Kissena Park Golf Course

Teed off 45 minutes after my reservation time. Took three hours to play eight holes.

Although this is an executive small course by design it plays like a. Bigger course. It’s a great practice course. It gets u ready for those long (Par 73) courses with different slopes and hole placements.

Kissena is a short par 64, 18 hole Course, with tough uphill and downhill lies, that can drive a player nuts. The greens are in good shape, the undulation will also drive you nuts. It plays fast because it doesn’t have anyPar 5’s. It’s a great venue to play, I enjoyed it and highly recommended.

Compliments to the staff in Golfnow, very polite vary helpful.

This course is suitable to my play.I'm not a long hitter so par 4's work well for me. setting is nice,rolling hills,some trees,sloping greens. A few of the par 3's are challenging with their narrow fairway and elevated greens.

Based solely on this days round. Pace of play was the worst I ever seen at this place. Beautiful weather on a Friday afternoon. Finally approached the box 35 minutes after my scheduled tee time. Front 9 took 3 hours 10 minutes and finished the back in 2 hours 25 minutes. Not one ranger in sight to regulate pace. I know this happens often on a NYC muni but it was annoying because a young foursome was jumping around holes cutting between parties with no regards to others.

Course conditions were average for NYC standards. Tee boxes were beaten up for the most part and fairways were in pretty good shape. The greens just about on all holes looks as if someone took an machine gun and shot holes in them. This of course isn't the staff's fault because players in NYC just don't their balls marks on the greens.

Despite the executive length, fairways are moderately narrow and greens are for the most part small. Spraying tee shots will punish many high handicappers especially when they underestimate this track. The par 3's on 7, 9, 12, and 14 plays difficult especially for high handicappers. With wind blowing hitting these small greens isn't that easy due to the elevation changes on all 4 holes. For the rest of the course, any decent player could place tee shots in fairways with good course management by hitting fairway woods, long irons and hybrids. It's the players who use driver on all par 4's that spray who have difficulty here.

Anyways staff is extremely friendly. Great short convenient track for Queens locals.

It may be small but it's challenging... if your that good then use your club that goes 200 yards and go from there... greens are small so accuracy is paramount

Lots of elevated tees and a few up hill so the challenge is there!

Kissena is a relatively short course that has no par 5's. The course itself is not overly challenging with a decent layout. The first there holes allow you to move your ball back into the proper fairway if you happen to slice your tee shot into the wrong fairway (local rule), which helps keep the pace moving along early on. The course itself was in decent condition, but several of ten greens were littered with unrepaired pitch marks, which made putting less than ideal on some holes. They do have signs out to repair your pitch marks but clearly not many people do so. Overall, a decent round that finished in 4 hours (6:15am tee time).

NOT BAD FOR THE PRICE. NOT REAL DIFICULT. NOT ALOT OF TROUBLE. PACE OF PLAY COULD BE BETTER.

First time out this year, really enjoyed the round
