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.

First Time Playing

Expensive, slow, poorly maintained course

Course was backed up. Tee time before 10:30 and didn’t tee off until around 10:50. Finished play in just under five hours with a fast group of three. We were backed up, waiting to tee off on every single hole. The greens of the front nine were fine, but the back nine greens were either aerated or covered in seed. None of the tee boxes were actually grassy. Most were sandy, but a few were muddy. In fact, the course I just played in the desert north of New Mexico had less sandy tee boxes than this course. I would recommend other places, especially for 90+ dollars for a weekend tee time with a cart. Don’t spend 5 hours on this poor course.

Good but could be better

Some of the greens were dry and hard to putt. The fairways were well kept. Tee boxes were dry and in need of repairs.

The back 9

The front 9 is maintained well enough, but the back 9 is in shambles and has been all year. They had a problem with kids tearing up the greens on dirt bikes. I know that's a big problem that is tough to remedy. That would be a good excuse for a month or two. But this is going on since early April. And some of the other greens are a patchwork mess. It's a nice course when properly maintained. I will not waste my money to be frustrated most of the day. I do well enough on my own with my weekend warrior play. I'll wait until next year to see how the repairs have done over the winter.

Embarrassing!

Stay away from this course. 4 greens on the back 9 are unplayable. Grass has some type of disease and yet they still charge full price and chase you in to bring the carts back at 730. They should be ashamed! Don’t even get me started with the GM. How he still has a job is mind boggling. Give the people a break on the price since you can only putt on 14 of the 18 greens. To me that a 25% discount.

Course conditions on back 9

At last three holes on the back nine have greens and fairways that are bad and sort of unplayable it has been this way for quite some time and they still do not offer a discount on what is otherwise an expensive round to begin with for this course

Find another place to play

It was VERY disappointing to see the course is such a sad state. Some tee boxes were overgrown, some bunkers did not have sand, in about a half a dozen greens or damaged.

Good Summer Day

Front nine is in very good shape. Tee boxes ok. Back 9 3 greens are gone. With some drying fairways. Tee boxes being worked on. Sand traps on front 9 are good with sand. Back 9 rock hard. Otherwise a good day. Hopefully some summer the back 3 greens will find a solution. Its a shame every summer same place same problem. 12th green should be moved to the left to avoid insect burrows and green death that happens every summer.

Terrible

Charging full price to play on a course where tee boxes aren’t maintained , and 6 greens were absolutely terrible. I wasted money playing this track. The starter was also a nasty old man who couldn’t even do his job.

Back 9 Blues

Having played here for years, I am aware of the vandalism that took place on greens of # 11 and 12, it really is unfortunate but a plan needs to be implemented to fix those problems. It’s been several seasons now and things seem worse or at best just as bad. This course has potential but those holes really put damper on your round. On good note they seem to be moving tee boxes around to prevent dirt box effect 👍. Crazy electrical storm and biblical rain chased us off after 14 holes 2 of which are a shame🤔

Could be a good course. Slow play, terrible groundskeeping, tee boxes are atrocious. For the price course should be pristine. Hornets all over a couple of greens. Lastly, people who play here don’t help much, ball marks all over the greens… but what else do you expect from Staten islanders

Horrible Conditions

The back nine is in horrible condition, Hornets all over the greens that you can’t finish holes, tee boxes are dirt, and sand traps are like cement! How are you charging these prices when the course is in this condition?
