Overview
About 70 miles north of New York City along the Taconic Parkway, architect Stephen Kay created The Links at Union Vale for a group of Irish investors who were frustrated with how difficult it was to find a tee time in the NYC area. Kay, a Queens native, built the course on 200 acres of former cattle and farmland with a meager $600,000 budget. The 18-hole layout is yet another fun public option in the New York area from Kay, who might not get as much credit as some of his contemporaries, but is undoubtedly deserving of accolades for creating courses that are fun yet interesting to navigate for every level of golfer. —Stephen Hennessey, dep. managing editor

Review
“The Links at Unionvale is a solid public offering from Stephen Kay and Doug Smith that opened in 2000. Set in the rural hillsides about an hour north of NYC, this course features a lot of quirky holes and plenty of fescue. This fescue is perhaps too penal for the masses, and the course is not a true links, as many of its holes require aerial attacks and the course usually isn't windy. Regardless, this is one of the better public options in the greater NYC area and is worth a play."
