Did covid ruin this course or did the city?

This is not my first time playing here so I was hopeful it would be in good shape. I booked a tee time for 1250, and I knew I was I for a rough day from the tee.

The course is in absolutely terrible shape. The tee boxes reminded me of Cosmo Kramer on the beach hitting balls. They were mostly sand and dirt. No grass, and tees just sank in the ground and when I swing the club I actually slid. The fairway are a mix of crab grass, and dirt. The greens were aerated and covered with sand. On the topic of sand, there was more sand on the greens than in the bunkers, which had hard wet sand and crab grass. In terms of the bunkers, not a rake to be found, and some of the bunkers clearly had been driven through with golf carts.

All in all I would never pay for this again. I expected more being open post covid now for almost 2 months, but clearly there has been little to no maintenance of any of form here. Do yourself a favor go to NJ, clearly the city of ny can not manage a golf course despite very high greens fees. I wish there was a way to get a refund, as this can not be considered a golf course not in its condition.

LaTourette Staten Island N.Y.

The fee boxes were all brown with no grass . The sand traps were filled with weeds. The course was very brown . I have been playing this course for over 30 years and this year the course is awful and embarrassing. They blamed it on the pandemic but NJ courses are in much better shape. Shame on you for neglecting the maintenance of this beautiful course . It is not the price of $75 crazy

Horrible

Avoid at all cost. It seems the groundskeeper died from COVID as no one has maintained the course.

Frankly, the course is disgusting. GolfNow should remove purely to maintain its reputation.

50% of tee boxes were pure dirt - no grass. Fairway hadn’t been trimmed, traps overflowed with weeds. Mosquitoes overflowed from stagnant water.

Waste of money, go somewhere else.

Don't play this course

THE COURSE WAS ONE BIG SAND TRAP. TEE BOXES, FAIRWAYS AND GREENS ALL SAND. THE SAND TRAPS HAD MORE GRASS THAN THE TEE BOXES OR FAIRWAYS. I will never play this course again.

By far the worst course I have ever played. Tee boxes all sand, fairway sand, bunkers had weeds and grass and the greens were like Sand.

Not worth your time or money

The tee boxes were in terrible shape mostly dirt. The greens were being aerated which is fine but they did not tell you that in advance. Because they are aerating the front nine you could only play the back nine twice. I booked 18 holes not to play nine holes twice.

there is no nine hole rate. Staff is fine.

This course is in the worse shape of any course on Staten Island

This course looks like crap it’s as if they have not taken care of it all season the bunkers were loaded with leaves and branches. The tee boxes were dead grass and sand the fairways were mostly crabgrass if this is a sample of the mayor and governors idefunding I pity the residents that live there. I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone

Could be good, completely unkept

I think La Tourette has unfortunately been hit by the pandemic and the course shows- no grass on the tee boxes, poor greens, grass in the bunkers throughout etc etc.

Hopefully the course will pick up as the layout could make it a great track, but never in the condition it’s in currently.

All things considered

Was my favorite course of all the Borough munies. American golf the course manager is bankrupt so conditions of fairways d greens is pretty abysmal.

Still a great layout and managed a 77 and 4 birdies. They advertised they will aerate the greens but don’t see how that will fix anything. Reduced price with cart makes sense.

They let covid ruin what was a pretty good course.

SILVER LAKE IS THE ONLY GOOD PLACE TO PLAY IN STATEN ISLAND. I wouldn't even call this a golf course. It's like someone just put holes in their backyard after hurricane sandy. This course and South shore should be absolutely embarrassed to have anyone play on them. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PAY MONEY TO PLAY HERE OR SOUTH SHORE. THANK ME LAYER.

Go to NJ

This golf course is overpriced and uncared for. As a resident, I often drive to NJ because they have better quality courses for the same price point.

The only way you should play here is on an afternoon member special ($25). $83 to play this course on a Saturday morning is an absolute joke... Light your money on fire instead

ATROCIOUS.

Whoever decided to charge anymore than $20 to play this dump should be thrown in jail. Worst course I have ever seen. The sand traps are growing grass inside. The greens are horrific. The fairway is a mess. Can we at least resod the tee boxes? They have given up on the course and it is a SHAME!

Horrible!!!!!!!!!!

What a horror!!! I've been playing this course for the last 11 years on a regular basis and cant' believe how bad it is. I've been playing for over 30 years and never played on a course this bad. Crab grass all over the place. Tee boxes, Sand bunkers. Fairways burned out. Greens over grown and bumpy. 3rd hole green so burnt out that when I went to place my club down by the pull to put, it slide away it was so hard. I pass by there all the time and was wondering why no one was playing on it, now I know. Hopefully it can make a recover for the 2021 season

Very Sad

Shame on me for not listening to my fellow golfers' recent reviews. I've golfed around 20 courses in my three short years golfing and this one was by far the worst. All the recent reviews were spot on with their critiques so I have nothing to add really. The staff seemed friendly enough but management/ownership has obviously given up on the place or doesn't have the money to maintain it at even a barely adequate level. Not sure how they are even open at this point. And the nerve to charge $55 on a Thursday 2:30 teetime is outrageous. Do yourself a favor and golf somewhere else.... basically anywhere else.
