Top 10 Golf Courses in New York, United States

May 4, 2022 Natalie Tallman

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Bethpage Black

In operation since 1935, this public course is so well-regarded that it was chosen as the site of the 2002 U.S. Open Championship.

This was my second time playing the Black course and we ran into a predicament. We needed to play on a Friday in September early in the morning so we could make it back into the city for Billy Joel. After racking my brain on how I would get a 4 ball without paying a tour company $700 I came up with a plan. I went online and rented a RV from a local Bethpage resident, Doug. Doug usually has a two day minimum but we worked a deal that was fair for both sides as he just had to drive it , park it, and pick it up the next day. Doug was an absolute beauty to work with and the RV had everything we needed - private room with large double bed - pull out double bed - slide together twin bed - bathroom (small extra charge) - tv (he’s getting a better one) - generator - outside grill, tables, chairs - fridge and freezer There were so many things and it was perfect for three guys. Four guys would have been doable but luckily we had one guy who stayed at a hotel. We were able to have Doug park the unit at 2pm we did a walk thru. Doug left and we went for a bite to eat and watch football in downtown Farmingdale. We came back about 7pm and the neighbours had a 65 foot screen and satellite for the game but no generator. We plugged into the RV and had a great night. Everyone was wishing they had a Doug especially when they started crawling into their vehicles to sleep or tents. There was 10 vehicles when we went to sleep. We woke up at 5am to get ready for the ranger to give a bracelet. There was now over 60 cars in the lot!!!!!! Wow!!! My word of advice is once you get your bracelet go to the clubhouse doors and wait for your number to be called as we almost missed it. Private message me for Doug’s info if you want to stay overnight at Bethpage like a rockstar and almost guarantee a wicked tee time. I will be doing this again!

Thunderhart Golf Course

Reviewed By christopherbP323UU - Nashville, United States

My wife and I visited Thunderhart several times this summer and we always have a wonderful time! Golf - well maintained golf course with terrific views on every hole, challenging and playable for all levels. Good availability of tee times and a great pace of play. Rooms - the rooms are very clean and well maintained with nice views of the Catskill mountains. We enjoyed swimming in the pool after a round of golf. Location - we explored several areas during our visits (Woodstock, Greenville, Phoenecia, Hunter, Windham) and found this to be an excellent "home base" with scenic drives to our destinations. Plenty of great restaurants nearby. Staff - the staff is what makes this place! The girls in the cafe always offer up a great breakfast with friendly conversation. The pro shop staff are always friendly and accommodating. I must say - Kevin makes the place! He treats everyone like family and is always on top of everything we need, often going above and beyond! Thunderhart is our secret gem of a getaway that always makes us feel at home!

Reviewed By janniemaeb - Buffalo, United States

This course tests the skill of even the low handicap golfers. There is enough intrigue to keep you interested...it boasts wide fairways....plenty of room to avoid creeks, trees and hazards. The greens are deceiving and challenging to read......which all adds to the fun! The restaurant is most accommodating, serving very good food for reasonable prices......
