Kissena Park Golf Course

Great time playing here. Grounds are very well kept. Nice layout. Love coming here for a early morning round.

Course conditions were absolutely terrible. Rough and grass and is not maintained and for the same price you can play many other beautiful courses in the area. Pace of play was terrible.

Kindly staffs great condition

Some time slow player group front of me

Need marshals for speed control

Specially manager is awesome

Don’t let the Par 64 number fool you. It’s Par 3’s and Pat 4’s that are challenging. You must stay straight with ball or they go bye bye. Fairways were in very good condition and the people working there are second to none.

Tees and greens annual aeration, short par 64 nice course

The pm starter was the only decent part of the day. He was engaging and kept everyone laughing despite a 30 minute delay. The clubhouse attendant was just plain rude

Small course that usually “

Plays a little over 4 hours. Was almost 6 today. Nobody on the course to speed up the pace.

The group in front of us were constantly taking multiple tee shots. Said something to them more then once they could care less

The greens were like concrete only one green was soft. Tee boxes needed a drill to get the tees in. Overall the course was in horrible shape. No need to keep describing

Tee boxes are a mess, greens still have the grid holes in them, basically impossible to keep it on the green from an approach shot.

Kissena is a great short course. Interesting variety of holes that require you to be able to shape some shots left and right to score well. Holes vary widely in diffuculty -- e.g. number 9 is possibly the hardest par 3 in NYC, and number 4 is likely the easiest. There are no holes where you "need" a driver -- in fact most people would score better here with a solid repeatable hybrid or fairway wood -- but 5 or so that are fun grip and rip driver/half-wedge holes, which is good for a short course. Friendly staff and good snack bar with a surprisingly good hand-sliced pastrami on rye. Course condition is generally solid for a muni.

The the annual spring aeration, plus great weather brought a big crowd resulting in a slow round for a par 64 course.

Had a great day of golfing. I was team with some wonderful people. The Tees and fairways were groomed.

But the greens were bumpy. The ball would bounce while rolling to the cup.
