Clearview Park Golf Course

I don’t know why I even bothered. I played this course 3-4 years ago and it only got worse. I figured maybe things got figured out, dead wrong. Conditions got worse and the pace is still as awful as it was 4 years ago. You are seriously better off not playing than giving this course a shot.

First time playing here today - nice course - greens are a little rough. Would play there again.

I have played this course many times over several years and it’s been a steady decline. Pace of play is horrendous, five hour plus rounds are the norm here.

No ranger to regulate the pace of play. If you call the pro shop regarding this matter your call will be ignored. Unkempt greens are terrible. They’re full of pot marks, due to ball marks and divots not being repaired. By comparison to other courses, Clearview

is still charging some of the most expensive rates around for such meager playing conditions.

I play here when all other courses are booked, and a Hotdeal on GolfNow is available, but even with a Hotdeal it’s really not worth the money.

It was my first time playing in this course and being a beginner I found the course , yes..wide forgiving with nice flat woodland fairways, tricky greens at a rate of $59. I reserved online and we started teeing off once we got in.The pace of play was fine for me as a beginner but my seasoned co players said we had quite of a waiting time on some holes.

A

Lot of work is needed on both greens and fairways. Pace is really slow we

Played 4 1/2 hr round today.

In New York City golf course?!!

It’s fine

All staffs very very kindly

I love it this course like a family

The putting green is too bad. I don't want to go again.

You call this a golf course? It’s more like dog tracks! Weeds on patchy bumpy greens! Weeds in bunkers with disappearing sand! Tee boxes with overgrown weeds like goose pit! Someone please fire the management.

They make you share a golf cart with a stranger During covid

The tee boxes and greens were beat up and poorly maintained. There were quite literally chunks missing from many of the greens (although I will say the back 9 is much nicer than the front). Staff is friendly and it’s a cheap course, but the price is reflected in the conditions. Also, it took us 5.5 hours to finish because of how slow the pace of play was. Waiting on every single hole. It’s a good course if you want to have a laugh with some of your buddies, but would NOT recommend if you’re looking for a serious round of golf

I had not played Clearview in over 10 Years. I wish that I could say that I missed it. It is at best a marginal test. A par 70 with 12 par 4s that play largely in tree lined corridors up and back. I realize that the parcels terrain may have led to this routing but it lacks inspiration. Only one or two real doglegs No 6 and 12. And they run parallel across the property. There are also two par 3s, No 4 and 16 that run cross the property. The fairway corridors are spacious and it is good learning course. The greens were quite bumpy and a bit patchy. They were also rock hard and repelled even wedges. That could be due largely to the weather it has been dry but I am unsure. A redesign might be in order possibly using the pond near the Clubhouse could improve the layout. Also maybe some bunkering in the fairways and green side could add variety

Believe all the negative reviews you read. And they can’t blame COVID. I play at Kissena, Forest Park, and Mariner Park and they all are better. Do $72 you get Greens that are bare and the ones that had grass were so bumpy. The tee boxes were no better. Course management should be fired with no exception. Or bring on new ownership. They should be ashamed to charge $ 72 for this course.

Play the other municipals. You won’t regret it.

I had played this course years ago, and recently I read the really bad reviews post-COVID. I went in expecting very little and I think that helped. It’s early in the growing season so I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but other courses on LI don’t have the same issues. The greens are really patchy in some spots, but others are okay. Fairways are sort of the same story, some spots are patchy while others are okay. If you’re willing to roll the ball a bit you’ll be okay. I’m not sure what it will take for the course to bounce back, but with the traffic it sees it’ll be tough to see a bounce back coming. Pace of play was slow, we teed before 9 and it took about 5 hours, a little more, but it was a Saturday in NYC, I’m not sure that’s unexpected.

Fairways are acceptable but greens are terrible. No work being done. Staff is not very friendly and your not permitted to ride alone without an exorbitant double fee. This is the only course in New York where this extra fee is required.

Terrible awful greens, nonexistent fairways, just butchered in general. If I had the choice to play here again or stay home I’d stay home.

The course was in good shape for this time of year and the pace was good.
