Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in the Bronx, NY, is a New York City Parks-owned golf course. This beautiful 18-hole course designed by Jack Nicholas is easily accessible from I-95 and is the best public course I’ve played in the NY/NJ region.
The fairways are impeccable, the greens beautifully manicured. The views of the Whitestone Bridge and parts of downtown New York City are captivating. The practice facility is high-end with pyramid-stacked Taylor Made golf balls on the range for your unlimited usage.
I absolutely loved the Waterfront Restaurant. The food was amazing (but pricey). The course has a links style design and is not a typical Jack Nicholas design — which is usually target golf. Trump Golf Links is the opposite. The fairways are wide and numerous pot bunkers and dense fescue line the course. If it’s a windy day the wind coming off the East River can be challenging. Overall it’s a fair course with a mix of difficult and easy playable holes.
The green fees are expensive. NYC residents: Monday thu Thursday, $171; weekends $205. Non-residents: Monday thru Thursday, $229; weekends $262. Cart fees are $38 per rider. There are discounts for twilight or sunset play and seniors, juniors, and military receive a slightly discounted rate.
I enjoyed my round at Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point. Without wading into politics the money goes to the City of New York Parks Department so you’re contributing to keeping a great public course available for municipal players to play.
