La Tourette and Silver Lakes in Staten Island? Bit of a commute, but doable.

Added: I know you mentioned public transportation, but check out zipcar.com. It might be an option.

Van Cortland is at the end of the #1 train in the Bronx. It's a 5 minute walk into the park to the course.

Mosholu is a shorter 9 hole course with a good (for a muni) putting and chipping green. Take the #4 train to the end of the line in the Bronx.

Dyker Beach (Brooklyn)
R Train to 86th St. Then take the B64 Bus.

I forget which Staten Island courses are closer to the ferry, but they are pretty nice, IMHO.

You could also take the LIRR to Bethpage and take a local cab or walk.

Pretty much every muni around here takes longer to play than almost anywhere else.
Rounds that take 5-6 hours is unfortunately, quite normal.

Always good to see fellow NYers on the forum!

I play Vanny and Mosholu the most and those are probably the easiest to get to by public transportation. Only problem is - you live on the LES. I would check out the courses in Queens like Clearview or Brooklyn like Dyker beach.

A short trip on the LIRR and a short cab ride from the station would take you to my home course, it's public and plenty challenging:

Book ahead though, it's very popular.

I used to work right by Harbor Links and the rates were on the steeper side.

While browsing their web just now, I found that there is a Nike demo day where KJ Choi will be in appearance. Think I might stop by for that.

Its a par 3 course in queens. All you really need is a wedge and a putter but its open at night with lighting!

Which courses? The thing about Jersey is some courses charge more for non-residents. I know it depends on the county.

The par 3 course in Flushing - it's convenient, but you're hitting off mats and it's not in the greatest shape, but still, it's golf nearby. There's a par 3 with lighting called Heartland or something way out in Long Island. Have never been there, not sure if it's still in business. I think there's also one in Jones Beach. I like Harbour Links, but one major annoyance for me is you have to take a cart. Green fee is very expensive as well.

There's a par 3 course in Rockaway Beach area. The longest hole is about 150 yards. The one in Flushing Meadow, you do hit off mats and they get mad at you if you don't. The longest hole at Flushing Meadow is 80 yards.

I like the par 3 in Flushing Meadows.

In spite of the mats, you could always duff your tee shot a couple of yards into the grass, and take your second shot from the grass just a few yards closer to the green.

They're open really late, and the greens are very undulated.

And if you're feeling thirsty, the beer cart sells tall boy cans of beer and typically will pass you at least three times in a round.

And for the New York experience, I've smelled urine on that par 3 - some people obviously don't respect the place. Nowhere close to finding a dead body though (VC?).

I wound up going to that -- did you make it there?

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
