The Van Cortlandt Golf course is a unique stop with your car rental in New York City because it was the nation's first public golf course when it opened in 1895. Today, it remains a public golf course which visitors to the area are free to use.

The historic course

The Clubhouse was built in 1902 and is found on the lake. Here you will find the equipment rentals, lockers, and a place to pick up a quick snack before heading out with your car rental in New York City.

Golfing here

This course has two of the longest par fives in the city. The course was originally developed by a group of wealthy men that hoped the course would change to a private course, but today it is a hilly yet challenging course for you to try while you are visiting with your car rental in New York City. In recent years there have been over four million dollars worth of improvements to this course, including 20 new tee boxes, 13 new bunkers, two lakes, and re-design of some of the fairways and rough.

Many people enjoy playing on this course. It is a challenge and every hole is unique. Every golfer is able to take something away from their game here, no matter what skill level you play at. Holes numbered 2 and 12 are especially a challenge for even experience golfers. They are 625 and 605 yards respectively!
