Westchester & Hudson Valley Golf Courses & Tee Times in New Jersey

This market runs from the Bronx line up through Westchester and Rockland, with Bergen County, Putnam and Norwalk on the edges. Public golf here is mostly government golf. Pelham Bay Park had an 18-hole course by 1911, and Robert Moses added Split Rock in the late 1930s; Revolutionary War stone walls from the Pell's Point fight still stand on it. Westchester County took over Maple Moor in 1925 and had all 18 holes open by the end of 1927, and Saxon Woods opened to the public in 1931. Both are Tom Winton designs. Across the river, Rockland Lake State Park's main course is a 1969 David W. Gordon layout.

Cut through hardwoods in the Ramapo foothills: tight drives to big greens, and a downhill 9th that's a 507-yard par 5, or a 493-yard par 4 from the tips.

Teaneck

Overpeck Golf Course

Water on every front-nine hole, Overpeck Creek across four of them, then a big lake on most of the last seven. And the Meadowlands wind never quits.

Why tee times in Westchester & Hudson Valley are hard to get

Golf in Westchester & Hudson Valley follows the seasons: spring openers and fall weekends are the busiest stretches, and summer mornings fill before afternoons.

Most public courses open their tee sheet a set number of days ahead, often 7 to 14, and many municipal courses give residents or card holders an earlier window. The best weekend-morning times usually go the day they're released. Leagues and outings take blocks of the sheet before the public ever sees them.

When tee time cancellations happen

A full tee sheet rarely stays full. Many courses let you cancel without a fee up to 24 or 48 hours before your time, so spots tend to reappear in the last couple of days. A bad forecast shakes more loose, and a foursome that drops to three opens a single. None of it is announced. The time just shows up again on the booking page, and whoever looks first gets it.

Doing it by hand? Here's what works.

  1. Know the booking window. Find out how many days ahead each course releases times, and whether residents get an earlier window. Be ready the morning it opens.
  2. Look again 24 to 48 hours out. That's when most cancellation deadlines pass and spots come back.
  3. Be flexible on group size. Singles and twosomes fit into gaps a foursome can't.
  4. Try twilight and weekday afternoons. They're the last to fill and often cheaper.
  5. Widen the map. If your first choice is full, check the next town over. Mahwah has 1 courses on Yoink and Teaneck has 1.
