Pelham Bay Golf Course (Bronx, New York)

The history of this golf course, or rather where it is located, is quite creepy. Located in Pelham Bay Park in Bronx, New York, the Pelham Bay Golf Course started out as the 9-hole Pell Golf Links in 1901 before being redesigned by John Van Kleek in 1936 and renamed as Pelham. This bit of history is not the sinister part, though, as Pelham Bay Park is said to be a popular dumping ground for dead bodies, with more than 60 bodies discovered between 1986 to 1995, with a number of them being mob-related, as evidenced by missing fingers, while others were identified with gang violence. The 2,700-acre park was considered a perfect dumping ground due to its size, with some bodies found floating in the water or covered with blankets.
