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.

What a joke

This course is awful parking lot is like a dirt road. Me and my friend and the gentleman we played with parked in what we thought was a spot and they left nasty notes on the windshield of our cars telling us to use our heads when there was nothing painted on the ground. They said it was a maintenance entrance which is also a joke. The course looks like hasn’t been maintained all year aside from a lawnmower. We had to look out for a guy with a motorcycle trying to jump the mound near the dirt trench they call a bunker on the second hole it was like moto cross on the golf course. The bunkers were horrible grass and weeds in almost every one. There were random people walking around the course out for their Sunday stroll. If that isn’t enough when we were leaving there were people walking there dogs on the fairway letting there dogs take a dump. The icing on the cake is they have audacity to charge $75.50 to play here on a Sunday. I would never go back there ever again. And I wouldn’t recommend you go there either. I told my buddy take a picture because you’ll never comes back to see this place again.

Course has potential, but it’s obvious they put no money into the operation. The starter did manage tee off times as they were 20 minutes behind, not a Ranger to be scene. The Tee boxes were awful as there was no grass, the fairways were bare and the greens were bumpy and not cut for weekend play. The sand traps had no sand and looked like the bottom of an empty pond. On top of all this we waited on every hole on the tee and in the fairway. It’s really too bad because this could be a decent place to play if the owner or city put some money into it.
