sand in rough shape

Bunkers are pretty brutal right now -- they're basically hard mud piles.

Rest of the course is pretty standard for Dyker.

Slow play on concrete conditions

Slow play and no on course ranger to assist. Tee boxes were impenetrable to tee and greens rumbled like the jungle they were. Course should offer refunds for conditions this horrible. Would recommend all golfers to stay away.

Not what it used to be

Other than pace of play which was excellent mainly I’m guessing because no players as course conditions have deteriorated to an very poor condition. Greens ok, but not cut, fairways and tee boxes are a misti[rye of dirt and something green more like crabgrass., I have played this course for well over 20 years and it may well be in the worst condition in all that time. My cart made it through the round though several times I wasn’t quite sure. Needless to say, until I hear differently I will not be back and wouldn’t recommend it to anybody, with hot weather coming, only going to get worse.

Dyker Beach - Golf in Brooklyn - It is what it is!

Course has the original layout which is good for all types of golfers. Unfortunately, the course needs a lot of TLC...greens were pretty good to be fair, tee boxes were bare of grass in spots and uneven, fairways we rock hard and could do with aerating, pathways had pot hits in them and bunkers are unplayable (regulars play them as GIR apparently!!).

The management company could do with putting their hands in their pockets to restore the course back to its original state. It seems to be used as a cash cow with very little invested back into the course. Until then, it is what it is!

Safety

I had to pay a extra fee to avoid sharing a cart. With a stranger. The virus is still with us & we shouldn’t have to pay to share a cart

Not what it used to be

Dyker used to be the premier course in Brooklyn. Now it's just another public course. The fairways are hard as rock, with poor grass, there are downed trees all over, and the greens are in poor condition. Sad to see it fall off like this. Hopefully the staff picks Olyphant their game and gets the course back in shape again!

Definitely an experience

My first time playing NYC golf. While it is not the greatest course in the world, for the money it gets the job done. Course is not too difficult and fun to play. Day was completed by a local youth running onto the course to steal the flag.

Look if you live in the area and find a good deal to play a round it serves the purpose.

Greens almost back from aeration, Bunkers in rough shape

I played Dyker Beach last year and it was in pretty rough shape, so I wanted to give it another chance. The greens and tee boxes are recovering from aeration but should be in decent shape in a couple weeks. Bunkers were better than last year when they had tall weeds growing out of them, but they still have some vegetation in the "sand", which is more like dry dirt in most cases.

For reference, the course has been advised by the NYC parks department that golfers CAN share carts now. So in my case, I had a Hot Deal that included HALF of a cart ($18.50 value). I chose to pair up with someone else (we were both vaccinated), but was given the option by the pro shop to pay an additional $18.50 on top of the Hot Deal to ride in a FULL cart alone ($37 value). There are signs explaining this, that I neglected to read, but the staff did a great job explaining it to me which I really appreciated!

Needs better care

Dyker Beach needs to be maintained better, especially the bunkers. The care seemed to decline during the pandemic and hasn't recovered. I like the track itself, with a good variety of holes, and it's a very good walking course. I would (and did) play with a deal time, just don't be shocked when you see bad bunkers.

Excellent morning round

Great round in the morning. Slight congestion however, it is a popular spot. Greens run fast on a sunny day and carts are excellent. Alway love coming out here when I get a chance too.

Holes seem longer than the ones in queens which I like. Forgiving to say the least lol. Putting skills will be tested!
