Dyker Beach Golf Course

The course is challenging and fun to play. Tee boxes were in good shape, and minus lazy people not fixing their ball marks, the greens were in great shape!
Still it is a public course, that is over populated with a lot of people who I wouldn't describe as good at golf. For that reason you get major back ups and a lot of small annoyances like unraked sand traps and greens full of ball marks.
For me, that drastically drives down the value of your round. I feel like $70 for a weekend round is far too expensive. But that is what you pay at any of the NYC public courses, and this is still by far my favorite. So what can you do...?

Not a bad track for being so close to the city. It's not difficult and good for beginners, hence the long round. Conditions are good for a public course with nicely kept greens. There should be Marshall's to speed up play, but at least they have a cart girl!

Dyker Beach was a nice course. One of the best maintained public courses I have ever played. Has some tough par 3's and a couple long par 5's. Waiting on tee boxes was bit of an issue from about the 8th hole on which really can mess with your rythem. Other than that nice course

If you stay in the fairway, you have a great chance at shooting the round of a lifetime. The fairways are wide open for the most part. Rough is not difficult to get out of. Greens are quick and very well maintained at the moment. Tee boxes are reasonably clean. Fairways are reasonably clean as well.

I played yesterday, Saturday July, 6th. There was absolutely nobody on the golf course which resulted in a very, very quick round. I took my time as there was no one behind me or in front of me and it was about 90 degrees in the open. Plenty of water breaks.

Staff was great, rangers kept me company as I was the only one within 5 holes of me. Gave me advise and shot the breeze. The 3.5-4 hr round is not normal and was told to me they have never seen anything like it. I just got lucky. Listen, all courses in the Manhattan commutable area are going to be packed. There is nothing you can do about it. THat being said, this is a nice course and I will be certainly be visiting it in the near future.

Nice course friendly staff, drink cart came around often, a bit busy but to be expected on Father's Day.

the greens are hard too read. the lines are off by 2ins and the greens are bumy.

The course provided it' share of challenging par five's and four's. water does not come into play on the course but there are some well guarded greens. The food is really good here, as the catering facility is top notch. I enjoyed the friendliness of the staff immensely and will now make this my go-to course within the city

reality is if, and that's a big if, some money was spent and some members of the staff followed the good examples set by their colleagues this could be an unparalleled muni course. raise the greens fees by $20 and put those funds to use. the end result would be an incredible course costing you $60 a round. and that round would be completed within 4 1/2 hours.

unfortunately, you pay $40, the greenskeepers literally drive over and through your shots, you play winter rules year around and it can take 5 to 7 hours for 18.

the potential is unlimited, Marine Park can be a ton better. and should.

Born and raised in Brooklyn about one mile from the course. My favorite course to play among the two in Brooklyn and the three in Staten Island. It's a very nice layout and an easy course to walk. Play can be slow and the course is a bit pricey, but worth playing if you can get a discounted price or the reduced afternoon rate.

ALWAYS ENJOY PLAYING THIS COURSE, YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF BROOKLYN.
