Where is the only lighted golf course in NYC?
The 990-yard par 54 is located inside Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens next to Shea Stadium and the United States Tennis Center in Flushing. This truly is a "Pitch & Putt".#N#Golf Advisor reviewer CaddyShacked: "This place is great for hanging out with your buddies, beginners, experienced players and family. If you're looking for something spectacular or your country club field, this is not for you. I'm from NYC (and) to have this in my back yard is amazing. The price sucks. It is very expensive. The best thing (though) is the cheap beers and you can play at night being that it has stadium lights all over. Last tee time is 11 p.m. So if you have a argument with the wife and need a hour or two to yourself at night, this is the place to be. I like the trees, the bunkers, all the obstacles."
