CityParks Junior Golf Center
Last year, I had the opportunity to visit the only public course in Brooklyn that I've never played - the CityParks Junior Golf Center. If you've ever played Dyker Beach Golf Course, you may have noticed the Junior Golf Center's 6th hole behind a chain-link fence that runs along the edge of Dyker Beach's 14th hole.
Simply put, the Junior Golf Center is fantastic. The facility includes a 6-hole golf course with holes ranging from approximately 40 – 115 yards; massive putting and chipping greens, including an enormous practice bunker surrounding the latter; numerous covered hitting bays; and a clubhouse learning center. The Center is open to juniors ages 6-17, and instruction and academies are available free of charge. Check the Center's website for more information about how to register.
The clubhouse includes a list of all the holes in one made at the course since 2010 – 42 in total! I wonder how many will be added to the list in 2023?

CityParks Junior Golf Center - Hole 4
Last year, I posted about two holes in New York City that are strategically similar to the 12th hole at Augusta National. This follow-up post includes one additional hole that presents similar challenges – the 4th hole at CityParks Junior Golf Center. A bunker long and left of the green gathers pulled approach shots that fly too far. The hill to the right of the green kicks pushed approach shots that come up short into a former bunker area. And because the green angles from front left to back right, players must hit precise tee shots to get close to the pin.
