Other than 3 holes with greens that you cannot putt on the course is in good shape.

Air rate

I wish I would’ve known the conditions of the greens on the course all the greens where air rated already you could not put I would have booked another course if I knew this in advance. It would be great info if you made golfers aware of the course conditions before booking on line .

Greens on back 9 still have issues

The greens are holes 11, 12, 14 are unputtable. and now hole 13 is beginning to start to look like fungus starting to creep in

White tee boxes have so much use basically no grass remaining. All other greens are in great shape except for recent aerations done last Tuesday

Worst condition it has ever been

I would not recommend going here at the moment! At least for a couple months.

Everything is aerated ! Which is fine and it happens everywhere.

But no warning about it. Anywhere

Not even front desk tells you the conditions

At least 4-6 greens are in terrible condition

No clean putting surface

Holes -sand- or just dirt and rocks is what you are getting

Sand traps your lucky if it’s sand. Only a few only have pure sand

Rest are rocks and dirt

Course is in terrible condition right now.

They most definitely should not be charging full price per round

South Shore went from hands down the most beautiful Golf course in Staten Island. They had it perfect!!! Looking great 👍🏽

To hands down the worst playing conditions in a 6 months span 👎🏽

I’m not sure what is going on there with the greens keepers or MGMT

Worst conditions I have ever seen!

I am gravely disappointed to see the course in this condition. South Shore has a lot of potential but the current grounds crew needs to be fired. Never in my 13 years of golfing across 5 different countries and dozens of golf courses have a I played a course this badly maintained. the greens had no grass on them, mostly clumpy wet sand. The fairway was no better, it was either hard soil or unkempt grass. the tee boxes were beaches, full of sand and nothing else, whoever is running this course seriously needs to re-evaluate what they're doing. its a shame to see a course with so much potential be reduced to this. it barely qualifies as a golf course, especially at 52$ for a tee time.

TERRIBLE GREENS!

I’ve been playing here since I’m 16 years old. Now at 43, I chose to play yesterday as a last minute option and I was terribly surprised at the unplayable condition of the majority of greens especially in the back 9. They should refund me and everyone else who plays there as the greens are unplayable. Colored dirt, patches of grass and sand. They should be ashamed of themselves for charging people for these crappy conditions.

Course is destroyed

Don’t waste your time. Said the greens were being air rated. All of them were ripped up, majority of the holes had temporary greens.

Tee boxes are either mud or not cut

Wait till 2026 to golf here

The whole course was aerated.

course stated greens aeration 8/26 & 8/27. However, the fairways were also aerated. should have made that known.

Poor Conditions

For a long time, the back nine had a few holes that were in bad condition. They still are, however now all other holes on course are being irrigated, and a number of tee boxes are in bad shape.

OMG, just how quickly the course has fallen apart

In April, South Shore was a hidden gem

But now, its one of the worse courses around

Tee boxes have no grass

Fairways are pitted and unmoved

The greens are unplayable

In fact I played the back nine, and holes 11, 12, 14, and 15 have no grass at all

They're planning to aerated and seed the tee boxes and greens end of August beginning of September. They have a major tournament in October. They need to close the course for 2 weeks...at least...

Its sad ...

Stay away until next year

Just go to new jersey

It really is a shame that this course has taken a severe turn for the worst. Been playing it for 20 years and it is in the worst shape I’ve ever seen. I understand stand that last season some kids ruined some greens, but that was months ago. There’s no excuse that at least 4 tee boxes are just plain dirt, but even some “grass tee boxes” are terrible. I don’t blame the staff, they are definitely trying, but my gripe is how on earth are you charging people 70$ plus another $17 for a cart. For almost $90 ,you can play 1,000x’s nicer courses in New Jersey, and shave an hour off you round. In its current condition, the should be charging $40 with a cart. A bunch of the greens aren’t even playable, and majority of the tee boxes don’t even have any grass. It really is a shame.
