I Recommend This Course
Excellent local track, able to commute via NYC public transportation
With one of the first groups out on a Tuesday morning, pace was quick at 3 hrs 40 minutes. Previously play on the 4th of July and the course conditions are still better than decent considering the amount of play this track gets. I enjoy this place because holes are classic designed. Not a walker friendly track so golf cart is a must. For NYC residents that do not own a vehicle, this place is popular because it's reachable by subway. Just like my last review, its nice to see funds we put in the new clubhouse and course.

Historic course, worth it for the $.
I mean, Babe Ruth played here! It has lots of mature trees and hazards, which you get with older courses. It' not long, but neither and I so it was a good fit.
Pace: Horrible!. We teed off at 2:30 for a 2 pm time. Waited on every shot on every hole. They would not even give us a cart (had to wait for someone turning theirs in) until after our tee time.
Condition: Some spots are poorly maintained or beat up, the greens are bumpy and on the slow side. Condition was a 6 out of 10.
Cart paths: Some are real kidney busters on an electric cart. There is sometimes 1/4 mile or more between a green and the next tee.
Summary: To play on a bit of history at a not-too-challenging course, it was worth it for sure.
