Dyker Beach Golf Course

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Not sure which was worse, the goose poop on the fairways (every where) or the sand coated greens but it made for a frustrating round. Luckily the weather was pleasant and the pace of play was good. It’s also the first time I see a temporary green made in the middle of a fairway, 8th hole. I must admit someone was creative with the tee markers, please see picture attached.

Greens, fairways and bunkers are in below average condition. For them to charge $65 a round is preposterous considering they aren’t keeping up with the quality of the course.

Excuses for poor rating winter and covid.

The location is still amazing I can just jump in the subway and play golf.

In the past this course was maintained very well, but since the pandemic it has been virtually left alone and is not enjoyable to play at anymore

The course located in the city and a lot of people play golf there, yet the course condition is fairly good to play .
