636am tee time and still slow pace of play

Rangers really need to do a better job having people move along. I don't mind the re-tee shots but rangers need to keep people moving. Unacceptable that be the 3rd group to start and finish at almost 5 hours.

tee boxes were in terrible condition. I dont mind the usual wear and tear but to have tee boxes uneven and have ditches is just not acceptable.

Not up to par

I played mid-March on a Saturday teeing off early afternoon. Took 4 hours and 40 minutes. That's probably an average time for NYC/Long Island public courses - which is not good. The two staff members we interacted with were friendly, nice, and helpful. There's just nothing to the course and its just beat up, which I was expecting, although I have not played here in at least 7-8 years. It is spring/pre-season so I didn't expect the course to be in great shape - and it wasn't so there's hope it will improve in the coming months. If you're looking for a course to go out and learn the game or just get in a round and don't need a beautiful course, then this is fine. We took a cart but many on the course were walking - which would've been fine because we waited on maybe 1/3 of the tees to play the next hole. I would rate this below Douglaston, all 3 Eisenhower courses, and the Bethpage course I've played.

First Time Playing

Parkland style track with challenging Par 3s and Par 4s

[10] Course notes: NYC-owned track was formerly a private track; Some greens including hole # 7 were in bad shape w/ barely any grass in certain areas about 8x8 feet wide.
[11] Course notes: Greens were benign with no multiple level areas or severe breaks.
[12] Course notes: I was thrilled hitting shots over water on two very challenging and uphill Par 3 holes over 170 yards away with water in play (front water hazard).
[16] Course notes: Parkland style course with benign rough was a significant factor to offset my low FIR and better than average scrambling.
[17] Course notes: The views of the Long Island Sound and Throgs Neck Bridge from a high point in the golf course were spectacular and definitely adds to the unique golf experience.
[18] Course notes: Several tee boxes were under repair and at least 5 fairways had large bare patches or huge patches of weeds growing.
[21] Restrooms were clean and updated.
[22] Walker friendly with minimal areas that were cordoned-off. Elevation changes were not too extreme for push carts
[23] Practice areas were limited to putting green only. No driving range on site. Offsite driving range 2.5 miles away charges $11/ small bucket, too expensive for my budget.
[24] Pro Shop sells sandwiches, cold drinks and coffee.

Greens tees

The greens are rough bumpy and several tee boxes under construction. There is still time before the season.

Frozen greens

A day in the 30''s so long drives running out to 300 yds and approach shots bouncing off frozen greens.

Need a lot of work. Some holes need to repair greens.
Fairways were much more worst. Water pipes were explored and fairway was wet sticky situation. If I paid more than $35 by TeeOff, I really regretted that. Fortunately I paid reasonable cost for playing this course. Do not waste your money when it’s over $50.

Conditions are appalling

Tee boxes were literally just dirt. The “fairway” was the same cut as the rough. The greens looked more like browns. It seems that they’re are redoing the cart paths instead of putting money into the condition of the course. This course is outrageously overpriced. I understand it’s the end of the season but the condition of the course is not worth the $60-$70. This course is in dire need of a renovation and proper groundskeeper.

Course Conditions Lacking

'Greens' were more like 'browns'; fairways were more like rough, tee boxes bumpy.

The only work on the course was new curbs on cart paths which cosmetically looks better but more time/money should be spent on maintaining course.

Staff was unfriendly

The starter was not organized. I showed up 10 minutes early and he had the other 2 booked with me already starting. After they teed off he told them to wait and that I had to join them. Then after I teed off and the other 2 went ahead, the starter stopped me again and told me our 4th had just arrived and I now needed to wait for them. The other 2 were in the fairway already and he said they'll be fine when telling our 4th to tee off. For the hot deal I got it was worth it but for the normal price of $70+ with a golf cart, it is not worth it. Some of the greens and tee boxes were in poor condition too.

Waited on every shot

2 groups that knew each other backed up the entire course causing many playing to leave early because they couldn't deal with it anymore. There were huge backups behind them and noone to be seen for 1-2 holes ahead of them. Course ranger was notified but nothing improved

The greens were horrible

Extremely slow play the rangers were out and did nothing about it. The greens were in horrible shape dried out and cracked. I will not play there until next year and hope it will be in better shape
