HOT DEAL WAS NOT!

GOLFNOW had a Hot Deal but it was not a deal. I paid way more then if I had called the golf course directly. GOLFNOW charged $80pp, plus fees. I could have paid $25 greens fees and $15cart fee. I was over charged. It felt like I was cheated by GOLFNOW. Very disappointing!

Too slow!!

We began at the first hole waiting. The pace of play was the worst. We were waiting at every hole and no rangers were doing anything about it.

Public but full service golf course

The golf course made changes to accommodate golfers and the golf course is better. Staffs are friendlier, riding carts are brought to you in the parking lot, beverage carts, on the course restrooms, and the greens were very well maintained. Definitely recommend to friends and return for play.

Restrooms

Where are the restrooms? Golf courses are open for business and the government did not say to close the restrooms. Restrooms should be open if business is open!!!

Nice public course

The layout is nice the course condition was fair but the staff in the pro shop were somewhat rude. The can be more friendly.

Challenging!

Challenging and fun! Love the design layout and narrow first 5holes. Greens and fairways are in great conditions.

Unprepared and inadequate staff

First time playing this course. Made reservation for 11:24am tee time, the pro shop didn’t have keys to golf cart and told me to wait for the keys from golfs finishing their round. Waited 10minutes and people behind us got keys and they went out first. I went into the pros hop and complained and I wanted my money back and he apologized and found extra keys. But the layout of the course was average and the greens were small. But this was one of the few that opened in the middle of winter in the NYC area.

Could be better!

Average layout but long. No amenities, which is sad. Course could be in much better condition. Greens were better then expected. Expensive for the course condition.

Fairways need work

Fairways were hard and needs more grass. Many areas were under repair and balls flying all over from other fairways. This place is really turning into a municipal course and it's a shame.

Little pricey

Like the course but pricey. Practice range has only irons permitted. Course opened late for the season due to renovation. And course is going through aeration. Course is not in great condition.

Black Bear made easy!

Grass needs to be cut and make the pace of play quicker.
