Played at Starr Pass- Tubac Resort and Rancho Manana while on vacation. This course is beautiful and in excellent condition. Very tight and using a driver on many holes is just asking for trouble. The layout and surrounding area is unmatched and would definitely return.

Practice greens much faster than actually greens.
Nice layout, nothing worth the winter prices, but it seems the clientele have money to burn. I’d play it again, but no t that memorable.

What was once lovingly cared for by local legends and staff is now garbage. The greens are the only thing acceptable. Tee boxes are below average. Sand traps are void of any sand on every hole. All fairways are rock hard with no real grass and hitting in the middle of the fairway means nothing. It’s a shame that this once beautiful course is now nothing but a waste of money. Lastly- I grew up two blocks away and have played it at least 500 times from 1980 until now. This is a disgrace.

Good Morning….. crickets
How are you today? - crickets
I’m here to check in and a little early, maybe if you have a no-show you can get me out earlier- please.
= dirty look. finally I’m figuring out how to make solid contact with my 2iron. It’s not the first time with this POS. I watched him yell at someone for playing the blue tees. The guy shot in the high 70’s
after a poor first shot. All the other starters are fine gentlemen. It’s the little things that ruin a much needed zen like round of golf. The course could use a ranger to keep slow groups in position, but first, deal with this moron. PLEASE! outside of the 16th green being damaged by the heavy rains, the course is in great shape and the crew should be commended for a great season!!!!

Compared to all the courses in the boroughs this is hands down the best. If you live in the city and go anywhere else you’ve made a mistake.

With the exception of the starter who needs a slap for belittling the other guys in my group for playing the back tees, I love this place. Greens in above average shape, as are most tee boxes, sand is in the traps and the pace of play has been consistent.
Fairways are burnt from the lack of rain, but it’s late August and we’ve had a dry summer. People are friendly and for the most part very chill.
The amount of work over the last 15 years is without comparison to the other local dumps.
Maybe a water cooler or two in the middle of each nine would be nice, but you can’t complain when you see what most public course in the area look like.

This is an interesting course that is over 120 years old, one of the oldest in the country. It’s a really cool layout that’s fill with twists and turns that keep you on your toes. Greens are in very good shape, but the tee boxes are mostly dirt and so are the bunkers. The mature trees around most tee boxes have long ago stopped the sun from doing its job and it’s a same. If this course was in great shape it would be amazing. Also, the pace of play is absolutely horrendous. It’s overbooked!

The course isn’t that hard if the wind is calm.
Mostly short holes, but very tricky greens that are speedy and full of slopes. The staff is unpleasant with the exception of a couple of retired guys. Passive aggressive ranger and comical pro shop personnel. Too many geese and ducks, but those cut out wood dogs will surely keep them away…..
Very playable without the wind and in very good shape, well bunkered with quality sand. Very strange aprons with no fridges around the greens.
Weird vibe about the place.

Course is in nice shape, greens are rock hard to the point that lob shots don’t stop, but the overall condition is amazing for the amount of traffic.
Luckily the first couple of rounds have been void of Brooklyn attitudes that lurk in the shadows and can be heard at close range. Maybe I’m getting old, but it’s getting tiring hearing some tattooed guido complain about not being able to hit 1 of 5 mulligans in the fairway.

Played yesterday, course in excellent condition. Played the front 9 without incident, got to 10 and there was 6 golfers playing together, our twosome that was playing with us bailed after 9 so we were stuck behind 6 golfers who never thought of letting us play through- and they sucked!!! Drunk with coolers and playing like they were in The Masters. Tried calling pro shop- no answer! Tried calling the managers office- No Answer!
This is Brooklyn golf. This type of behavior. Ruined our day and weekend with selfish, thoughtless stupidity. No ranger - nobody to call. I’m calling the pro shop , but doubt anything will be done. You can’t make this up- horrific!

This is not the longest course but it’s a pleasure to play. Staff was friendly and the locals I met were even friendlier. Recent storms did some damage to a few fairways but still very playable with tricky greens. I’d definitely go back and give it another go. Definitely a hidden gem and reasonably priced.

Enjoyed the course, easy to walk, not that long and mostly flat.
Greens were really great and reward being below the cup.
Most of the trouble is on the left side on most holes.
Repairs on the clubhouse and parking lot are underway but that means nothing if your there to play golf.
Will definitely play again.

Nice course, played for 50. and just barely got in 18.
I’m not sure it’s worth the 125. to play in the morning.
Elevated tee boxes can become redundant and the par 3s are lack lustre, but it’s a fun track with a premium on not being in the trees. The condition of this course is very good.
