Dyker Beach Golf Course

Jj

Had a 10:32 teatime on a beautiful Friday, wasn’t on the box until 11:10. The course could be great except it’s not, some fairways are great and the course allows you to use your diver a lot. The grass is very thin on the fairway and is extremely firm all over the course - and this was the day after rain.

Some of the greens are unplayably hard. Zero give to them at all. You’ll hit a beautiful Iron it’ll land perfectly on the green and somehow runoff the back every single time. The greens have zero divots in them because they are so hard.

With a 1032 time I finished playing at 3:35

It sounds like a lot of the complaints come from people expecting a private club experience at a public course. Public courses in places like Brooklyn , Queens and the Bronx are naturally going to play slower because you’ve got amateurs, casual golfers, and weekend players all sharing the course — that’s just part of the experience.

The staff here has always been friendly and accommodating, the course itself is in great shape, and the grounds crew deserves credit for keeping it maintained so well. They’re courteous, hardworking, and clearly take pride in the course.

For the people constantly leaving negative comments about pace of play: if you want a faster, more exclusive experience, maybe a private club is a better fit. Otherwise, relax and enjoy the round.

Was concerned about tee time and pace of play given other reviews but played in 4 hours. Course in decent shape, greens are slow and rugged but it is muni golf. Everyone was friendly.

My buddy and I had a 12:48pm tee time. There’s no driving range or practice green here, so we arrived at 12:20-12:25. When we are passing the first tee we see a fleet of golf carts. We teed off a whole half hour after our booked time. When I asked the starter what caused they delays, he simply replied, “it happens”

The round itself took us 4hours and 45 minutes to get through.

The condition of the course itself it’s actually very well maintained. Maybe the tee times are too close together and/or no one enforcing pace of play.

The geese went to town on the course, every fairway covered. The greens were sand covered, unpredictable rolls. A good front layout but the back has risky par threes, fore!!!!

Dyker Beach Golf Course offers a very nice layout and is well-maintained, with the course in great condition. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the overall experience enjoyable. A solid choice for a round of golf in the area.

Started at 1:52 and was able to play 18 before 6:02

Green where in great shape.

Our tee time was delayed by about 45 minutes, there are zero carts available and the backup on the course is tough. The tee boxes are great and not great, depends what hole you’re on. If it was a cheaper price I wouldn’t complain but for what we paid it is definitely NOT worth it.

We started our round at 3:21 and we thought that would be ample time to complete 18 holes. However, the starter was quite miserable and didn’t enjoy his job whatsoever. He drove around asking us to be done while on the 14th hole. What a disappointment. The place has loads of potential and is cool experience with views of Brooklyn and the Verrazano bridge in the background. Some of the tee boxes were also just straight sand. Unfortunately won’t be racing back to this course.

I was axsingle joined by 3 other players, all gentlemen who no matter the level of their play were courteous and new the rules. There was a teen tournament which should have been supervised because the pace of play was excruciatingly slow.

Someone who was running the tournament as well as members of your staff should have moved that group along.

Otherwise our foursome enjoyed our play!

The course is in decent shape and has improved drastically over the years. That being said pace of play and price for value can be an issue. Not many better options and met some decent people, will return.

The employees seem disinterested in doing their job at all, and there's always a large backup/slow play, but other than that it's a nice course. There also aren't enough golf carts so you need to hawk down someone finishing 18 and grab their cart.
