I am going on a week long holiday with my fiance to New York (11th to 17th Nov). As part of the planning process I looked into the possibility of getting in a round of golf.
The obvious answer seems to be bethpage park - which has 5 courses.
I would like some local knowledge on whether this is a runner.
I know if someone asked a question like this on visiting Dublin (or anywhere in Ireland) I could easily point them in the right direction - numerous brilliant options.
The factors for me are
1. I'll need to rent clubs
2. Play on my own, my fiance might "caddy" for me.
3. Will it be too cold?
4. Getting there by train
5. I'm a beginner (breaking 100, but not breaking 90 "yet"), will that be okay.
So I'm looking for a fairly relaxed type of set up that would be friendly and not too serious. I'm getting addicted to the game and I believe this would be a serious high for me to play on a course in a foreign country. I'v only played about 5 courses in Ireland so far (I'm only at it a few months)
Maybe some of you USA guys may have some good suggestion for me.
Thanks.
