Dyker Beach Golf Course

Course in tough condition from Covid. Sand traps filled with crabgrass. Greens slow but not too choppy Tees grass thin if there. Ok if one plays lift clean and place. Otherwise quite playable.

Course was beat up with unplayable bunkers. Better courses in other boroughs for cheaper.

I understand the city has had a tough time focusing on things outside of immediate efforts to address the pandemic. But the condition of Dyker Beach was incredibly poor. Every sand trap overgrown with crabgrass, trees felled all over the course, crab grass everywhere, fairways with exposed dirt everywhere. There’s poor condition and then there is what we encountered at Dyker. Really nice people working there and a good crowd playing, but seemed like a groundskeeper hadn’t sniffed the course in weeks, if not longer.

Love this course but it’s in shocking condition. Avoid for the rest of the season. They let it go over the winter and even with three months rest it’s awful. Fairways are very patchy. Bunkers are full of greenery. Greens are decent though. Feel bad for the nice people working there.

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
