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.

Not a good day to play because of the weather

Very windy day and lots of dead leaves fell on the green, could not putt peacefully. So, it was not a great day to play golf.

Course was in okay

Course was in okay conditions giving the time of year. Pretty slow round 5 hours for a short course but expected in NYC. Staff in the ProShop checking players in has terrible attitude and manners. Sat there eating grapes for 5 minutes until she was done before she even spoke to us waiting. Starter was pleasant

Quick, Clean and Friendly

Nice course. Allows for par 3 practice and short par 4s that feel really nice. Small and fairly tight fairways. Pace of play runs slow but you can always book a tee time. Staff is excellent.
