Dyker Beach Golf Course

There are lots of courses with mediocre or boring layouts that can get by because of good conditions.

This place has a boring layout but what it is missing is a white line around the property indicating Ground Under Repair. It is a mess.

The fairways are roughs, the roughs are untended, the greens are bumpy and inconsistent.

If I played there for free I would think that I had overpaid.

I am sure there are good reasons for this fall from relative grace but I don't care.

It is a metaphor for our current times

I live a half mile from this course but rarely play it because of mediocre conditions and management. My foursome took a chance on August 6th and regretted it. We teed off 40 minutes late even though we were each charged a $4 reservation fee. It seems to me that American Golf, which manages the course, has decided it won’t put any work into its nyc courses this year. We didn’t see a single maintenance worker on the course.Tee boxes are very bad with more dirt and weeds than grass. Fairways offer very few playable lies with lots of hardpan and weeds. Bunkers are totally unkept with 12 inch weeds more prevalent than sand. Greens are in poor condition with lots of bald spots and dry yellow grass. On top of the lousy conditions, there isn’t a Marshall to be seen anywhere. Our round took almost 5 hours and we couldn’t wait to get off the course. We won’t be back any time soon. Spend your money where management at least tries to keep the course up.

Need Improvement all around , lower the price or fix everything.

I want a refund

Course after hurricane is expected but putting green closed and bunkers are jungles.

Disappointed

I usually like this course, but between the heat and shutdown it probably won’t be back in good shape until next year. The bunkers are weed gardens.

Save your money!!! They have let this course completely go. I understand it’s tough times but that’s no excuse for the condition and not to have one single person working on the course. Sand traps are full of grass and weeds, some fairways are horrible, tee boxes are dirt, and greens are ok - the grass on the greens was long and they def weren’t rolled. I will not be coming back here until they fix it up, not worth the 75 on a weekend for the conditions.

To much money to play on this course that’s not in good shape. Bunkers full of crab grass and dirt. Some fairways are burnt up

Course was nice but the bunkers and tee boxes need some improvement. But overall good place to play

Course was in the worse condition I’ve seen maybe ever, grass growing out of all the bunkers, half the tee boxes had no grass. Greens were super slow and bumpy. Play somewhere else.

Have been playing this course for over 20 years and they have let it go, it’s a complete dog track with trees growing out of the sand traps. They can’t blame covid because it has been going down hil for quite sometime now.

Sorry but u have to maintain the course, i heard the workers were furloughed. grounds were HORRIBLE! but the golf was good, the greens were Ok, the pace of play was good, 4.5 hrs. I will play here again but it will be awhile

The course could be very nice, but they are very lazy in the upkeep. The club house has weeds that are growing like trees. All the sand traps are filled with weeds. They maintain the course enough to make it playable but not much more.

Definitely not worth $65. Staff was nice, but one of the worst conditions I’ve seen a golf course in. We would take our balls out of the sand trap instead of hitting them out of those death pits. Not maintained whatsoever/overgrown/hard as rock. Fairways were decent, greens below average. Garbage cans overfilled and spilling over the course. Would not recommend.

The bunkers are over grown with weeds and hornets and some teeboxes are unplayable. Most greens and fairways are in good shape. They don’t have any lunch as they have in the past so bring food or plan your tee time accordingly. In the past the course has been good and needs to get back to that.

Played Dyker today for the first time in over 20 years. Wish I would have waited a bit longer and play my usual Staten Island and New Jersey courses.

Let’s start with the good : the greens were in decent shape ( a bit slow) and the tee boxes were in for shape

The bad; fairways were horrible with many areas looking like a softball field outfield. Dry , burnt and patchy with more hard pan that actual grass.

The rough was recently cut in many areas and was so overgrown there was dead decomposing grass a few inches high in spots.

Had a fun time with some new and old friends but I won’t be returning to Dyker anytime soon. For the price , there are much better courses in SI and Jersey.
