i'd like to join a men's league if it exists.  I have a car so I can drive.  I'm being told that the golf clubs in the suburbs are mostly consisting of families with kids who live there.  Where do the single guys in NYC go?  Does it exist?  Any suggestions?

Split Rock/Pelham in the Bronx is probably my favorite, but Van Cortlandt in the BX is also an option.  There's Kissena and Clearview in Queens which are also pretty good, and there's another in Brooklyn (i forget the name) that is good.

If you ever want to drive up north to Poughkeepsie let me know and we can meet up and play a round.

Chelsea Piers, lol? I think a Drive Shack or some variant is under construction? Most professionals working in Manhattan drive out for an hour or so to either NJ, LI, or Westchester and play whatever's public. Or take the LIRR to Bethpage. Maybe that 9 hole course I forget the name in Newark. Skyway! I play Bethpage mostly so if you want to meet up.

When I lived in NYC there was a lot of golf in North Jersey, it's a bit of a drive to some places but well worth it.

Sussex county is North-West NJ but there is some great golf.   There are at least 5 courses in the Crystal Springs complex and Great Gorge and Skyview are pretty cool as well.   I feel like there are a lot in Bergen county but the only one I remember is Emerson.

I agree with @nevets88 , get out to Bethpage.   I had a great time when I went.   if you want to take a weekend, go play Montauk Downs.   I've heard it's an experience but I never made it out there.

Manhattan is also dotted with a whole bunch of indoor studios with launch monitors. Like Hack Shack or Five Iron. Would definitely find a game in places like that. 

Here is Five Iron’s page on its league. By the very nature of location in Manhattan more likely golfers are single. Or at least based in Manhattan.

I'm in Poughkeepsie if you're ever interested in playing. or trying to get a group together. Play mostly at Baird, but open to whatever. July kinda tight, August opens up for me. I don't mind driving a bit too, if we had others interested.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
