Bally's Golf Links at Ferry Point

About this course
Bally's Golf Links at Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point, a modern creation sculpted into the Bronx's coastal landscape, stands as a testament to ambition realized against the backdrop of the New York City skyline. The Arthur Jack Snyder design, completed with the Trump Organization's vision, presents a links-style experience markedly different from the region's established parkland courses. The course, carved from a former landfill, offers dramatic undulations and meticulously crafted fescue grasses, emulating the feel of a seaside links. It favors players who can navigate the wind and strategically manage their game, with wide fairways often offset by penal bunkering and challenging green complexes. While visually striking, Ferry Point's manufactured terrain lacks the historical gravitas found in many of the Northeast's storied clubs. Despite lacking a championship pedigree, Bally's Golf Links at Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point offers public access to a high-end golfing experience rarely found so close to a major metropolitan center. The course, perhaps more than most, is a reminder that golf can exist even within the most challenging of urban environments, offering stunning views alongside a demanding layout.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point begin at one of New York's three major airports - LaGuardia sits just eight miles west, Newark Liberty roughly twenty miles southwest, and JFK fifteen miles south - making this among the most accessible championship-caliber layouts in the country. Private aviation typically routes through Teterboro in New Jersey or Westchester County Airport to the north, both under thirty minutes by car. The final approach crosses the Whitestone Bridge or threads through the Bronx's urban grid, then suddenly opens onto a windswept peninsula where Whitestone Bridge towers overhead and the East River frames nearly every hole - a startling transition from city density to links-style expanse that feels far more remote than its coordinates suggest.
