The directory contains 679 named golf courses and country clubs throughout New York, distributed across 585 cities and 60 counties. All entries are drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal gazetteer of named places, ensuring that every facility listed is a real, officially named location organized by geographic position.

Because the GNIS database catalogs named geographic features rather than current operating businesses, the directory represents a partial and dated snapshot of golf facilities in the state. A recently established course or one that has undergone a name change may not yet appear in the listing. Additionally, the federal database does not include operational details such as a course's public or private designation, green fees, or course layout information.

Users seeking specific golf facilities should use this directory as a starting point to locate courses by city and county. Once a course has been identified, its official website should be consulted to verify current hours of operation, current rates, and reservation availability.

Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the New York directory

Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
