While Manhattan is far from being considered the golf capital of the world, there are ample opportunities to hit the driving range or play 18 holes within a few miles of Manhattan. Here are some suggestions:
The
Golf Club at Chelsea Piers offers features simulator play, a golf academy, plans golf getaways and parties, offers junior golf programs, and has a decent driving range that gives you the feeling you're driving balls into the Hudson River. It's conveniently located at Pier 59 (West 18th Street) and the Hudson River. While in Manhattan, a great place to shop for your drivers, irons, accessories and apparel is at the
New York Golf Center, located close to Macy's at 131 West 35th Street, between Broadway and Seventh Avenue. Or looking for some lessons from an experienced pro? Check out the
Golf Studio, which features attractive prices and a variety of packages.
A bit farther afield and just east of mid-Manhattan, you'll find the
Randall's Island Golf Center, with an 80-station driving range, two 18-hole miniature golf courses, and a 9-station batting cage.
Or you might choose to head further out to eastern Queens, where a number of opportunities await you: The
Flushing Meadows Golf Center features a very popular 18 hole par three golf course located near Citi Field (Mets Stadium). The 18-hole, 6,000 yard
Forest Park Golf Course is considered one of the best NYC golf courses. You can
book tee times online or phone (718) 296-0999. Located just off the Jackie Robinson Parkway at 101 Forest Park Drive, in Woodhaven, NY.
The
Douglaston Golf Course, par 67, offers five challenging 3-par holes. Located where the Cross Island, LIE, and Grand Central converge, the course has great views of the Manhattan skyline on a clear day. Call (718) 224-6566 to book tee times. It's located at 6320 Marathon Parkway, Douglaston, NY.
Eight New York City golf courses operated by American Golf—three in the Bronx, three on Staten Island, and one each in Queens and Brooklyn—are very popular spots. All can be booked directly through
NYCTeeTimes. They are:
