Member Knowledge:

Van Cortlandt is rumored to be the first public golf course ever, with legends like Babe Ruth and even the Three Stooges having played here. If you’re in NYC and need to scratch the golf itch, you can take the subway straight to the course. Playing here feels like stepping back in time — and they still have Babe Ruth’s and the Stooges’ lockers on display in the pro shop, which alone is worth the visit.
