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.

Tee times

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?

Need better management

The course itself is good for what it is. Decently fun hole layouts. The management was the issue. When you get there you feel like nobody works there. There was no starter so people where just walking up to the tee box and going, regardless of tee time. The pace of play was really not great. A combination of slow walkers and lack of authority from the starter resulted in a almost 6 hour round (on a short course). I think with better management and organization the course would be great.

Yikes

Got a hot deal for $35 and might have overpaid after seeing this dog track. Tee boxes torn to shreds, fairways and rough was so-so, bunkers were atrocious, and greens were the worst I’ve seen in a couple years now. It felt like when you putt on aerated greens. Dirt / sand patches in the middle made it laughable.

We were just grabbing a quick round after work on a Friday since a family member worked in Staten Island and it’d take a lot for me to go back.

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
