Description

Specialties

We were founded over a century ago as one of the first public golf courses in the US, we have enjoyed a renaissance in recent years with the complete reconstruction of its 9 hole layout. Among the best conditioned municipal courses in the area, its rolling fairways and contoured greens provide the perfect golf experience for both beginners and experts alike, with a friendly atmosphere where you can bring the entire family.

Our 20,000 square foot putting green, chipping area and driving range also provide a place to warm up before you tee off, or to hone your skills for your next time out on the links. In addition, it is the most convenient golf course to get to for residents of Manhattan, Bronx and lower Westchester — located just steps from the Woodlawn stop of the 4 Train and just a few hundred yards from Exit 13 off the Major Deegan Expressway. Come join us to experience a round at Mosholu today!

First and foremost the staff is super helpful. Secondly it’s very easy to get to from the train. 3rd super cheap and easy to walk. Not the hardest course in the world but a solid challenge.

Headline: Good for beginners. Short and fairways in good shape; greens in surprisingly great shape. Friendly and helpful service. Good price point.
BUT…it’s a BIG BUT (and I can not lie)… the pace of play was horrendous on a weekend morning. By 930am they were already 30 mins behind. In two hours we finished 6 holes. This is what you get with lots of kids and beginners so be forewarned if you are a serious golfer.

Mosholu golf course is a 9 hole course located off of the 233rd street exit of 87 north. It’s in excellent condition with fabulous greens, that are rare to observe on NYC public courses. The staff are extremely helpful and accommodating. Anytime you get a chance you must give it a try.

Possibly one of the most poorly managed courses in the try-​state area, epitomizing the waste of government employees. There is no management at the course — of the driving range or of the course– no one is managing when people tee off or the pace of play on the course There is typically one 100 year old ranger and he doesn’t do anything– he isn’t watching to make sure the players are moving. You have to call to get a ranger to come out– unlike for example Sterling in Stamford, where multiple rangers make sure people are moving and not holding up gaggles of players. Here you can wait 10 minutes to tee off between holes as people just putz around. It full of bad golfers run amok– no one cares abut the pace of play or the rules. and the sand traps are infested with bees and nothing was done about it. I’ve had to walk off 2x because of excruciatingly slow players ahead of me.

A group of us went up to Mosholu this past weekend and everyone was very impressed by the course which is really very pretty and serene for being so close to the city. As beginners, we really appreciated the driving range and practice areas, and the shorter par-​3 holes were good confidence builders. There are some interesting par-4’s as well but honestly it was all challenging for us. My only other golf course experience was at a very fancy private club (company event), and having seen the other end of the spectrum, I think Mosholu is great for an easily accessible option. Course is short enough that most people are walking and the holes all end right at the beginning of the next one. Very chill vibe, we had a ton of fun despite being terrible! Would definitely recommend for beginning/​intermediate players.

For a public nine-​hole course, not bad. Not bad at all.
It seemed pretty well maintained, and the greens were all in solid condition. I went for a twilight special, so it was not even too crowded. The group ahead of us was slow, but not to the point of ruining the experience.
Better condition than Van Cortlandt.
It’s pretty short so you don’t even really need a cart. For someone who is really great this might be a bit too easy but was a nice ego boost for me, at times.
Price is reasonable as well.

this place is underrated!!! 9 holes for $ 13 including parking, if you drive there? amazing deal. mention that you caddy, and you’ll get a discount! you might need to show proof, so bring your lucky towel! hahaa.
when i first heard that there was a golf course in the bronx, i was thinking «it must be ghetto!» my reaction was the complete opposite! the grass, as green as it gets; the bunkers were in better shape than where i work. and the greens were not bad at all. i actually underestimated them, BIG MISTAKE
there’s a lot of history to this course. it’s actually one of the first public courses in the country! i was playing with one of my caddy friends and there was a single behind us, so we invited him to join us. met someone new, and cool is def a plus.
i like the sayings that are at each tee box. i forgot exactly what one of them said, but it inspired me to achieve a birdie… BUT I MISSED A PUT! i settled for the par lol
always remember to rake the bunkers after you go in them!
keep this course beautiful

I used to come here once a week for their twilight specials so I know this course well. Nothing really stands out except maybe for one elevated tee. You knew you’re on a public course when you play here. My best shot was on the second hole, got it withing 2 feet of the cup. Then it started to rain.
It’s a really low key place, no rangers on your back. You just come out and play.

As the previous reviewers have pointed out, its a 9holer. But the course is interesting. 1st hole is a blind tee shot up a hill, to a green that drops dramatically from 200 yards out. hole 2 is a par 3 that, when from the blue tees, is a tough shot, a big draw into a back to front sloping green. (I will leave the hole by hole reviews alone for now) Greens are not very good, but there is a putting green for practice and a driving range, which I think is great. Almost every other public course, doesn’t have a range. I highly recommend new players to get your feet wet in golf (rules-​pace-​play) at this course, before going to an 18 hole course. The cafeteria is all your gonna need, a cute little pro-​shop and very friendly staffers. So, if you play this course, dont compare it to a championship track. You can really appreciate it for what it is.

Cute little golf course, only 9 holes, but very thin and narrow.
The green isn’t that great, their holes aren’t super clean, and you can tell some people destroyed the grass and didn’t patch it back up.
But many kids at the driving range and out with their parents playing holes. Some kids are really good though, I had one girl who was 11 join us and she I swear is the next Tiger Woods and making par and it was her first time out there playing a whole course!
The bathroom is clean in the place, and there are also lockers inside.
The cafeteria food was good, typical hot dog chicken finger place, but the lady (I think her name was Tara) was extremely kind and made sure we got everything we needed. Don’t forget her tip box!
And I bought a Groupon for this place, 18 holes they said, so I’m thinking 18 holes, but it was 9 holes repeated. Groupon you tricked me! But it was good knowing the holes again and playing them.
