Water...Water...Water

Juneteenth Holiday wasn't a good day to play, Everybody was free to play golf. OK, a holiday I get it. A five hour round wasn't a surprise. The tee boxes were rock hard. Fairways were good and greens were good, however, really fast on this hot day without recent rain in NYC.

After the 11th hole I ran out of water. All I could think about was water...water...water. I turned to my friend Gene to ash him if he had any extra. But it wasn't Gene. It was Ben Hogan. Arnold Palmer and Byron Nelson walked out of the wood onto the tee box. They told me not to worry. That I won't need water where they play. I was thirsty, hot, and sweaty.

I woke up at the clubhouse. Cold towels bathe my face and forehead. I was able to sip some cold water and ice chips. When my delirium wore off, I recommend --- demanded --- that full water coolers be placed throughout the track. A lot of senior citizens play here. We should be playing golf safely and hydrated, not adding heat strokes to our score card.

Over booked

Played there this pasted Saturday. Had a 12:03 T-time, didn’t tee off until 12:30. When we got to the 2nd hole there was 1 foursome teeing off and 2-foursomes waiting to T off. By the 3rd hole the foursome behind us was hitting up on us to move faster. While we were waiting for the foursome in front of us to finish putting. After 4 1/2 hours we left after the 14th hole.

Terrible course management. It’s all about booking and billing.

GOLFNOW MESSED UP

I Prepaid for my round on the GOLFNOW app. Upon arrival to the course, my 3 playing partners went to check in. Gave the clubhouse employee the name and tee time. The course's cpu only had my tee time with a convenience fee paid, not the full round. They were all charged full price and had to pay, as GOLFNOW had not displayed, to the course, that the round was Prepaid.

Please fix communication issues with the courses

Course is turning around!

I’m not one to write reviews, so this is rare and it must be worth my time. This public track has taken a beating on pace of play and price - deservingly so on some accounts but the course conditions are EXCELLENT right now. I’ve been play this course for 20 years and the tee boxes, fairways and greens are superb! Haven’t seen them this good in a long time. It’s worth it to give them another shot.

First Time Playing

Old Mayflower Country Club

That was designed by Devereux Emmet. Course is my favorite of the NyC public’s. Love the layout and the old school Emmet greens. Conditions can be spotty but that’s the case with all the NYC courses.
