There are dozens of amazing golf courses within a train, car, bus or ferry ride from the heart of Manhattan, but since many people living in the NYC area rely on their MetroCard and don’t have a car, we pulled together a list of three public golf courses that are accessible by Subway and Subway alone.

A few notes on our list: the courses are all located within a 5 minute walk or taxi ride from the Subway stop and our estimated Subway time is from Penn Station in Manhattan. Now round up some friends and plan a NYC golf getaway.
