NYC Metro Money


Every public price that matters in the metro, in one place, from the state parks to the premium daily fees. Checked October 2026 against published listings and recent reporting, and labeled where a number is a range rather than a posted rate.

**Our take:** The metro splits into three public price tiers: state and county golf at $40 to $90, city golf at $40 to $75, and premium daily fee golf at $150 to $300 plus. Bethpage Black at $70 to $80 resident is the outlier that makes the whole system look sane.

## Tier 1: state, county, and city golf, roughly $40 to $90

Bethpage Black $70 weekday and $80 weekend resident, $140 and $160 non resident, twilight $44 to $100, 2025 published rates. Bethpage's other courses run below the Black. Van Cortlandt and the NYC munis run roughly $40 to $75 with twilight from the mid $20s. Westchester, Nassau, and New Jersey county courses generally sit in the $45 to $90 band for non residents at peak. Montauk Downs and Sunken Meadow price as state parks, well under the daily fees.

## Tier 2: quality daily fee golf, roughly $100 to $200

Harbor Links, Eisenhower's premium windows, Mansion Ridge, and the better New Jersey daily fees live here at peak. Dynamic pricing rules this tier, so the same tee time can move $50 by day of week. Weekday and twilight play is where this tier earns its ranking.

## Tier 3: premium public, $175 to $350

Ferry Point leads it in the city at roughly $175 resident and $230 to $265 visitor at peak in recent listings, with review reports of $270 including a cart. Bethpage's neighbor courses do not play in this tier, which is precisely Ferry Point's pricing problem and its business model.

## How to play the tiers

A metro golfer's best year mixes one Tier 3 treat a month with Tier 1 weekly golf. The cost per round guide runs the annual totals for the main patterns, and the value ranking names the specific courses.

## FAQ

**Why are some figures ranges?**

Several courses use dynamic or seasonal pricing and do not post a single rate. Ranges reflect recent published listings and reporting.
