Pretty nice golf course...

Pretty long, challenging course.
Played it over a month ago, so, memory is a bit hazy, but I do recall a decent amount of variety for each hole.
The staff is friendly... you will definitely enjoy your golf outing here.

Pretty well maintained challenging course.

Subject title says it all!
Not a bad golf course to play. It was fun and challenging at the same time. The overall staff is pleasant, specially the starter that day. It was a shame the pro shop didn't have their course logo ball available (and can't seem to find it to purchase online anywhere, new or pre-owned!).
This place does seem to "over-book" tee slots, so, even thought my group set off before 8am, we were waiting to tee off on every hole, so playing the full 18 holes became a 5 hour outing!
So, yes, it's a nice place to get a game in, but not for me, due to the fact that I'm coming from B'klyn, so gotta pay the toll, which adds to the overall cost.
If you live in S.I., I've read and been told by many that this is the course where the maintenance hasn't slip due to the pandemic.

P.S. - No photos to upload... I accidentally deleted them, darn it!

Tough front 9 holes... more reasonably challenging back 9.

Yowsers! This course is not for the faint of heart. Felt like wherever I was at after teeing off, one would most likely have some sort of uneven lie heading towards the green on basically all the holes... so, feel like ya need a challenge? Then this is the course.
Course conditions were fine. As expected, tee boxes are beaten up. Fairways are ok. Putting greens were good, so, the overall feel for the course was a positive one!
(Forgot to mentioned, motorized golf carts are in good working condition, with a gps screen provide... nice touch!).

Tight, beautiful, challenging course in L.I.

Beautiful course. Reminds me of many courses I've played in PA & FL (golf course holes laid out within houses/residential community). Tight course, with plenty of hazards and water areas in play.
A bit steep, price wise, but not so obscene.
Friendly staff, tip top golf carts... 18th hole layout is a tough uphill trek! This course is definitely a course to use a cart (a lot of distance in between many of the holes).

Narrow, not too long, get your golf "fix" kinda course.

So, as the title states, this is a pretty short, not that shabby of a golf course for us weekend players. Was the 2nd group teeing off, so, was done in a little bit less than 2 hours, so, that's an expected pace.
You'll be able to use your driver, but, you better be somewhat accurate with it, as most holes are either lined up with trees or you're gonna be on another hole's rough/fairway.
Also, found it weird that the motorized golf carts had gps, but no yardages would be given. And the gps would give your position if you were off on the rough and be requesting you to "go backwards", back to the proper path (guess management wants us to stick to the carth paths).
My biggest gripe is how "beat up" all the tee boxes were on all the holes. I was told by one person on my group that it's due to the course having "soccer golf" outings & events (guess that answered why there some big holes with a flag on it on the ground near the greens). Fairways were good. Rough was HIGH. The greens were wet and SLOW.
Overall, a good course for those who want to get their 9 holes in quick.

Get your golf fix in this municipal public golf course.

Last time I golfed here was a couple of years ago, so, not much has changed since, except with the current pandemic, the entire staff is doing their best in maintaining all the "cleanliness" guidelines that can be enforced. The course itself is in ok shape. Some of the tee boxes were truly beat up. Some sand traps had no rakes to be found. Fairways were fine. Putting greens were either too fast or too slow, so, the overall experience was as expected for a NYC public golf course. A decent golf outing, so, a course worth playing (as all public golf courses, play early or suffer the consequences).

Nice course to play once in awhile.

Pretty good course. Lots of variations thru out per hole. The course will definitely test your accuracy off the tee box, whether you decide to use your driver, woods, hybrids, any irons or wedges. Putting greens were either extremely slow or fast, so it was hard to gauge a decent stroke, but then, I'm not a consistent player. It was a fun golf outing, so, there in lies the beauty of Kissena Park Golf Course (by the way, keep your eyes open to the wild animals (I think it was a young fox at the 7th hole) roaming thru the holes).
