Few public golf courses in New York City carry the history and civic importance of Marine Park. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1964, it stands as one of the longest and most serious tests of golf available to everyday players in the five boroughs — a rare municipal layout that genuinely challenges scratch golfers while remaining open to anyone willing to show up and tee it up.
The course sits within Marine Park, Brooklyn's largest public park, bordered by salt marshes and tidal wetlands that feed into Jamaica Bay. That setting gives the course a feel unlike anything else in the city — open skies, coastal breezes, and a landscape that reads more like the Jersey Shore than the urban density a few miles to the north. Wind is a constant factor here and changes the character of the round dramatically depending on the day.
For New Yorkers, Marine Park occupies a particular place in the borough's golf culture. It has long served as a serious home track for competitive Brooklyn players, and its accessibility by public transit makes it a genuine community asset in a city where affordable golf is harder to find than most would like.
