South Shore Golf Course

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.

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.

The tee boxes are being reworked in areas and other ones are in rough shape. The bunkers are also in pretty rough shape. Greens were in pretty good condition. Decent all around

Greens were in terrible condition.

fairways were in poor condition

Don’t waste your money go to New Jersey

I thought they closed the landfill in 2001, but given the current conditions @ South Poor, it's obvious they (just) moved it here. TBH, I was expecting to see goats and cattle grazing on this pasture with a few of cart paths.

There is fairway-length grass on the greens, unlike the area where you are supposed to tee off (you can't call them tee boxes). The sand delivery guy must have printed out the wrong MapQuest because all the sand is on the greens and tee boxes, unlike in the bunkers.

It was $67 for a weekday AM round, which is criminal. Seriously, it's a joke. The new ownership group should be arrested, and Agent Hotchner should be called in.

Aside from that, the course is mint.

Greens in way better shape than LaTourett! Even the damaged ones on back are filling in quicker than expected. Still playing Temporary tee boxes on some holes not sure when the grand re-opening will be? Was given break on cart Fees for my Son and I to ride which is much appreciated since course is not “ fullly” open yet. Could also use some maintenance around downed tree limbs and Itchy ball removals. Fairways cut and mowed and most greens look great and rolling nicely. Please keep up the good work going on here and I’ll be spending more time and money on this course. Even though it’s same management company now in charge of all 3 public courses on island, they are NOT run the same.

The bones of this course are definitely there. Issue is it’s just in Pretty bad condition. Some greens are a disaster and the same goes for some tee boxes. But the course layout is pretty solid and challenging. A little TLC and this place could really be something

While this is the best public course on SI a little more TLC & Resident and Senior discounts would make it Great

Well some work is being done on the course. Typical maintenance like sheeting tea boxes and cleaning up sand traps do not seem to even be attempted. This could be a very nice course given a little TLC and attention. Hopefully the new owners will take it seriously because American Golf has it in the last 10 years.

The course is in rough shape, I snagged a tee off special but at full price the course is simply not worth it. I do see they are working on some tees, but the course needs many weeks of good weather to start the grass growing. Greens have a ridiculous amount of top dressing, combined with the typical Neanderthals who never fix ball marks and putting is at best a crap shoot. I feel South Shore has the most character of any Staten Island course, but I would stay away for the time being.

It's a great course. Needs a little work especially on the greens & bunkers. To be fair it's early in the season to be too critical.

My group, usually 3 or 4 players, plays here almost every Saturday year round. I and a friend come from Brooklyn while my brother travels in from NJ. I find it annoying and irritating that I can't book the following Saturday at the club house. How much of an inconvenience is it for the person in the pro shop. to make the tee time?
