Clearview Park Golf Course

I have played this course many times, but this day really impressed me. The greens were in pristine condition and rolled far better than I recall them doing here.
Someone on staff has really stepped up their game and has made this course better than it's been!

Forgiving wide fairways, pretty straight course. You can get frustrated when the greens have divots all over them. But overall, it's a nice course to walk and play.

This course has comfortble atmosphere, great conditions, and friendly staff, it's worth to play at here next time.

This course is a very good NYC muni course. It is long enough to let you use every club in your bag. It is also a forgiving course, except if you're playing against the fence. This is also a very crowded course, peak times usually result in a 5 hour or more round. Mid summer late afternoon rounds a very enjoyable with great sunset views of the Throggs Neck bridge.

Great time of year to play but there were too many leaves to hide your ball - hit a few in the middle of the fairway but lucky to find it when you get to it. I even lost a few from the fairway as tons of leaves are blown by the wind. Someone needs to be out there blowing them - Oh, there was the 7th green with fallen acorns all over the green. Why can't someone tend the green and clear it at intervals.

Although this was a nice course and well kept the round took a little over 5 hours to play. It seemd like they over booked and send everyone right out creating a long wait at the previous tees.

This is an easy course but they have put some work into it since I last played it. It's a grip it and rip it course with little need for anything lower than a 7 iron. The greens are in excellent shape for anytime but especially for this late in the season on a heavily played city public course. I played on a Tuesday and which has a $28 special cart included which is great value.

Pace of play too slow. Very busy course on the weekend and seemed overbooked as it took 5:45 for a round that should be 4-4.5 at most. tee boxes were in need of attention and greens as well.. Staff was nice but at $65.00 for a NYC course way over priced. $40.00 is more in price range for this course.

Hadn't played Clearview in at least 15 years because it took over 5 1/2 hours to play. Thought I'd give it another try. Course was in decent condition considering the heat we had this summer. Greens were soft, receptive and fairly slow. But the waiting took the fun out. All tee boxes had at least 1 foursome waiting to hit, with some having 2 foursomes. Left after 14 holes and 4 1/2 + hours. I'm told it's always like this. Won't be returning any time soon.

7:07 tee time went off at 7:40. It took 30 minutes to check in. Waited to hit every shot. $3 to park? Really pay to park at a golf course.

I always enjoy playing here. You mostly can recover from the adjacent fairways- good because I'm a beginner. I like the staff here. I've never played really early, but I'm guessing the afternoons are less crowded.

This is a straight course, no doglegs. Its fun for the average golfer, not much trouble to get yourself into. The greens are good, faster than most munies in the five boroughs. The pace of play is slow however. $3 parking or free if you can find one of the free spots about 100 yards away from the clubhouse at the entrance.

Short course, in decent shape. Greens are rolling good but lots of unfixed divots on the green.

I usually play very early on saturdays and sundays (tee times no later than 5:30). Twice I've played the course and done great time on the front nine, but once I get to the back nine I sometimes have to wait for two or three groups on each tee time!!! Both times I have had rounds of more than 5hrs, one closer to 51/2 hrs. Completely unacceptable, especially going out at that early hour.

ve been going to clearview for many years but are the 21 may 2013, i was to tee off at 12:30 when i was informed that the head manager of the property was going ahead of my group with a playing party of 6 a 6sum!!! not even a 5sum two women and 4 men. it was my worst round in some time. waiting for six peaple to putt on every hole. this manager is supposed to show us the proper way to act on the course. One of the great thing i have loved about the game of golf is course etiquette this flew inthe face of that. At the very least this person,( joe is his first name) should be reprimanded and told to stop thanks for your considerationi ha

The layout at Clearview is very nice and the course is kept in good condition. The holes tend to be narrow, so you have to make your shots and be straight. It's quite common for players to be playing on differemt fairways, which holds up play a bit. The course is not completely level, but certainly walkable. As it gets heavy use, expect delays. Beautiful views of the Throgs Neck Bridge and Long Island Sound while you wait!

Course is well maintain, and staff is very friendly, play early to beat the delay

Had a slower round for a Sunday early in the season. The course was in good shape, but the greens were aerated and not filled properly so lots of bumps. The course is very short (even from the tips) so easy to score well and very straight so not super challenging. This is a great course for the start of a season to get the cob webs off.

Will be back next year again at the start of the season.

I haven't played the course in a few years and hence my current experience was quite different then I recalled. Years ago when the course was maintained by NYC it was always in need of repair/cleaning in the rough. The the course was taken over by a private firm that did miracles. Since it was always open and in a great location, fairways tended to be plush. Now it appears that the fairways are going downhill, and the greens are too slow and probably intended to be 'friendly' or 'forgiving'. But the pace of play was too slow to make it worth returning..........too bad

The course is in good shape and the view of the bridge coming down the back 9 is perfect for a group picture.

Can make for a nice quick round if the course is not packed as it is a little on the short side with lots of straight holes strung together side by side.

Cons:
Rounds can sometimes be long.
Can be expensive for a non NYC resident.
They charge to park in the lot.
