Interesting and fun layout, rough greens and bunkers
Interesting topography and surprisingly quick round for a public course near the city. For the most part the course was in decent shape, save the bunkers, which were in rough shape. Overall a good, fun place to play.
$65 and the greens are being aerated (no notification of that) and most of the tee boxes (especially the par 3s) are in horrible shape. Hole 13 i had to hit a wedge shot over 5 workers and their carts fixing a bunker at 12:30 in the afternoon. First time out to this course for the season and was not impressed with what i consider the best public course on the island.
Course description
The tee boxes were in good condition, I really like the wide fairways, the greens were in good condition. There is always room for improvement but overall I give this a four star rating.
Course condition
Pretty muddy due to Friday's rain. Green just had aeration, it was tough to putt.
Not good
Waste of time and money. Pace of play was awful and the course was terrible shape. Didn’t finish 18 cause it was so bad.
Need of some serious upkeep
I totally understand the staff might be light since the covid -19 breakout however the course was poorly maintained. Even for this time of year, it is usually in much better condition. It happens to be one of the better courses on SI and to charge that kind of money didn't feel like it should have looked that way. From the branches, to the poop, lack of water, hole signage , to the lack of sand in the traps, to the grass length it was rough. No Snack bar open and the women's bathroom was disgusting.
Frost Delay
There was a frost delay so they pushed everyone back 45 minutes. The course was packed and only played 15 holes
The course although we are technically still in winter is covered in geese poop! This is an ongoing issue at this course and they seem to do nothing about it. The greens were in great shape!
Needs work
Greens were excellent given the time of year but the tee boxes were dreadful and fairways were often bare. Definitely went downhill since the virus broke.
It's better than Dyker!
As a BKLYN golfer I don't mind driving 25 minutes and heading into SI for a round of golf; reason being the only other option is the dreadful Dyker couse which is always packed and you end up having a 5.5 hour round of golf. LaTourette plays so much faster...I played it 5 times this season and never had to wait. The only downside with all these NYC courses is that even in Dec you have to pay $60 bucks for a round; unless you get one of those hotdeals, but you have to play at a set time of their choice. In summary - it's worth it, (especially if you live near the course) even if you come over from Bay Ridge.
