Dyker Beach Golf Course

The course is in decent shape but having a 10:12am tee time and waiting an hour to tee off, waiting on every shot and then finishing the 9th hole at 1:55pm was too much for this golfer to endure. The pace of play was going to be 7 hours based on the 3.5 hour front 9. Simply unacceptable. That said if I can get there on a Tuesday, Wed or Thurs I would go back.

Nice course. Well kept and a gem within Brooklyn. But maybe it was the holiday weekend but we started about an hour after our reserved tee time. Took almost 6 1/2 hours to finish.

I booked a 7:48 AM foursome but was only able to tee off at 8:35! So why sell a slot when they have a regular mens club outing that morning??? Facility is nice but time management is close to non-existent.

When I arrived, I was told the course was "wide open out there." Nothing could have been further from the truth. On the back 9, I waited An eternity at each tee, and before most shots really. It reached a point where it affected my playing, as it felt like every single shot I hit was my first shot of the day. When you wait that long that often, you can't get into any kind of groove, and it stops being fun. The group in front of me had absolutely no business on a golf course and should only be on a range, and they were not the only ones. Many of the greens were in awful shape too. Living in Manhattan my options are limited, but I have had enough of this place.

Had a great time at this course. Fun and well maintained. Only issue was the spacing, the Marshal did not do a great job of timing the rounds

Love to play nine then go to work. Staff gets me checked in and on the tee very quickly

I made the mistake of inviting some friends from Staten Island to play here on a Friday morning. I was unaware that an outing was scheduled for 1:00Pm the same day , thus we were informed that they were double teeing. This led to us playing this Hidden Jem in 3.5 hrs and having a nice lunch before noon. .Too add everyone that works there has a smile that I think is fKe but can't tell because they actnso nice. Whatever stay away!!

I went on a Tuesday and the pace of play was very slow on the front but opened up a bit on the back. I've been back since on a Monday and it was much better. My GolfNow reservation was somehow moved back 15 minutes and we still went off 30 minutes after that. Course is in great shape and I think a lot of fun to play. I also wish they had a pull cart to rent as its a great walking course.

our tee-time was 8.44 a.am. We started at 9.44.
the front nine takes 3 1/2 hours. There was nobody present to change this slow playing. We had to brake after 12 holes, bacause our flight back to Germany was waiting for us.
There were also no Fittingrooms.

I am very much looking forward to my next round at Dyker Beach...the course was in great playing condition but the pace of play was slower then it needed to be. A couple of marshalls arround the course to ensure players are keeping up with the pace of play is recommended. I

It is always nice when playing a course where it is in great shape, fairways & greens were impressive, highly recommend to friends.

Really enjoyed my round at Dyker -- place was in great shape. Excluding a few tee boxes on the back 9 -- views are wonderful, I went out early so I got a head of the older players but wouldn't mind spending more time here. The title says it all … i'll go back.

The course was in pretty good shape after the harsh winter we had. Still see some evidence of airation but that will go away. Great pace of play. I will chalk that up to the 6:15 tee time we had.

This course has great feature.
I been played so many time
Every time challenge.fun.

The course is really well maintained, and has several challenging holes. Really good for a NY muni course, my favorite one in the ny metro area.

Early spring and it's great to be back on the course. Even though the course is still recovering from a long difficult winter,, playing at this time of the year can be fun. The trees are not yet in full bloom so the course appears wider and more forgiving. The fairways had just been aerated, so no roll on fairway. This requires a different approach and strategy That can make it feel very much like a different course.

The course had several provisional greens and atleast a dozen aerated greens. I received no pre-notification of the conditions and we paid FULL PRICE.
...FAIL

It took 3hr and 15min to play 9 holes. We paid for 18 holes and only got to play 9 . We had scheduled a 12:12 tee time and got to the course at 11:45. Our group stood on the 1st tee for at least 45 min. before we could too off. The course really could use a starter and course marshall to speed up play and keep things moving. There was at least a 15 to 20 min wait on each of the first 6 holes. After the 6th wait time was only about 10 min. . I would not play this course again.

This course is wide, flat and well maintained so it is good for practice. But it was crowded in weekend.

Played a couple of rounds on weekends.

Pros:
* Easy to get to by train
* Good greens -very fast (and less break than you read)
* Moderately Challenging (no water in play, but some long holes and greens guarded by bunkers that are decently maintained)

Cons:
* 5+ hour rounds (atleast on Weekends)
* Dry fairways and greens (means tough to control the distance even from fairway and certainly from around the greens)
* No driving range
* No walking pull carts for rent

Overall, it is kept in better condition than other public courses in NYC (which have the same 5 hour round problem). So overall, i would recommend Dyker.

Beware : the greens are faasst! I took 8-10 holes to get used to it.

If someone from Dyker is reading, please get a ranger and enforce pace of play!
