Van Cortlandt Golf Course

Van Cortlandt Golf Course, sometimes known as Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course and frequently called Vanny or Vannie is one of New York City's municipal golf courses and the oldest public golf course in the United States. The course is a part of Van Cortlandt Park and is adjacent in some spots to the nearby Mosholu Golf Course.

The course was established in 1895 as a nine-hole course and expanded to eighteen holes in 1899.[1] The clubhouse dates to 1902 and its locker room was part of the film Wall Street.[2][3][4]
