Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there good public golf courses in Westchester County, or is it mostly exclusive private clubs?

While Westchester is famous for its private gems, you'll find some truly excellent public tracks that hold their own. We love the challenging layout at Mohansic Golf Course and the classic parkland feel of Sprain Lake Golf Course- both offer fantastic value and a proper test of your game.

When is the ideal time to visit Westchester County for the best golf conditions?

We always recommend late spring through early fall for prime conditions. May and June offer lush fairways and comfortable temperatures, while September and October bring stunning fall foliage and crisp air- just be prepared for potentially busier tee sheets on weekends.

What's the typical cost for a round of golf in Westchester County?

Expect a range, but public green fees generally run from $60-120, depending on the course and time of day. For the truly exceptional private courses, you'll need an invitation or a reciprocal membership, which is a different ballgame entirely.

What kind of golf experience should I expect from Westchester's courses- are they mostly hilly or flat, traditional or modern?

You'll encounter a fantastic mix, but many Westchester courses feature rolling terrain, mature tree-lined fairways, and classic parkland designs that demand accuracy. Don't expect many links-style layouts here; instead, prepare for strategic shot-making and often elevated greens.

How easy is it to get to and around Westchester County for a golf trip, especially if I'm coming from New York City?

Getting to Westchester from NYC is a breeze via Metro-North Railroad, but once you're here, a car is essential for maximizing your golf options. Public transport between courses is limited, so plan on renting a vehicle to easily access the diverse layouts spread across the county.
