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.

I believe this topic has been discussed at length but golf transcends politics.

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.

I have to say, I prefer my courses where golf carts are NOT allowed on greens.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.

      7 Wood

      By ZenShot ·

      I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
