Terrible

No carts despite being told there were. Everyone was teeing off on 10, we were only playing 9 and noticed no back-up at 1 but were told we could not do that. We got off 20 min late and waited on every hole. A ranger was needed to pair singles together holding everyone up. The course was in dissarray, especially the bunkers. The clubhouse is condemned. Overpriced. Just go somewhere else… anywhere.

Course

I paid for 18 holes with cart and when we arrived we were told that carts were not available. The worker stated that it was last minute decision and since we got a hot deal there was nothing we could do.

Not good customer service

Sad story once beautiful layout

The course is falling apart. No clubhouse, none empties ut trash cans by teach hole, and no one maintains greens properly

There is no pro shop anymore, and attendant has to sit at a table outside.. Drinking water is available from him..

Should I say more?

No management presence leads to chaos

Played here at least 10 time. Yesterday was a disaster. No starter, no one present to regulate play. Played 2 hrs 30 minutes on the first 5 holes. There were 5 balls and 6 balls playing together, A few of the players ahead of us played 10 shots and not even on the green. On the first 14 holes at least 60% of the tees we were three different groups waiting to tee off. The last 4 holes we played in 32 minutes, when finally most of the players seems to have given up and the sun was already setting. .

Traps were deplorable

Multiple large iron divots on each green.

The fact that it was $60 to play at this course is outrageous. No ball washers, no sand in the bunkers, no yardage markers, massive divots on each green, and a condemned clubhouse. That should summon it up.

An OK course, but cheap w/Hot Deal

Got a great Hot Deal for a end of season round. I played Fresh Meadows every Saturday about 30 years ago, and it hasn't changed much over the years. It's a par 70, so it plays much longer than the stated yardage with several 400+ par 4's. The clubhouse was closed, but there was a cart guy selling over-priced beers. They aerated the putting green, but the greens on the course were fine although very fast and hard. Most of the tee boxes were really beat up. It looks like they haven't moved them in days. Fairways and rough were in decent shape. We played as a twosome and finished in 3 1/2 hours even though we had to wait on a couple of tees.

Slowest and badly maintained

The sand bunkers are unplayable, greens are not serviced and have old holes positions still present, no amenities. We had to finish after 15 holes as the pace was too slow.

Room for Improvement

Greens improved. Pace of play inexcusable. No starter. 752am tee time and already +10min behind schedule.

No clubhouse to unwind and provide more money to course. Carts need maintenance.

No divot mix provided to help keep course maintained. Lack of willingness to upkeep sand pits and divots.

Overall enjoyable course as far as playability concerns. Would like to see more staff.

Cost to High

For the amenities that are being offered the cost was extreme and the customer service has a lot to be desired.

Value is its name.

Fresh Meadows is a really good basic course. Greens were in good condition, bunkers always hard but the rough grass is short enough that you do not spend a lot of time looking for any balls that miss the fairway. Tee boxes in good shape. New club house being built and you can see some improvements on the course. Keep it up a great place to play for a fast 9 or 18.

PACE OF PLAY

Someone do something about the pace of play, for the Love of God. It really has some “okay layouts, but it took 3.5 hours to play 13 holes before we called it. Will never golf here again.
