Course Overview
Hey there, fellow golf enthusiasts! If you’re on the hunt for a golfing experience that blends historical charm with a top-notch course, you’ve got to swing by La Tourette Golf Course in Staten Island, NYC. Nestled on the grounds of the historical La Tourette family estate from the 1830s, this course has been a local favorite since it first opened its greens in 1928.
La Tourette isn’t just about history though; it’s a golfer’s playground, boasting 18 holes across 6,700 yards of beautifully maintained land. Take the 3rd hole, for instance—it’s a sneaky par-4 with a dogleg to the right that really makes you prioritize precision over power. And if you’re looking for a bit of thrill, the 15th hole is a par-5 that offers a classic risk-reward scenario with a creek daring you to go big or go home.
For those hitting La Tourette for the first time, remember to focus on keeping the ball in play. The narrow fairways and strategic doglegs can be tricky, but they’re a whole lot of fun once you get the hang of them.
So, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting into the game, La Tourette offers a slice of New York City’s golfing history with every shot. Can’t wait to see you on the greens!
