South Shore Golf Course

I would not recommend anybody to play in Staten Island. They charge $22 for a cot. It is the first week of February. That is a big rip off. Three of the holes, a goose poop all over it.

Horrible experience. Entire back 9 was a sand box from the tee boxes to the putting greens. Was not even a word mentioned about this and they still charged a premium to play. Never again.

Yes it’s October golf but the inconsistency of many Greens and Tee boxes really surprising! You were either putting through a sandy pot holed green or some in great condition? Happy to get out even in worse than usual conditions. Difficult to judge pace or even how balls would land and roll out on shoddy greens. It’s been in much better shape plenty of rounds but not this day, oh well

Greens are in really bad shape

It’s almost impossible to putt on at least 4 greens

Hopefully it’s back in order soon enough

Carts dirty. Have not been washed in a while.

Tee boxes in bad shape overall. Lots of tees left in place.

Lots of Divots in greens.

Back 9 greens had a lot of sand in them.

Sand traps dry.

South shore is slightly short from the back tees but makes up for lack of length with some well laid out holes that have good elevation changes and are fun to play.

A few of the greens were saturated with sand and were in really poor shape, which is something that should’ve been communicated in advance. All in all, it’s a good course to play in a pinch and I’ll probably be back in the future.

Some greens are unplayable. The bunkers are filled with rock from Pompeii. Your clubs get stolen by the group behind you. The tee boxes look like dug up tombs. There add random mounds of dirt the height of your waist in the fairway, amongst other unplayable spots. There’s also a few hornets nests here and there. There is no rangers on duty to enforce pace of play. The groundskeeper has been missing since 1982. All this for $82. I know what you’re thinking, you just need a place to play today, but trust me, it isn’t worth it.

No grass on tee boxes. Greens terrible. Overall poor condition

Charging $80 for this course should be illegal. When we arrived to the course we had to wait after our tee time for a cart because there were none available. There was no grass or markers on the many of the tee boxes and the greens might as well have been bunkers. Our round was even worse with the group in front of us playing from the blue tees but being incapable of hitting it passed the red tees. There was no ranger going around the course for pace of play which was definitely needed. Tire marks tearing the fairway and fringe on par 3s could have easily been patrolled and prevented. On a 90 degree day you would think they would have water available... nope. There was actually a water fountain that was destroyed which didn't help anyone. Overall, a horrible experience and wouldn't recommend this course to anyone. A waste of time and money.

Overall course is in good shape, but several greens on the back 9 were apparently vandalized but are improving. Pace of play was great, under 3 hours with cart. It’s a fun layout, lot of variety in the holes, for a public golf course at a discounted rate its great value, full rate with cart it’s overpriced.

Although it rained the night before the condition of the course bad. Just about every tee box was mud. A few greens are still recovering from vandalism. Used to be one of my favorite courses and I hope by next season they will have figured out how to get plush tee boxes again. They should not charge more than $40 with cart in the condition it is in.
