Sweet greens

Greens were soft but fast, pin placement was challenging. I’m. Happy to see the improvements on course, the tee boxes are good shape as well.

FLY BY THE PRETTY TREE

This course is spectacular, it feels casual but challenging, the nature is beautiful in first park really a sight to see. The greens could use some work, but you can tell the staff puts in effort to keep it maintain. I come to first park very often, I've played other NYC courses and this one definitely has a spot in my heart.

Rude staff, Overpriced, overbooked, subpar conditions

It’s early in the season so I can excuse the sub-par conditions of the course (that’s being extremely generous the fairways are barely fairways, the collars around the greens are patchy as heck, so on). What I find inexcusable is the staff and starter are extremely rude, hurry you, and overall standoff-ish and unfriendly in every sense of the word. Above it all, my round costed ~$95 with a cart. Shame on me for paying, but I just wanted to play some golf. You may think by the rate your playing some semi-public golf club with nice conditions and amenities. Don’t be fooled, don’t book, I’m never coming back.
