Disappointed

I have reviewed the course many times because i love it and hope they would improve it soon. But since they repair it (maybe half of year ago) no at least 4 teeboxes are still NOT open. We have to move to the fairway (like the winter golf) or on the plastic mat. This is insane when you still have to pay about $40-60/round (walking).
I will not play here for this season anymore. Really disappointed on management and maintainance process. Still, 5 stars for staff, the course layout and time saving when driving from the city!

Layout is nice but …

Good Improvements

Great to see several tee boxes getting a major overhaul at the moment. Fairways properly mown. Greens in decent shape though a bit fluffy/slow. The rough around the greens was a good, fair length.
Pace of play today was perfect. They were quite busy but our foursome got around comfortably in four hours. Accuracy off the tee is required here as the fairways are generally narrow. Thumbs up.

Love the course but…..

Course has a bunch of temp tee boxes, this should be noted when making tee times. Otherwise course is in great condition. Pace of play slow as usual, it is a muni though. Still love to play here.

It is improving

Coming back after two months, the course fairway and greens are beautiful now. I also saw they were repairing some of the tee-boxes that i complained before. When they finished, i think this will be one of the best course near NYC. Love to coming back all the time. You should play more here to support them in improving the course of town.
Keep doing, I love the course!
