New York Golf Courses : Richmond County
The 16th century Florentine explorer Giovanni Da Verrazano is commonly considered to be father of Staten Island (Richmond County) because he sailed into New York Harbor in 1524 and landed on the Island. In 1687 the Duke of York offered the island as a prize in a sailing competition which the team from Manhattan won. Since that time, Manhattan has claimed the island as its own. Until 1713, when the first public ferry was started to the island, there was no way to get back and forth unless you had a boat. Finally, in 1964 the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge was built by Othmar Amman. The bridge made it relatively easy to travel back and forth. From the meeting of Lord Howe, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin to the British occupation or the solid defense of the harbor during the Civil War, Staten Island is a place steeped in the annals of history. Great men have inhabited the island. Vanderbilt grew up on the island and Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson both spent much time on the island. They praised the beauty of the landscape, calling Staten Island a little piece of the country in the city. Let’s see the New York golf courses in Richmond County.

New York Golf Courses Comments:
Getting to this course is half the fun. Hop on the Staten Island Ferry from Lower Manhattan and check out the Statue of Liberty en route, or cruise over the Verrazano Narrows Bridge from Brooklyn. This design includes open, rolling fairways, bunkered greens and countless trees. The elevated tee on hole 14, a 354-yard, par 4, offers a sweeping view of the course and the clubhouse, which is an 1836 Greek Revival building.

New York Golf Courses Comments:
This scenic course was built on hilly terrain and has wide-open fairways. The large greens are fast and well bunkered. There is a creek that flows throughout this picturesque course which comes into play on two holes. Putting can be confusing here because all your putts will break toward the ocean, even when the green is slanting the opposite way.

This course was built on hilly terrain and was cut out of the woods. It is a very scenic and picturesque course. The fairways are narrow, and the large greens are fast.
