Take a road trip close to home to tee off and practice your short game at the Links at Valley Fields in Shrub Oak.

It's an Arnold Palmer-designed par-3 9-hole golf course that just opened last year.

Walk-ons are welcome to rent a club and tee up for holes that stretch more than 100 yards in length.

Your drive is surrounded by the serene greens of parkland owned by the town of Yorktown that caters to the novice and expert.

Beginners can make an appointment to learn the game of golf one-on-one with a pro.

Sharpen your swing, challenge your drive and do it all in good company.

Before hitting the road home, refuel at the Tee Bar and Grille!

Overlook the greens with good eats at the restaurant, a cold one at the bar and an ambiance to remember.
