Around New York City
New York City and its surrounds may not seem like a place for golf, but the fact is that hundreds and thousands of rounds are played annually at its public golf courses. The Black Course at Bethpage State Park in Long Island is a very challenging course flocked by skilled golfers and the woodland surroundings are tranquil enough to help you focus on your game. Pound Ridge boasts thoughtfully designed holes and a landscape of woodlands, wetlands and exposed rock full of beauty and drama.
