It’s in bad shape.

I wanted to like this course so much but the sandy greens, hornet attacks and overall conditions were so bad it makes silver lake feel like pebble beach.

Beware of Murder Hornets

I’ve played this course several times throughout different times of the year. This time around (July) was pretty terrible. They have a very serious problem of murder hornets all around the greens and even in some fairways. We’re talking close to a 1000+ on some greens. You end up having to leave the ball on the green and move onto the next hole. This happened several times throughout the round. Very clear that they are not doing anything about it. Definitely my last time playing this course. Staten Island courses in general are pretty bad to begin with, but today was very disappointing. Lastly, don’t even bother looking at the menu in the “clubhouse” - apparently they don’t keep those things in stock and the GM is too lazy to do anything about it.

Golf in March

Overall the course is coming along, grass starting to grow and greens filling in. Compared to LaTourett it’s ahead of schedule with maintenance and upkeep. They actually have a starter(Bruno) who was especially nice and accommodating on busy Sunday after washout Saturday. Windy conditions dried out most wet areas and pace of play was better than expected.

Better than LaTourette’s horse track!

Cart path only so slowed it down a bit, course is starting to grow inn. Greens spotty with crab grass patches but it’s still only March! Bruno the starter, super nice! Over all much better than players club at LaTourett which is currently in sad shape. Bunkers have actual sand in it and fairways coming along. Even after rain on Saturday it wasn’t too wet thanks to 20 mph winds!

American golf should be ashamed

Terrible tee boxes and sand traps. Tee’d off 35 minutes after my tee time. Course overcrowded, golf carts falling apart(had to switch carts 3 times). No rangers moving groups. Large gaps between groups. No body working on the course.

Save your $

Think everyone knows SS is garbage but just a reminder it still is. I play there in the beginning of the year and it was in terrible shape and is still is.i just don't see them doing anything to improve. You talk to the staff and they tell you course get a lot of play but so do all the other courses in NJ and there a 100x better. The in the end just want you $$$. So don't give it to them
