Dyker Beach Golf Course

Conditions were bad.

I was expecting it because it’s winter but it was worse than I thought.

Course was good and pace of play we real good...Greens were a little rough but it is February in Brooklyn, NY. Really good course for the money...

Beautiful day to get out today. Place was not crowded. Staff always courteous and helpful. Course was in good condition. Played with a very nice couple. Enjoyed my day. Wish there could be more throughout the winter!! Lol

Dyker is my favorite layout of the city courses by far. Great variation of holes. Although crowded today, we still got around in less than 5 hours. For January the conditions were immaculate!

3 foursomes on every hole. No rangers to move people along. No refreshment carts to rehydrate you while you suffer from the horror you are witnessing...fairways horribly....greens have 100+ unfixed ballmarks...holes everywhere...what a terribly run place....they only care about getting your $75+ instead of pacing the play on the first hole. I'll never recommend or play this course ever again....

Played here on 11/27. Course was in the shape you expect it to be in for November. This course isn’t too challenging, good course for beginners. It’s almost impossible to lose a ball. I think they are crazy still charging people summer rates to play this course this time of the year. If you can get a good deal on golf now it’s worth it just to get out. Otherwise do not pay over $60 to play here in the winter

Course is pretty beat up but that’s somewhat expected this late in the season. Burned out areas (No grass at all) in some fairways and on greens. But it’s golf in Brooklyn so it is what it is I guess.

Course has some interesting holes but is relatively open (not too many trees) and can definitely get busy (slow) on weekends. I play at Van Cortlandt up in the Bronx a lot so this can be a nice change of pace and is also accessible by subway.

Love playing this course because it’s so close to home. Feels like I’m in the country while playing here. It’s a nice get away without the long drive.

Although they charged me for a no show (in which I was present) it was good for what it’s worth

10 minute walk from the R. The course is part of a wedding venue so the property is great. Can get a bit backed up on par 3’s but you’re playing in NYC. Highly recommend

My Brother in-law and I had a great time. It’s always nice to get away from city life while you’re still actually in the city.

Tee boxes were all sand and dirt. No grass. Golf carts were filthy and probably hadn’t been cleaned in months. When we finished our round at 1:30 people were waiting for carts. The course doesn’t have enough of them. Cart paths were rutted and full of potholes. The course has no restrooms except in the pro shop. Course design is very basic. No interesting holes. Greens are sandy and not well kept.

Dyker was in good shape, all things considered, in the late spring and early summer. But the conditions have severely worsened over the past month or so. Weeds are beginning to overtake fairways, tee boxes are devoid of grass, and the greens are rolling like concrete sidewalks. Approach shots weren’t biting and putts were rolling much faster - and not in a good way - than usual.

There is no fairway. Only seeded low cut grass that has absolutely no softness. Good shots to fairway are not rewarded and instead penalized by hitting off of something that feels like a pool table. Greens are dirt with some grass sprinkled in, literally patchy grass and black dirt. Tee boxes are patchy grass covered in a layer of sand. On top of that, a worker ran over my ball with a lawnmower, chopping off the top of it. The ball was in the second cut, highly visible. This is not a course worth the convenience of its location, and certainly not worth $70+ for a round.

Course remains a real good layout, pace of play was remarkably good, and a proper mix of challenging / accessible hole locations. Turf at the moment is less than ideal. Played back in early July and the course was better than I remembered from the past (been playing Dyker on and off for 35 years). Recently top-dressed greens (sand was pretty grainy) showed signs of significant wilt and some disease. Same stressed turf in many fairways. If you roll it over in short grass it's not a problem. I bet the conditions will improve as cooler weather settles in this fall.

I'll make the trip to Dyker if I want to hit more than Driver / wedge on par fours. Dyker requires hitting most of the clubs in the bag, especially if the wind is blowing off the water. Staff is great. Hot weather and less traffic likely the reasons for unusually quick pace.

The course today was in poor condition and it’s really unacceptable. It did not look like it was cut or groomed in days and the green was dried out. Balls were getting lost in the fair way and the rough was way too long. This caused the pace of play to be very slow and a lot of balls getting lost. I would like a refund for how bad it was today. It doesn’t look like I will go back there.
