Kissena Park Golf Course

Had 527am tee time and figured we would have no issues getting 18 in on this shorter course as second group out. That was working until we made the turn to 10. 4 groups at the tee because they over booked the course on the back. No starter or staff at 10 to oversee the nonsense and get things on track. Waited at least 20 minutes at each hole in the rain and couldn't finish the round because of lightning. Had there been no delay we would have easily been done. Scratch this one off the list.

Elevation factors in here with ski slopes for par threes.

Kissena is a good golf course. The staff is friendly and always welcoming people. But we couldn't play because there was thunderstorms and it was pouring for over 20 minutes. We were on hole 1, so I asked if there was a rain check policy. I found out their policy—all nine NYC courses— is no rain check once you pay for your round. Totally unfair.

Compare to the price, the course is very short and pace if very slow. Lots of beginners playing and need to watch out for the ball because each hall is fairly close to each other.

Price seems to be little too high compare to overall condition, but fairway grass is well maintained and great place to practice hill shots.

I might not revisit because I was little scared to get hit by ball from others, which disrupted my concentration

Slow pace but good hot dogs. You might want to get two cause you'll have time with the wait. Course condition was solid. Tight like other NYC municipal courses. Employees were friendly, and the carts were in great shape.

The pace was extremely slow. Be prepared to wait awhile and have a 5-6 hour round if playing in the afternoon, which is rough for an executive course. When playing in the morning here once prior it was better. The first three holes you must be on your toes because the holes all closely border one another, but after that it is more conventional. The drink prices are solid and the hot dogs are outstanding. Overall it is not a bad course at all but the pace was definitely an issue.

The play itself was difficult because it was full of beginners who had no field knowledge and no manners.

Its a nice course a little challenge with all hills, the rough is really rough I list 3 balls in the grass.

Was not a pleasant experience. Over 6 hours for 18 holes, ridiculous considering the type of course. Pace of play was obviously extremely slow. Do not play on Sundays.

Golf now took my money but never booked my tee time.

I got to the course for a 9:57am tee time. They had no record of my reservation. Very upset.

The staff got me out.

A representative at Golf Now barely spoke English that I could understand.

At first they didn’t want to refund the fee.

When a reservation wasn’t made by Golf Now I wasn’t going to pay. Finally they agreed to refund the fee.

I’ll never use Golf Now anymore.
