Dirt Tee Boxes

I understand that COVID impacted all operations, but there wasn’t one tee box with grass on it. All dirt. Front 9, there were more weeds in the bunkers than sand. Not worth $75 at all.

Needs work

Overall poor-ish conditions. Front nine conditions are worse than the back. Traps are a bit better on the back, mostly unplayable on the front. Prices haven’t fallen, so put the work and maintain better please.

Want to be rudely greeted by shabbily dressed starters?!!.....

..........then this is the perfect course for you!!!! Want to pay top dollar for burnt out fairways, dirt Tee boxes, and vine and weed ridden bunkers???!!!....Then this is your sort of place!!! Want to play six hour rounds, and never see a Ranger monitoring the pace??!!!....Yup, La Tourette is your sort of course.

I have been playing this course on and off for nearly twenty years, and the apathy this current staff exhibits, the shape of the course itself, has never been this bad. Sure, you say, it's starting to come back from the pandemic!!.No!! the truth is this place is all about taking your money, everything else to them is secondary. If you're travelling to this course from any other borough or city, do your self a favor, and go elsewhere!!!

La Tourette

Its beyond me how a you can charge $74.00 for a course that is obviously not being maintained.

The T'boxes, and fairways were barren. Spotty grass areas and hard pan dirt in the fairways. The worst were the sand traps. Over grown with weeds, no sand and all hard pan. What does it take to put clean sand in sand traps so you can actually play out of them.

The only thing that would keep me from recommending 0 stars on conditions was the greens. They actually were in good shape.

Could be a Gem

Played on a Saturday and finished in 4 hours. The greens were in nice shape but, the fairways and traps could use a little work. It’s a beautiful course that could be exceptional with a little effort.

Terrible

Unless you want to waste your money I would not play here. Do yourself a favor and drive 20 minutes to jersey and play a course 10x better for the same price. I’m just lucky I got out in the morning to avoid paying 68 DOLLARS to play a course that literally has sand traps with grass growing all in it and people walking the course liek it’s their neighborhood park. Will not return.

Rough Conditions

American Golf has apparently abandoned any maintenance on the course other than the greens were for the most part were extremely playable. Fairways are sparse and rock hard, bunkers are nothing more than curt patches overgrown with weeds, totally unplayable. For the $39 I paid with cart and it was local, it’s just ok, but I can’t recommend right now and will not return until next year.

Too slow, 6hr round

Unfortunately it was a very slow round, in addition the fairways and greens are not in very good condition. I guess due to Covid the course has cut back on maintenance.

Terrible Conditions

I’ve never written a review before, but I felt it necessary after today’s round. This course has been completed neglected. Tee boxes have been played down to sand with little to no grass, to the point where footing is loose below. Fairways are completely burnt out with very little distinction between them and the rough. Green-side bunkers are not cared for and the greens themselves are sandy and very burnt out, aeration aside. Myself and buddies, all avid golfers, were left angered after paying $75+ to play this course. I hate to leave such a poor review, but hopeful that this helps others to steer clear.
