LaTourette Golf Course

We checked in 40min early to go to the range before we play…that didn’t happen. Pro Shop guy charged my card twice, even after I showed him my receipt he said I didn’t pay. What??? … STILL tee’d off late because course was overcrowded. Some tee boxes were just awful. Only reason why this is 3 stars is because the hot dog was very good.

Also why do I need to give you my ID to take a golf cart? Hold on let me cross the Verrazano going 25 in my stolen gas cart. Pointless.

I know it’s early in season but really slow greens compared with everywhere else and ur probably going to rework all the bunkers cause they need them .course is looking fine but needs more care and rough needs cutting . Whew .. most guys aren’t in the pga player condition also just include cart fee in price. Such BS 40 dollars for cart even for real seniors

When we got there, it was pouring. The staff guy told us there would be no rain check if we signed in and played. He said the greens are not underwater. I don’t blame him, but they should’ve had somebody out on the course. Checking the greens to tell us that everything was underwater.

Very good NYC public that is one of my favorites. Great hilly layout, good mixture of hikes and fun quirky greens.

fairways pretty good, sand traps horrible and no rakes, greens need to be cleaned off and rolled you need your driver to make the ball go anywhere, no water on the course. Has potential needs tlc

I have played this course weekly for the last 10 years. It made a comeback in condition a few years ago, but for the last 2-3 years has gotten worse. It has new management as of this season, but I see very little improvement except for new carts and new mats at driving range. Especially bad are the tee boxes and traps. Many of the tee boxes are a mixture of grass, dirt, and weeds. I notice that a good number of the forward tees are bare and it is only May. The sand traps are like cement and filled with crevices, footprints, and stones. There is not a rake to be seen anywhere on the course. The water coolers and ball washers don’t have any water in them, so they are unusable. The greens were aerated a couple of weeks ago and are taking a long time to come back. Right now most putts are guesswork. Overall I’m disappointed in the course condition this early in the season. Greens fees were raised but the course really isn’t showing improvement.

Greens in horrendous shape don’t know what went wrong with recent airation but huge holes and fungus like patches of brown grass! The holes were twice in diameter as other local courses like silver lake and south shore. Hopefully 🤞 they fill in soon but won’t be playing there anytime soon. Also the rough left really high and unevenly cut plus tree branches all over place. The new golf carts are nice but still can’t justify 46$ fee for 2 players to ride! Would never pay 85+$ on weekends to play here in mornings, ludicrous! Even after 3 pm on weekday 35 plus full cart fee 23$ is a lot! Don’t ruin golf on Staten Island for the working man!

Fun course to play. Very enjoyable and good time overall. Course is in good shape. Hope to see further improvements with new ownership.

Course is in good shape. Greens were recently plugged so putting was not particularly good (normal for plugging).. Bunkers need some work. Overall great shape.

The course is under new management for 2024 with a substantial increase in prices. A price increase yet the course conditions still stay substandard. Range balls need replacing. $70 plus for a round at a city course is absurd. Goto New Jersey instead.

price should’ve been discounted. it was a terrible course experience.

Well I realise that there is new ownership and it takes some time. I don’t believe they’re doing enough to get this course in shape for the summer rush.

Latourette, usually a reliable local course was a disaster. Early in the season but 3 temp tee boxes, horrendous greens, sand traps swamped or hard as a rock. No rakes in sight to even rake a lie. Awful.

The kicker was we paid $84 (riding) for this dump and we're the first tee time out. Played front 9 in 2:10 (not bad) but when we crossed the street for the back 9 there was a 2 some in fairway and 2 some on tee. Completely killed our flow. Why? Because nobody cares. They decided to get greedy and send people off front for 9 holes this year (money grab) which I guess is ok but when your beginning at 615 on front there should not he any 9 hole rates past 730. Not fair to the people who pay premium rates.

Thanks and do better new ownership
