Pelham Golf Course Bronx Ny

Pelham Golf Course is a golf course located in the Bronx of New York City, in a park known as Pelham Bay Park. The course opened in 1896 and is a nine hole course that features 3,360 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 36. Designed by architect Tom Bendelow, the original 18-hole course was downsized and reconstructed in the mid-twentieth century. The course is managed by the New York City Parks Department, and it is one of six public courses in the city. The Pelham Golf Course is known for its beautiful greens and scenic views over Long Island Sound, with generously sized greens and a variety of bunkers and water hazards. The course is open all year around, and it is known for its reasonable prices, with discounts available to both seniors and juniors. The course is especially popular with locals, as it is easily accessible and offers a sense of nature and recreational activity in the hectic city. While the course does not feature any big or impressive backdrops as some of the golf courses outside of the city do, it is appreciated for its tranquil, natural atmosphere and its strategic approach of shots. It is not a very challenging course for more experienced golfers, but newer players will find the small size of the course perfect for practicing the fundamentals. Weather permitting, the course is always ready for guests looking for a peaceful round of golf.
