Driving Directions: Free parking is available near the golf course. Drive along Van Cortlandt South to Van Cortlandt Park East, and continue under the overpass where you would enter the Thruway. Do not enter the Thruway. Keep left and go under the overpass to access the parking lot. "Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course" is what to place in your GPS. Once parked, ask directions to the subway station entrance. There you'll find us at 9:30 AM. It's about a 10 minute walk.
