Van Cortlandt Park

Overview

The oldest municipal course in the U.S., New York’s Van Cortlandt Park has seen it all. This Bronx landmark, the most transit-accessible public course in the Big Apple, has welcomed a rich tapestry of golfers throughout its 130-year history. Legends like Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Joe Louis, and even the Three Stooges have left their mark, while “Vanny’s” heartbeat is its mix of the famous and forgotten, players of all ages, colors, and creeds. This oasis is an urban crossroads of stories, like the city it calls home.
