New York Car Rentals and Golf in New York City Overview

New York City has golf courses scattered throughout the boroughs for you to explore with your New York car rental. The public golf courses have lush fairways, contrasted with the brink and concrete of the city. Exploring these courses with your New York car rental can be fun and a challenge.

Breaking the rumors

For many years, the golf courses of New York City and the surrounding neighborhoods have long been ridiculed. To enjoy a good round of golf, you would have to make you way out to the Hamptons or another area a bit further away with your New York car rental. Back in those days, there were stolen cars dumped on fairways, cement-like tee boxes, burned out greens, sand traps without sand, and club houses that were falling apart. This has changed in the last couple decades to make golfing in New York a pleasurable experience. There are now eight golf courses operated by the American Golf Corporation, one of the largest operators in the United States. They operate Silver Lake, LaTourette and South Shore on Staten Island; Dyker Beach in Brooklyn; Clearview in Queens; Van Cortlandt and Pelham/Split Rock in the Bronx. These are great courses to get started with when you want to golf with your New York car rental.

Golf Long Island

The great thing about having a New York car rental is that you can also try to get some golf in on Long Island. Long Island has had some of the best courses in the area since the 19th century. These courses were at the center of a revolution in the design of golf courses due to the temperate climate and the amount of real estate available. Visiting some of these world-class courses is a great way to experience golf in a unique way that you may otherwise not have the chance to do with your New York car rental.
