Bad and getting worse

The place is a dump! I’ve been coming here for decades and this is the worst it has ever been. Several Unplayable greens and the whole course is not being maintained or cared for properly. On top of this, this is the company that took over this year and abruptly ended club membership. Now it’s an over priced, user unfriendly dump. Attendance is fallen way off as well. Just poor management all around by this group. Offer a new club membership to Staten Island residents and fix the darn course.

For the price, wish it was better

One thing for sure is that getting rid of the memberships at this location has affected everyone going to this course. Another negative feedback is $20.00 per person for cart is absurd. A few greens were in terrible shape which affected getting better scores. Bunkers are always a nightmare, feels like you are swinging off concrete while in there. I know it’s a round in March but this is nothing new from this course.

Could not complete the round

1st 10 were ok the there were young kids all over the place. There was an 8some in front of me and a 6some in front of them. I walked back to the front 9 and there were groups of 6+ on most of the holes so I left. There was no Ranger or anyone to break them up or speed them up. Pretty poor. It was such a nice day to go and then....Poof!

Not worth the price when you can't complete the round.

Slow

Course so slow, 3 tee time out and 5 hour round of golf. At $40 it’s overpriced they need people on the course to get groups moving along

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.

Sandbox !!!

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.

Back 9 Greens

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

Needs work

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

Nice course. Could use TLC

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.

Solid Track

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.

Buyer Beware

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.
