Aviator Golf Center

About Aviator Golf Center

You'll find this public 18-holer tucked away in Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field, a former naval air station that gives the course its aviation theme and surprisingly open feel for New York City golf. The flat, links-style layout takes advantage of the wide-open airfield terrain, with few trees but plenty of wind off Jamaica Bay to test your shot-making. While the 3.3 Google rating suggests maintenance issues and perhaps dated facilities, the unique setting and relative affordability make it worth considering if you're looking for something different from the typical tree-lined suburban courses. The real draw here is the novelty factor. Where else can you play golf on a decommissioned runway with views of the Verrazzano Bridge? Walking is permitted, which helps keep costs down and lets you better appreciate the unusual industrial-meets-nature backdrop. Just temper your expectations on course conditions and focus on the experience of playing one of the city's more unconventional golf venues.
