Disappointing

Started playing golf here 25 yrs ago.... haven't played here in 3-4 yrs and the course conditions haven't improved (worse?). Not well kept, maintained (long list of deficiencies) .... only exception was aerated greens (NOT indicated on GN or anywhere) making putting a bad joke.

Until they show a financial commitment, can't recommend.

Great Course.

Excellent course, for the price and tee time availability. Most of all, Yvonne is just one heck of a great Club Manager.

Staff and Maintenance

There was no starter or rangers. The back up was insane. Sometimes a 5 min wait to tee off mid rounds. The Back 9 only players were just cutting in between the full 18 players. Additionally 50% of the Tee boxes were pretty jacked up and 100% of the greens covered with sand.

The worst day of my play at Kissena

It was the worst day of my golf play at the Kissena golf

Course in three years. The guy at the register was so rude and has no respect for any customers, at least two (2) of us, myself and another lady golfer. If you have this guy work there for a month, you will loose many customers. I will try one mere game and if see that guy, I will leave right away!

Hope you don’t want to loose your customers by letting this guy work at the registrar!

First Round of 2025 in the books at Kissena

A typical NYC muni, not a beaut of a course but a great first round of the year. A short hilly, tight par 64 lets you focus on your wedge game with a half decent tee shot. The greens were surprisingly solid for this early in the year. They appear to have been aerated a few weeks ago and almost fully recovered. The tee boxes on the other hand leave much to be desired. With the GN hot deal and monthly credit I played Kissena for $9.31 (greatest app ever!) for a round that played just under 4 hours on a Friday afternoon. Can’t complain one bit.

Consistently solid, best weekday pace of play

I consider it my home course. Great staff, solid layout, harder than the slope says. Can’t beat a 2.5-3 hour round on the weekday if your riding. With a cart for that speedy round. Nothing but improvements here since I first went 5 years ago. Respect the second cut, big hitter beware, sheath the driver. It’s good for about 5 holes. Great for working long irons and woods.

Pace of play

The course was not busy so we were able to play quickly.

There were a lot of areas not grown in yet and the greens need work. I'm sure as the weather turns the conditions will improve.

It’s feb what can you expect it was 25 degrees. No one on the course. Course condition was fine a little wet but that’s not the courses fault. all in all good condition. Actually Kissena is one of my favorite muni courses in NY. A shorter course with some fun holes.
