Mosholu is such a hidden 💎, especially when the greens start rolling in the summer. For only 20$ for 9 this place is an absolute steal for the price.
The greens on the short par 3s are pretty beaten up with pitch marks (nobody fixes them apparently) but the other greens (especially the mini biarritz 9th) are awesome.
The course design is super walkable and has a handful of fun greens and fairways, a great beginner spot but for more experienced players you could find it overly easy and annoyingly forgiving.
The new second hole, driving range, and clubhouse are going to be awesome and the practice facilities hear are going to be top notch for public NYC area.
Overall I give Mosholu these ratings
Price- 10/10
Design- 3.5/10
Condition- 7.1/10
Pace of play- 6.3/10
Convenience-8.9/10
Overall-8.6/10

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.

This is well maintained 9 hole course - closes enough to the city. The ranger is very friendly and professional. Perfect for the golfers who are looking for fun and family/friend outing. The price is reasonable and you can find everything you want from playing golf!

This course have had major changes done over the past years. Good place to work on your iron game and woods. They now have areas to work on bunker shots. Course in good shape. This is where I will start going back again. Everyone is friendly, Carlos very kool guy.
