Course Highlights
The course layout earns strong praise, with long par 4s and par 3s offering a genuine challenge balanced by more forgiving par 5s. Conditions consistently impress recent golfers, and the historic setting near New York Harbor adds memorable character to every round.

Greens & tee boxes... disaster

Overall, I really like playing at Dyker. However, lately the greens have been in horrendous condition (more brown than green) and tee boxes are just elevated sandtraps at this point. Has great potential if kept up as well as it had been at the beging of the season, but now its just frustrating.

Two good words about Dyker: Near Manhattan!

The course is not in great shape (the fairways are messed up and greens are somewhat green). But it is close to the Manhattan and you are out on a golf course. We got there around 4 pm and we able to get in 18 only because it started raining for about 20 minutes and it cleared out the golf course. Otherwise nine is an accomplishment!

There are all types of golfers on the course and you never know if anyone will call "FORE" after an errant shot. I belong to private course and I enjoy playing there, but I have no problem playing a Dyker. Its always fun even when you are playing behind characters, which you most likely will be. I guess that's what gives it that special charm.

Horrible condition

The course has slowly turned worse and worse. Beautiful layout and lots of great views in the middle of a Brooklyn To bad they dont take care of it anymore.

Disaster

- 5+ hour round

- waited on every tee box

- water coolers empty at 930am (their way of making money on a 90 degree day.. 3$ for a bottle of water)

- tee boxes are dirt and not level

- greens are super slow and the grass length is inconsistent

- people who play this course have no sense of golf edict

- waste of 75 dollars. Do yourself a favor and don’t play here. There are plenty of other courses in this price range that are way better.

- for the quality of this course the greens fees should be 30$ course has no amenities what so ever. No range, a small practice green with no sand trap.

- awful....

Horrific and incompetent management

90 plus degrees and they can’t keep the coolers filled with weather on the course. I call religiously every weekend while on the course to complain and they just don’t seem to care and think it’s ok to have customers suffer in the heat. Management needs to be fired and replaced. Unconscionable!

Very Nice Course

Dyker is a very nice, manageable course. You can shoot a good score, but it has interesting and challenging holes too. We had great weather, fair pace of play.

Course in good shape. Pace of play ruins the day.

Course is well kept. Greens are a bit slow but still in good shape. But a 5+ hour round is still unbearable. Nothing a ranger couldn’t help but the munis never seem to keep one on staff.

Surprising

I have played this course at various times, and I was pleasantly surprised. The greens were in much better condition than I expected, and starter was super helpful and friendly. I am going to give higher than average. Some items of note: tee boxes still need work. But I think it has more to do with cutting trees to help to get more sun as opposed to mgmt not taking care of it. Carts need to be upgraded, and if not just cleaner. But overall for a closest muni course to downtown Manhattan, I would give higher end of 3 stars. Course is sneaky long and tougher back nine.

Late start

Groups ahead of us did not know how to play golf cart golf. As a result only played 14 holes. Not bad for public golf Nice views pretty course.

Another long day on the course...

A good course and nice layout. Mike the starter is a good man. Unfortunately, packed in on Saturday like an italian tuna in a can. No rangers out and about to work on speed of play. For the first 8, not 9, but 8 holes, we ran 3h20m. For the total 18 we ran at 6h32m. At tee boxes starting at #8, we were backed up 3 and 4 four-somes at a time.

On top of it, we had a group of 20 something Williamsburgh j-offs who tee-d off at 1124am hitting up on us and over our heads as we were walking on the greens. Needless to say, I don't believe they found their balls unless they went to the bushes or along 7th avenue.

I enjoy the course but it's a tough one to get people to agree to come back to.

Great Layout, but it ends there...

Honestly, this course has probably the best layout of all NYC public courses, staff is friendly for the most part. Now it’s all down hill from there as the people that play here are the perfect example of why you should not marry your cousin, I’ll leave the rest to your imagination, these kids form of education is watching goodfellas & The Godfather...retardation in Dyker/Bensonhurst is a epidemic....
