It dropped a little, 2-3% fewer rounds played according to my quick in the head  calculation. 26-27K rounds. It's a high green fee course, would be interesting to see comparisons to similar courses in Westchester. Doesn't a typical course get 45K rounds? The NYC munis I read get over 100K rounds. And I don't agree with the weather assessment of course representative. 2016, not a rainy summer, mild winter.

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

I'm nearby and have yet to play there, it's certainly not about politics, would love to go but the price is just too much, it's a top course so the cost is justified but can't do it, maybe for a special day.

$175 = 1 round of golf for an NYC resident at Ferry Point

$175 = 5.5 rounds of golf at Van Cortlandt.

Not IMO. The course is well maintained, and has a good practice facility, but it's hardly a top course, even for the area. It's pretty monotonous, and the views are below average for most of the round. Bethpage Black is a much better value, especially for NYS residents. $80 on weekends.

$50 to practice on the range and it's mats only. Just... No...

I'm complaining because I'm living in an area where practice facilities for the normal person is just abominable.

I imagine it's to discourage people from coming to the course just to practice.  It probably isn't $50 for range balls if you're playing.

That's true. Apparently, it's not uncommon for mats only. And for some reason, in the NYC area, most public ranges that have grass have it on weekends only.

So pull carts are out because it is a "bad look", but practice carpet is ok. Go figure. 

NYC is an interesting place to visit, but I sure wouldn't want to live there.

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
