Course Highlights
The course layout earns strong praise, with long par 4s and par 3s offering a genuine challenge balanced by more forgiving par 5s. Conditions consistently impress recent golfers, and the historic setting near New York Harbor adds memorable character to every round.

Great greens - Horrible Fairways

The greens were in great condition, if a little wet at times, but the fairways were abismal. Often times you are hitting off compact dirt even if you are dead center of the fairway. For $80+ I would expect your basic grass at least.

It’s dyker

Always an experience at this course. Conditions have to be as bad as I have ever seen them: fairways and rough more like a sandlot than a golf course. It’s a place to hit the ball

Tees and greens

I am guessing the heatwave affects all courses due to lack of rain/water, fairways dried out. The fairways and most bunkers were in bad shape.

The tee boxes and greens looked pretty good, better than most.

I actually played as a single, and got around in 3hrs, even with pratice shots and puts, so close to breaking 80.

Meh

I’ve given this course a few chances to change my mind. It’s just meh. Golf carts are falling apart - ripped seats, cracked/broken shields, parking break that decides on its own wether or not it’s going to work.

No driving range. Has a chipping area, but no putting green - unless you count a twig jammed into the chipping green as a flag.

Fairways were like a runway. Dead grass and dirt. So hard you couldn’t even divot.

Had to wait on every shot, long round. The course just screams neglect in every aspect except the greens, which were pretty good all around. It was the only saving grace of the course.

Awful Condition

Tee boxes in bad condition. Fairways parched. Greens ok but lots of divots. Bunkers have little or no sand. It was like playing off hard pan if you landed in one. Way overpriced for what you get.

A Real Shame

At one time Dyker Beach Golf course was the best and most popular muni course in NYC.

Those days are in the past.

The greens were extremely slow and bumpy.

The bunkers were unplayable and the fairway were all browned out.

The real shame is it’s a great layout in a great location and could be great again with proper care and investment.

Sand hornet problem

The course wasn’t too bad. Greens were very nice. Staff was amazing. But every bunker was infested with sand hornets. It made it very uncomfortable and at times

Impossible to hit in or near the bunkers. The fairways were also in pretty rough shape. All in all I enjoyed my time but due to the hornet problem I don’t think I’ll be returning soon

They’re lost control of this course

Teed off 40 minutes after our tee time. Pace was abysmal. Three hours to do front nine. Course is bone dry and hard. Bunkers are trashed. Literally. There is trash everywhere in them. This used to be a good course but they can’t keep up with all the new golfers. Hopefully they figure this out soon.

American Golf sucks

American Golf's contract to manage this course (and two others on Staten Island) expires in Jan. 2024. They stopped caring about these courses back in early 2020. I won't play any of these courses again until new management takes over. They'll have some incentive to attract paying customers.

Arguably the worst course I’ve ever played

Fairways were rock hard and tight, bunkers were full of pebbles, pace of play was terrible, food was subpar and staff was ok. I’ve played harder fairways in AZ mid July I’d give you $1000 if you could take a divot at this place. If you want to waste your money on a muni come here! Sell this property back to Brooklyn and frack it. I’d feel better knowing this plot was used as a parking lot. Never playing here again.
