Average course

Super friendly starter and staff. Pace of play was really slow. Some parts of course does not drain well, so would not recommend after hard rain. Green condition used to be excellent, but degraded a bit. Some part of fairways could use some work. Bunker was ok given post rain condition. I think bit more investment need to be made on course condition and pace of play

Get what you paid for

Overall nice course. Green is fast and pristine. Friendly staff. Has range and putting green. As a walker will always prefer to walk but ride only. Did upgrade carts recently. Tight holes and water force carries. Long 225 yds par 3 in back nine. Recommend it.

Father's Day disaster

There were several issues with Roycebrook East course:
Bunkers - had no sand in it and was pretty much clay and mud. To be fair, it did rain the night before but not having sand at all is an issue in my opinion.
Carts - while I do prefer walking, I do expect carts to be properly charged for whole round when i paid for riding. Cart's battery died on the 14th hole, and service number noted on cart's windshield went all to voicemail. Had to connect to banquet service to connect to pro shop. They never showed with new cart. After walking through rest of round, spoke with proshop
but they had no adults and only non mgmt employees were around. Granted it was father's day weekend but I thought there would be some coverage. Left my info to speak with someone but never heard back.
It is a shame because layout is good, and greens were fair. I would stay away from course until changes are made.

Fast greens

Overall, good pace and green is in prime condition. It explains the green fee. Can do better on range ball quantity for what you pay. Would be nice to offer walking rates. But green is great.

Too slow

Overall, course was in good condition. It was a hot day, but there is breeze by the course which made it easier. However, pace of play was bad as it took 5 hours to finish. Really didn't see rangers in the back 9. The driving range is small, so practice is only for irons. The starter and staff outside were nice. There was one staff inside, who I thought was bit rude, but probably doesn't represent the course. Pin placements were tough. Expect undulation greens, so GIR is just half the battle. Greens rolled fast and but some holes I thought were bit inconsistent from majority of holes. They did shave off rough and fescue to play bit easier and faster. Other than pace, it has an interesting layout.

Overall, good course

Overall, good experience on this course. I did see rangers out and about, though i felt like they were camping in certain holes. Bunkers need to be upgraded on sand. Greens are average. Need more water on fairways but overall layout is excellent especially from black tees. Bit of a challenge in my view. I would suggest playing black and enjoy the layout. Value wise I think this is a good course.

Please avoid this course

There are two 18 hole courses in club. One of a kind in NYC muni courses. But mosquito condition is really really bad. Bug spray will not help you. Our foursome gave up by the 6th hole. It is too bad because the course layout is pretty nice. Bunkers needs work, but until mosquito conditions are corrected I would stay away. Alternatively, you can wait till winter to play.

Pleasantly surprised

I was pleasantly surprised by this course. Hot deal always helped but I have to say course condition overall was very well maintained. There were several rangers which I think helped the pace as well. Only downside was the green condition. It was in good condition, but it was very slow and uneven from hole to hole. With that being said, for a muni course, I enjoyed the layout very much, and I suggest trying back tee to add some challenge to the course. (+6800 yds)

Surprising

I have played this course at various times, and I was pleasantly surprised. The greens were in much better condition than I expected, and starter was super helpful and friendly. I am going to give higher than average. Some items of note: tee boxes still need work. But I think it has more to do with cutting trees to help to get more sun as opposed to mgmt not taking care of it. Carts need to be upgraded, and if not just cleaner. But overall for a closest muni course to downtown Manhattan, I would give higher end of 3 stars. Course is sneaky long and tougher back nine.

This course is getting better

Overall, I felt their green was becoming better. They need to do a better job shaving and pressing it, but conditions overall was better than last time i was here. Tee boxes are slowly becoming better, but still needs work. Rained the night before but overall was well drained.

Good place for short game practice.

Getting better

I have to say, this course is getting better. The greens could use bit more speed, but overall I can notice the improvement on fairways and tee boxes.
I saw a ranger twice which was nice to see as well.
I think once they get the pace of play better, the course could have a much better experience for golfers.

inconsistent greens

I play at this course from time to time. I have to say there were some positives. First the pace of play got better. I think this in part is playing at earlier in the morning, and the staff are pretty friendly. The starter is a good guy, though he was bit frustrated with rangers. I think this course has potential, and it has history.
Some negatives were the green and tee box. I get we are at tail end of the season, but if greens were being aerated, it would have been nice to be notified or adjust the price accordingly. Definitely could use more work as greens are bit slower and not consistent.

But it is NYC muni course so I had my expectation set appropriately. Long par 3 and par 5 for those on back tee, but definitely playable. Take advantage of short par 4s.

Appreciate this course

The course has an interesting layout. Some water, and narrow fairways on tougher holes. Rough can be brutal. Advise caution. Green is at the aerating process, so should be in better condition soon. Suggest back tee to add some challenge to your game. Pace of play can be improved but in all fairness I saw rangers along the way.

Good course for weekend warriors. Not bad for a county course. Walkable as well. No amenities or proshop though. They have a range but BYOB. Course could be better with bit more investment in my view.

Good to be back

I think most golfers that experienced this course would agree on the layout of the course to be interesting. Many holes gives you different options to approach.
Towards end of season, so this course took its share of beating, but greens were still in good condition overall, and bunkers were well kept. Though course got shorter, appreciated the tee box adjustment to move forward, to repair other tee boxes. It was raining for better part of the round, but thought the course drained well, and pace was decent. Overall happy to pay my share and come back to play again.

Great Course

It has been years since I played at this course, and I felt that it was still in great condition. Weather was hot and humid. But, I appreciated the following:
1. Driving range with real grass as opposed to turf.
2. Friendly staff.
3. Course layout.

It felt like they did shave off a bit on the rough, which i didn't mind. Fast green, and layout allows for you to pick your shots. Plays bit slow in part because of the layout, but saw rangers around checking in.
Overall worth the drive from NYC, and glad I used long weekend easy traffic to get down to play here. Will come back for more pain later on the year. haha

Great experience

Really happy with course experience. Very impressed with the layout. Greens were being aerated so I will not comment on green. Pace of play could use work, but I think this has more to do with course layout as opposed to lack of attention by rangers, as I saw them around 4 times during my round. Play conservative in front five holes. Course does open up from 6th to around 14th. I will definitely be back. Driving from nyc is bit of a track, but worth it for me. Friendly staff. Rodger at pro shop and Jim as starter were super nice. Made my first experience felt welcoming.

Great course

Really enjoyed the layout of the course. Initially bit surprised by the clubhouse, which is bit lacking to say the least, but the course layout and condition more than made up for it.

Gives you some options on shots to play, and all things considered, I thought it was one of better courses to play in AC. I had some other courses to play the day before, but really thought we saved the best of last with this course.
Highly recommend to try it out.

Great experience

Overall, great experience. Initially wife fairways made me think this would be an easy course but tougher as you play along. Well kept fairways and good green conditions. Though we are at taitail end of the season, tee boxes are well kept. Course has good layout to keep you interested through out your round. Staff were friendlyespecially the starters. Old school clubhouse but food is good. One thing I thought needed improvement; quickest way to proshop is through men's lockerroom. Safe to say my wifetookthe long way. If you are in AC, definitely a course to try out.
