Dyker Beach Golf Course

great day to golf - thanks again

matt

Worse then the excruciating slow pace of play was the almost 1 hour delay teeing off. A 9:56 should not be going off at 10:53!!!

Walked off after 9 holes because of delayed start and slow play.

Never Again

Played on a holiday weekend and was able to get an early tee time no problem. Staff was great. Course was in fine shape and very playable. Only issue was three holes sprinklers came on when we were getting ready to putt and had to wait for them to shut up before resuming play. Other then that great round!!!

The course is well maintained given the amount of play it gets. Greens are in good shape which is what's most important. Layout isn't anything special but it's very hilly so it offers good practice for uneven lies. The course is pretty open and plays longer than one would expect. Hitting long irons well can really help you score well.

Teedoff 50 minutes late all golfers were upset

Lots of leaves hard to find ball greens fine would love to play in summer played with local guy he was a gent helped me with the course nice guy iam from ireland so had to rent clubs they were fair staff were nice i wanted to buy ball maker as a gift they had none disapointed out off 10 /6

Since we are in autumn and the leaves are off the trees and on the ground it is usually hard to find your ball. Not so here. The grounds keepers did a beautiful job of getting rid of the leaves.
Also, I booked at golfnow and paid in full but when I got to the pro shop they said I owed the total amount due. So make sure you print out your receipt. The counter person was more than accommodating and the issue was resolved without incident

You play this game long enough, you run into badly managed courses. Since Dyker beach gets so much play, the place is basically a cash cow so they don't give too much about unhappy customers. From having shot gun outings on weekends with no warning or flyers to the sleepyhead guy working the pro shop who decides to show up just before 7:00 am, this place is what it is.

great course in nice shape...staff was pleasant enough and pace of play was tolerable...would definitely come back

Pretty good value for the money - $40 for 18. Dyker is a solid old-school parkland layout. It's quite short, but there are still some good and challenging shots to be made. The greens were in really excellent shape - firm, quick and shockingly true given the amount of play it gets. Some of the greens have some real character and complexity that the quickness brought out beautifully. They must have a new greenskeeper who really knows what he is doing. If they would just fix up a few of the tee boxes, this course would be a borderline hidden gem.

Separately, it's a super-easy walk and have nice views of the bridge and Poly Prep campus.

Nice course in Brooklyn! When in Brooklyn do as the Brooklynites.

If you have 5 1/2 hours to take from your day, play this course!

Being one of the most played course, the conditions are surprisingly as good as it usually is. Course is located in a awesome neighborhood of Bensonhurst so people playing this course are the most part friendly. Layout is relatively flat, fairways are wide and overall course is short. A big hitter would definitely eat this course up for lunch. I play this course frequently because of location and super deals they give out. Usually the two for Tuesday deals.

The best deal in NYC !!! The course is always on good shape.

WHEN YOU PLAY GOLF AT DYKER YOU FEEL THAT YOUR IN THE COUNTRY NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF NYC. THE 18 HOLES OFFER PARS RANGING FROM THREE TO FIVE AND THE COURSE IS PERFECT FOR BOTH THE SEASONED AND BEGINNER GOLFER.THE STAFF IS VERY FRIENDLY , KNOWLEDGEABLE AND ACCOMODATING. PEOPLE WHO ARRIVE BY CAR HAVE NO PROBLEM PARKING AS THERE IS A HUGE PARKING LOT. PEOPLE DRIVE TO DYKER FROM SUFFOLK AND WESTCHESTER COUNTIES AND FROM NEW JERSEY.I HAVE PLAYED GOLF WITH BOTH THE YOUNG AND OLD AT DYKER AS WELL AS AN OCCASIONAL TOURIST FROM EUROPE. I RECOMMEND THAT EVERYONE PLAY A ROUND AT DYKER AS IT IS REALLY A :GEM OF A GOLF COURSE.

Everything about it was slow. Slow start. We started 40 minutes after our reserved tee time. Slow pace of play. Waited about 5 minutes every hole. Slow greens. Greens were terribly slow. Needed to hit with full swings to go 12 feet. Ball would slow down going down a hill.

Be sure to call the course before you play and ask about aeration schedule. They don't tell you and don't discount you at all for poor course conditions as the better courses do. They also put as many players as humanly possible, no staggered tee times, all they want is money. Expect a very long day.

Most poorly run course anywhere. Five to six hour rounds are the norm, and golfers can expect the course to be running 45 minutes to 90 minutes behind in tee times. They often allow 5-somes, golfers without clubs. and marshal's are scarce.
The course is OK, but beat up by too much use, and you will be aggravated for sure if you survive 18 holes.

The last time I played this course was over ten years ago. Plenty has changed for the better. It's great to see the Clubhouse being used for various enterprises, new restaurant, quaint Pro Shop, and other facilities. Friendly staff, challenging but slow greens which you'll get used to after a few holes, a very nice Academy Training Center. I brought a friend in from Chicago who requested playing golf within the city limits, and he was pleasantly surprised, and pleased with the conditions. My friend never felt like he was on a New York City course with so much greenery, and barely signs of the outside other than sirens, and a few horns blowing. Played Monday morning and the round was just over 4 hours, but moving. I would recommend this course to a friend.

I live in Brooklyn but will not subject myself to this torture again. Played on 7/26/15 and walked off the course after playing 12 holes in 4 1/2 hours. The marshals have no idea how to keep groups moving, and the starter is buddies with most of the regulars so don't be surprised if a foursome gets slipped in front of you at the last minute. Do yourself a favor and travel the extra hour to find a course other than Dyker. Your golf experience will be much better any place else but here. It's really too bad because this place could be so much better if managed properly.
If you want to enjoy a nice round of golf go somewhere else.
