Golf at Pelham Bay & Split Rock Golf Courses
Designed 30 years apart by two separate architects, Pelham Bay and Split Rock Golf Courses complement one another with exhilarating play and challenging hazards—including tiered greens, elevated tee shots, deep bunkers, and thick forests lining the fairways—that maintain distinct personalities, keeping each game interesting. Conveniently located near bridges connecting Long Island and New Jersey to the Bronx, the pair of courses is easily accessible from all five boroughs, the surrounding suburbs, and even Connecticut. Measuring 6,480 yards and 6,682 yards, respectively, Pelham Bay and Split Rock feature such highlights as Pelham Bay’s wide, beginner-friendly fairways and undulating greens. There’s also Split Rock’s famous “Amen Corner,” which begins with a 515-yard approach shot uphill on a par 5, followed by a 220-yard par 3 that requires golfers to hit a long iron uphill to a petite green, then the most difficult hole on the course (a 447-yard par 4 where par is something to be proud of), and concluding with a 441-yard par 4 that forces long hitters to lay-up in order to avoid a creek, leaving them with a long approach shot into a protected green. To prepare yourself for these challenges, you may want to visit Pelham Bay and Split Rock’s full-size putting and chipping green.
