Wondergiulio Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hi there! aside of Bethpage Black, which are your favorite courses around ny. i love Eisenower Red and White and Lido beach! eisenower red is just a great layout with interesting holes and previously site of an US Open, the white is a beast with difficult elevated greens that require length from the tee. lido is just great. Very underrated but has a great back 9 with water in play all over and incredible holes.

Seven Oaks at Colgate University is a great course for all to play. Saratoga State Park is another really great layout in great shape. Lake Placid’s courses are made even better by their spectacular views. 5footslider107 1 Quote Titleist TSi3 Fujikura Speeder NX Blue 60X TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Titleist U505 2 Tensei 1K Black 85 X Titleist T100 4-P Nippon Modus 3 120X PING S159 50-S 55-H 59-T DG X100 Vokey SM8 50, SM9 54 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120s L.A.B.

RickyBobby_PR Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 NY is a pretty big state and each of the areas have a good or really good courses Buffalo area has Seneca Hickory Stick, links at ivy ridge (DJ has the course record), Harvest Hill. I’m sure there another 2 or 3 slipping my mind.

Berg Ryman Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Let's go into the Southern Tier! Links at Hiawatha Landing and En-Joie are two of my faves across the state and I'll agree with @bens197 for Seven Oaks, the State HS qualifying track for Section 3. I'm also going to the Old Forge area and picking out Thendara Golf Club, front nine is a Donald Ross, back nine Russell Bailey, all 18 are great. bens197 1 Quote In a Hoofer Lite bag TSR2, 10 degrees, A1 setting, Fujikara Speeder NX Blue 50-S Stealth, 15 degrees, VA Composites Nemesys 70-S E722, 19 degrees, Oban Devotion 80-S JPX 921 Hot Metal Pro 4-P, Nippon 950GH Stiff Flex CBX Zipcore 50* (bent to *49) and RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 54* (bent to *55), DG 115 Spinner, Tour Issue Staff Model TG 60*, Dynamic Gold 120 S300 SIK Golf Flo-C Tour B-XS (2022 Model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy SAM Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I played Pelham Bay/Split Rock a bunch over the last 18 months, and have to say if it's not immediately following rain (and therefore a bit water-logged), they're beautiful and FUN courses. Cherry Creek Links on Long Island is one of the most beautiful courses (and incredibly challenging rough) I've ever played - caveat - haven't played that many "extraordinary" courses, but man was this one pretty. -Swanson Quote Driver - PXG 0811 XF - Gen 5, 9 degrees (+1 setting), Oban Devotion TR 65 04 3/5 Wood - Cobra LTDx Max (Blue Colorway) Utility - Caley X01 Driving Iron (3 = 18*) Irons (5-PW) - Caley 01T Wedges (48, 52, 56, 60) - Indi Wedges FLX 48 / ATK 52, 56, 60 Putter - L.A.B.

5footslider107 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I spent two years of college in New York and I met some great golfers there! I played an interesting course called Apple Greens in Highland, NY. It was so fun since it was inside of a functioning apple orchard! As many New Yorkers know, upstate is known for their apples and even one of the greens was shaped as an apple! Tough and challenging course but super fun! bens197 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also pretty decent are Dyker Beach (the front-9, the back gets pretty boring) and Forest Park (short but quirky in a good way). Van Cortland is over-hyped, La Tourrette may be the worst course I have ever played, and Clearview is booooring. Rickp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Strokes Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Golf Club at Middle Bay, Oceanside -public now but used to be private. very well maintained, challenging course right along the water Douglaston Golf Course -city owned public course now, used to be the course for North Hills CC, but was too short for a true country club track. well maintained, relatively cheap, and fun course with lots of blind shots.
