NYC Diaries: A Golf Course in the Neighborhood | Surreal & Serene

You don’t expect to stumble upon a sprawling green golf course tucked between rows of quiet suburban homes—but that’s exactly what happened today in Pelham, New York.👌 As I took my afternoon walk through this peaceful, tree-lined community, there it was: a beautifully maintained golf course, glowing under the soft autumn sun 🍂. The contrast was striking—colorful fall leaves framing the bright green fairways, with houses sitting just steps away from the perfectly manicured grass. It felt both surreal and soothing. Pelham, I’ve learned, is one of those under-the-radar quality neighborhoods in the New York area—home to beautiful parks, good schools, and clearly, some lovely surprises. This golf course, seamlessly woven into the residential fabric, made me wonder: Is it open to the public? Is it exclusive to residents? The access isn’t obvious, and there are no towering fences or “Keep Out” signs—just a gentle blur between daily life and leisure.😊 It reminded me of something I once saw in Miami—a residential golf course where locals could train and play without traveling far. But here in the Northeast? It’s a first for me, and it adds such a unique charm to this already appealing town.😁❤️ I snapped these photos on my phone—simple, spontaneous documentary shots of something that feels both ordinary and out-of-the-ordinary. Sometimes, the most interesting discoveries are right where we live, hiding in plain sight.😒 Have you ever seen something like this where you are? A golf course in the neighborhood? A soccer field between apartment blocks? A slice of nature nestled right inside city life? #NYCDiaries #GolfCourseLife #NeighborhoodFinds #PelhamNY #AutumnVibes #NYCSuburbs #DiscoverNY #UrbanNature #SereneSpaces #LifeInNY
