New York City is certainly a tough place to play golf. Not only are there very few places to play in the city, but getting out into the suburbs can take forever with the horrendous New York traffic. These driving ranges are accessible for anyone living in the city, and are great options to continue playing and working on your game even when living in a bustling metropolis.
