I recently moved to NYC ( close to lower east side). I am looking for some decent golf courses around the area that are accessible by subway. Can any one help ? :)

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.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

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?

      You're welcome to come on my lawn with any take you want, as long as you have facts that support your position. If you come on my lawn spewing nonsense and don't back it up with facts then yeah I'm going to turn into the grumpy old man and tell you to get off my lawn.   What facts do you have that support your claim that this isn't the toughest test of golf in the month of June?

      Is it Important to Hit Real Golf Balls When Practicing Swing?

      By GolfLug ·

      As someone who does this regularly (hitting wiffle balls indoors), I say yes but YMMV. A lot. I mean, it is better than sitting on the couch for sure. I look at as a bit of exercise that I enjoy than other forms of exercise. Just don't get seduced by how how well you are hitting it at home or in the backyard or the 'whoosh' of your air swings and think you have made actual improvement. Use video to monitor what you are doing. Air swings are practically useless.      +10

      Is it Important to Hit Real Golf Balls When Practicing Swing?

      By klineka ·

      I've made quite a bit of progress on my swing by hitting the "almost" golf balls in my garage over the winter. I can and do hit regular balls too but it can be a bit loud so often I just hit the foam balls into my impact screen.   I think plastic, foam, etc are better than no ball for sure.

      Is there a list of “takes that can just go away” somewhere on the site so I can avoid getting on your lawn going forward?  And if bolding and capitalizing a word isn’t yelling, try sending an email with a topic you don’t agree on to your boss, or his/her boss with a key word bolded and capitalized and see how that plays.  Have a good one buddy.

      Depends on the focus of your training. Feedback is a huge part of learning. If you do not know what you did wrong, then change is slow to non-existent. There is something to be said for repetitions, and bulk for reps. You want to be making reasonably good swings to ingrain decent habits. Let's say you want to turn more, then turning more is good practice. Doing a lot of that will help. Let's say you want to change your swing path from being across the line at A4 to flatter at A4. Then that still takes reps, but you will need feedback to know if you are even making the movement. Maybe you set up a rig that makes it so your club will bump into something if it crosses the line at A4. From rep to rep, you know what is good and bad.   Notice, none of these meant hitting the ball.
