Grass Golf Range....NYC tri-state area.....

[jimdandy]

Im looking for a golf course/destination in the tri-state with a really great practice facility: grass range, chipping, putting.

And if you can purchase an "all day pass" for these practice areas? Saratoga National has this, but is 4 hours away.

Thanks.

Recommendations?

Unfortunately, the best maintained practice areas with a grass range and short game area are private. The ones that are open to the public are usually open only on the weekends and I would recommend calling beforehand before you go because grass ranges being open are dependent on maintenance schedules and weather.

I like Neshanic Valley (NJ) - it has a $30 all day pass for its grass range and short game area, which is decent. However, they are currently on mats due to maintenance.

Also in NJ, Howell Park , Charleston Springs (I think - call to check)

In Long Island, Pine Ridge and Hamlet Windwatch - weekends only. Windwatch has a decent short game area.

In Westchester, Centennial Springs - weekends only and expensive.

Thanks for the info. Looked into them, all good choices. Windwatch is private.

PM me if you want to know of a public range in the tristate area that doesn't charge for its grass area. The grass section is poorly maintained, but it's free.
