Marine Park Golf Course

It has been at least 15 years (maybe more) since playing Marine Park and WOW! It is amazing what dedication, vision and money can do to a formerly public NY course. I was blown away with how much this course improved. Back when my friends and I played we constantly needed to find a patch of grass on the fairway to at least try to hit from. Not anymore.
Hats off to the owners and staff. Long holes that are perfect for wood players. Go for it.... Enjoy.

So we got there right on time and the gentleman who was at the register in the pro shop gave us an attitude saying we were late! Rather than getting us on our way he proceeded to lecture me and my friend on why it is important to arrive earlier, we tried to get there earlier to hit some practice balls but we hit unexpected traffic instead. We got out on the course and the pace was ok, we were a 2 top and the group ahead was 4 so delays were expected. The holes were challenging but we always want a good challenge anyway. The only complaint I have about the course is that it is not well maintained in certain areas, I notice I was hitting some shots out of the rough and there were broken glass bottles at my feet. The greens on the other hand were awesome, very well maintained, the reason for a poor review was the gentlemans customer service skills, and the course having several holes with broken glass bottles.

My first time at Marine Park. The fairways are long and wide but there is plenty of long grass to grab your ball if you don't hit straight. The greens are large, fast and sloping so putting is hard. From time to time you catch a view of Manhattan and there is a constant breeze, sometimes a full out wind, which carries the smell of the sea.
I was paired with two guys who are good players and we finished the front 9 in 1.5 hours. I was told this is not normal, and not to expect it again. I live in Westchester County and am used to 5-6 hour rounds, so I was in heaven, playing so quickly.

I will definitely come back, and recommend this course highly.

The course is being worked upon. The future looks quite good.

this is a really good course to play golf.it is well maintained. the best thing is you book your tee time and you start at the reserved time. the staff is very friendly and helpful. there is a ranger there to keep the pace. go play there and you will like it!

I got a golf now hot deal, and it was well worth it. It plays long, even on middle tees, and the greens play extremely fast. The cart paths need improvement, but overall it was worth what I paid.

when i walked through the front lobby and took a look at the 'new Marine park" i said wow.
the last time i played this course it was considered a cow pasture, burnt up fairways,and greens, sand all along the edge of the fairways broken bottles a broken fence you just shook your head.. i was in awe at the new marine park, from the moment i paid my greens fee,till the moment i finished the 18th hole, simply amazing. the staff is very friendly , the fairways were spectacular ,the greens were in great shape and challenging just amazing, the only down fall was the pace of play, my round was a 5hr round, i am not complaining because i started just like the 4 some in front of us, so i take it in stride.. i know early mornings should have a good pace per round, but in all a great place friendly and clean
ill will be playing there in the future.

It was my first time playing this course. Beautiful links course, well kept greens & fairways, friendly steff, great clubhouse facilities, nice driving range (irons only) and practice putting greens. My only complain is the pase of play - five and half hrs for 18 holes. They need more rangers to speed things up.

Paid $20...hot deal. Course is in great condition. Greens are the best...super fast and true. Course can be windy sometimes...great practice areas. I highly recommend.

Perfect day for golf! Starter let us out before our tee-time, food/drink at the turn was great and the course was in pretty good shape. (Great weather too!) My only "complaint" is that as the course is being turned into a links style with the fescue grass, mounds, etc. the construction process is unsightly and distracting. And it does seem this has been going on for a REALLY long time. Otherwise, a great day!

A great course, with a great design coming back.

Stills need a little TLC. But they are getting there.

Greens..excellent. Fairways....a few rough spots. The new mounds.....native grass still need to grow in.

Views of NYC wonderful.

Keep up the good work. Only complaints 5 & 1/2 Hour Round of Golf & Where are the Rangers to move slow players.

Played the back 9 it was very challenging. Looking forward to playing 18 next time.

A great course to play,wide open fairways to hit the ball hard and wide. The 10th and 11th green is a great challange. You need to have alot of patient, or you may loose your cool.
I highly recommended playing this course more than once.

Quite a challenging course because of its greens which are very slopey but run very true. Condition of course was excellent along with facilities and hospitality.

Thought course was in great shape, staff was very nice,. Would absolutely play there again! Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Driving range is only good for irons..... Tee boxes are in good shape.....fairways are also good...the greens might be the best in the city....awesome, fast like a carpet....love it.....bunkers need some real sand ., that's the only negative I can point out...as well as for the driver range...hopefully they can make it bigger... Enyoy my experience... 19 hole was nice...would like to see some pretty girl working the bar....sorry but that's marketing

Greens were running around an 11 in the morning for an MGA SQR. Had to be faster when we played in the afternoon. Probably the best maintained greens of any course in NYC. Course will eat you alive if you don't have a short game! Great challenge for any golfer.

Great value for a course of this length. I played it on 6/2/14 for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The day I played the wind was very strong and long par 4's into the breeze was a challenge. Leaving the ball above the hole on these greens is big trouble. These are some of the fastest greens and fastest downhill puts I have seen in the area. Just a one inch tap of the ball while putting these results in your ball rolling several feet of the green. Bring your short game, you're going to need it.

Course in excellent shape
greens are perfect
courteous staff
highly recommend

Great links style golf course in great condition but it's insanely windy so prepare yourself for that. The pace was ok for a holiday but did get slow on the back. Great practice area, nice manicured but short driving range. You'd think for a course pushing 7,000 yards you'd be able to hit some drivers on the range first!!! Staff was generally nice. Pretty nice environment.
