The course is stealing!

No attempt to pretend to care about the maintenance of the course or value to the customer. Embarrassing. Another course open last week had fine conditions, BECAUSE THEY CARE!. Fresh Meadows should be ashamed of themselves. But every year they don't.

Nice Layout

Nice layout, conditions were fine for warm winter day. Staff very nice. This course needs some TLC if it’s going to stay open( it was supposed to close after last year) they also need ranger or starter. I played on a 50F day after I made the turn and a guy cut in at 10 when I caught up to him on the 11th tee he went off on me telling me to F” off that he could do whatever he wanted. Trash like this guy needs to be checked I don’t enjoy hostility.
Overall course was ok but needs work to be worth 30 dollars to walk.

RIP Fresh Meadows?

Need to cut the grass! The fairways play like the rough, the rough plays like very thick fescue. We found many lost balls of others in the rough. Lost a few myself there. Greens are bumpy. No water or ball washers on course. Tee box markers missing. Rumor is that course may be selling our acreage to archdiocese to build more cemetery space.

Good Pace

I have played this course many times, after some rain, the course was scorable, I broke 100, and even close to breaking 90, my 56 degree wedge landed near the pin. This was a classic course in it's day, storms ravaged the trees, but the par 3's are nice, the 18th will give you a snowman if you are not careful, the Club house is being rebuilt at some point, ok golf though.

Too many ball marks greens. Terrible.
There was a fivesome in front of us. That's not a big deal, but they were bad, slow, & wasting time on tees & greens.

this course needs a management

The course needs to be managed better and they need a new grounds crew, Bunkers are filled with dirt and gravel, the pace of play is 6 hours for 18 holes, often 5 or 6 people in are in a group and starter wouldn't say anything to them. On a hot day, you might as well bring your own cooler because there are no amenities on the course. Overall, I think they really need take a new look at the course because it has so much potential
