Review
“Ferry Point’s most distinctive feature is its backdrop of the New York City skyline. I have played the course more than half a dozen times since its opening, and unfortunately, the holes themselves lack memorability and strategic interest. While I would recommend a visit for the unique setting, the overall design offers little beyond that."

“A very nice round of golf, but I would have loved to see what could have been if built differently. While it plays along water and looks like a links course, it simply does not play like one. The ground has little impact on how you play any shot."

“A good public course built on and old landfill."

“Great public course for the greater NYC area. If you are a little wild, bring extra golfs balls due to all the fescue."

“Solid, well conditioned course with great views. Nicklaus should have been able to do more with this blank canvas and huge budget. Let me say that I expected more."

“Pure links golf and pure fun all the way around. Hit it and go find, but try to stay in position."

“Easily one of the best public courses in New York State, Trump Ferry Point is an excellent links course located in the Bronx and features dramatic views of The East River and Manhattan Skyline. With wind always in play, this is a challenging course with fescue lining the majority of holes. While not cheap, this is well-worth a play to visitors of New York."

“Gets a bump for the views of the NYC skyline and the nearby bridges, but the course itself is just ok."

Review
“Stunning views of the city and neighboring bridges are seen throughout the course. The course plays very difficult if you are having trouble off the tees. The long fescue that borders the fairways is very penal. Can't be the proximity to the city, but the greens fees may be a little out of place in the area it is located. The main clubhouse was not finished during my visit, but it looks like it will add a lot of value and service to the course."
