Dyker Beach

The Verdict

It needs a little love and investment — but you can get a tee time, and that counts for a lot in New York City golf. One of the oldest public courses in America, originally laid out in 1897 and redesigned in 1935. The Verrazzano Bridge looms over the back nine like a second sky.

What to Expect

• Historic bones — opened 1897, redesigned by Jon Van Kleek in 1935 — one of the oldest public courses in the country
• Verrazzano views — the bridge dominates the skyline, especially on the back nine
• Accessible — easier to book than the other NYC munis, especially on weekends

Logistics

Deep Brooklyn. Car is easiest. City golf reservation system. Don't expect pristine conditioning — come for the history and the views.
