Flushing Meadows Pitch & Putt Golf Course

Flushing Meadows Pitch & Putt occupies a compact parcel within Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, one of New York City's largest public parks. The park itself gained international recognition as the site of the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs, and the pitch and putt course serves as a modest recreational amenity within this historic urban landscape. The facility operates as a municipal course accessible to city residents and visitors seeking a brief golf experience without the time or expense commitment of a regulation layout. The course features nine short holes designed for pitch shots and putting, with distances typically ranging from approximately 60 to 120 yards. The routing makes use of relatively flat terrain characteristic of the park's reclaimed fairgrounds topography. Mature trees from the park's mid-century plantings provide some definition between holes, while the surrounding urban environment remains visible throughout play. The layout emphasizes accuracy and short-game skills rather than length or strategic complexity. As a municipal facility in one of the world's most densely populated urban areas, Flushing Meadows Pitch & Putt serves primarily as an introductory venue for beginners, a practice facility for experienced players working on their short game, and a convenient option for casual rounds. The course operates within the broader context of New York City's public golf infrastructure, offering an accessible entry point to the game in a borough with limited golf facilities relative to its population.
