I went golfing for the first time, and let’s just say… my swing needs some serious work. But what I lacked in skill, I made up for in laughs and thankfully, my wife was right there with me for the ride (literally). We spent the day at Mosholu Golf Course, a great spot for beginners, and even though I wasn’t exactly Tiger Woods out there, I had a blast. My wife didn’t play, but she drove me around in the golf cart like a pro. Honestly, that was half the fun we joked around the whole time, and she laughed every time I sent the ball flying in the wrong direction… or barely moved it at all. Some of my swings were so bad, even the trees flinched. Still, the whole experience was a good time. The weather was perfect, the course was peaceful, and we enjoyed just being out there together. I may not be a golf star yet, but I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat especially with her by my side.

Maybe I'm being overly critical but I found the course to be unpleasant. The people working were lovely but I signed up to play early on a Friday afternoon. I think 9 holes would have taken 3.75 hours had I not left early. The golfers I saw were very inexperienced, very slow, no concept of pace of play and there wasn't anyone on the course doing anything about it to move people along. I waited 15 minutes at the third hole for two people to finish who were less than 60 yards from the pin. One was giving the other a "lesson" meanwhile there were 4 groups waiting at the tee box. I'm no great golfer but even as I was learning, the rules of golf etiquette were instilled in me. This was not happening at all. With the course being so close, I'm incredibly disappointed as I thought this would be a place I could frequent as a quick fix for the days I don't have time to play 18 and that was not the case. Also, the signage for the walking path is embarrassing. The path from the train is so nice and so easy IF YOU KNOW where you are going. If it's your first time Google Maps will send you the long way around which is like 30 min. Using the driving directions was actually better. Better signage and course mgmt would a long way in my opinion. Unless that improves, I don't see myself going back any time soon.

Green’s were in such nice shape. Weather was a plus. Worth the experience!

This review goes against my better judgement. I rather not let people in on this secret gem creating more tee time pressure. I find the courses significant nicer than van Cortland or any other course including Saxon woods even though its 9 holes. The greens arw fast and true. The fairways are well maintained. For a 9 hole course, tremendous amount of different holes. Enjoy the finishing hole, it's a real challenge.... a great par 3 This is the best course for beginners and kids as well with the different tee boxes and options Just be prepared for a lot of beginners and have patience

Mosholu Golf Course is a hidden gem in the Bronx. Whether you’re a beginner or just looking to get in a quick 9 holes, this course delivers a surprisingly enjoyable experience. The layout is short but challenging enough to keep it fun, with well-maintained fairways and greens that play better than you’d expect for a public city course. The staff is always friendly, the pace of play is usually great, and the setting—nestled right next to Van Cortlandt Park—makes you feel like you’re miles from the city. Their driving range and practice facilities are top-notch for the area, and it’s a perfect spot to work on your game without breaking the bank. Definitely one of the best values for golf in NYC.
