LaTourette Golf Course

I had a nice round at Latourette. The staff was very nice and helpful and I was paired up with 3 very friendly golfers. The course was in great shape and so were the greens.

I'm a faithful Golf Now customer and I usually book 95% of my playing time through this web site, so when I'm done purchasing my course time it basically explains my purchase, it usually mentions the course, the time, holes & cart included, now when mention to me that the cart is included in my reservation. Now, on this particular day after registering at the pro shop I received my keys and off I went to the !st hole thinking things are going to be great today the weather was fine and I have not played here in a while so I was very eager to play, but, when I reached the send-off area the person said I have to share a cart with another single player that had his own cart. I immediately refused, I explained to this individual that within my receipt says Cart included, he claims I only paid for a half cart? So he suggested that if I did not like this rule take your receipt to the pro shop and get your money back (RUDE). I could not understand cause on the way to him I saw close to 20 carts parked. Anyhow,, I said fine I will do that, I asked for my money back, I explained the situation to the person at the pro shop and finally contacted that person and decided to let us go with our own carts. I didn't care to much about the situation but I had a great time thereafter, the course was in the greatest shape I have ever seen it, the fairways were magnificently manicured and the greens well, you must play this course again & again, what ever they did they did it right......

Course is in very good shape and late spring is the best time to play this course, before the outings tear it up.

Prices very good for a round of golf on SI. Course is a challenge. I expected more of the place from what I had heard. However, Bathroom condition at noon was as if not cleaned in days.

Everything seemed great for playing. Too many people were playing. In this reason, I was playing 6 hours to finish whole round.

Course is in good condition but I found it odd that once booking on golf now, LaTourette golf course refused to provide me with their senior rate.

As a senior citizen and in a fixed income I was a little dissatisfied with the price. I booked the tee time on golf now, combine that fee with the course fee and it's a little pricy.
Other courses ofer senior rates sometimes as low as $26

Fairways were cut yesterday and Clumps of Grass Clippings were all over the fairways. Greens were in great shape except for the fact that the greens could have been cut Shorter or Rolled flatter,Tee Boxes were a Horror !!! On many Tee Boxes we had to Tee off outside the Designated Box. Typical 5/12 hour Round ...

Good layout. Lots of elevation changes. No sand in the bunkers. Only drawback to an otherwise good golf experience

This course is where I learned the game. With the amount of rounds too many to count I say I know this course rather well. I played the course in pristine conditions to as bad as thinking what am I doing spending money here. Management has changed over the years and it really depends on who is working. You could either be served by someone who knows what they're doing or get treated like an alien due to someone with a lack of people skills. Overall, this NYC course has one of the better layouts with wide fairways. If you're a big hitter and get off the tees well, you're most likely shooting a low score. Playing La Tourette is the classic example of Russian roulette. You just don't know what you're in for beforehand.

Have played there before and never had the wait on every tee box as we did today. There was a club of four foursomes two groups ahead of us and they were terribly slow. No one came around to move them along.
They also slid foursomes into play that had no reservations. A very long 5+ hour round.

2nd time playing this course this year and I should've stayed away but the lure of low green fees pulled me back. The course is always running behind schedule, the staff are rude, and the manager is clueless. This course should be the gem of NYC muni courses but it is poorly managed. For instance, the first time I played here on 6/17, they had an outing which led to an hour backup for open golf. Yesterday they had another outing but only on the front nine, which forced everyone to pay the back nine twice. No one was told before they purchased the green fees.

The course is in good shape but the pace is a little slow.

When you book a tee time you expect to play at that time, however this was not the case and I was told it was about a twenty minute delay . Ok no problem but the delay was actually 1 hour and when going back after twenty minutes a man in a blue shirt who I think was the manager got an attitude with myself and another patron who had an earlier tee time than myself. I thought it was your job to please the customer not have their tee time run late for 1 hour and then get an attitude with the patron because the course overbooked on a day that they had an outing and zero carts available for the patrons . To top it all off they let a foursome out ahead of us with 4 kids and a coach I believe they had a 430 tee time because they were walking. Well once we actually teed off we caught Up to them and were held up the entire round. Because of these delays the front 9 took 31/2 hours to play and I was unable to finish my round . At the least the management staff could have been more pleasant and given a discount for the inconvenience. Very disappointed with the staff and their inability to handle a bad situation and make it worse because if I was and hour late for my tee time it would be a big problem but this I guess their not too concerned with. Thank You

La Tourette is, overall, a good local value. On of the greens, however, had been vandalized and was unplayable. Bunkers were raked and played nicely.

Course is a joke, staff is a joke, pace of play... yup a joke. Staff are uninformed teens obviously wanting nothing more than to be elsewhere. On the 11th green the name Carl is burnt into the green... no kidding. It took 4.5 hours for us to play 12 holes before we left. Terrible place to play go else where.

Was good to come back to a course I played when I was younger. Still a favorite whether they start you on the new front or the old front. Certainly worth the trip to the island.

the course was in good shape though. fairways cut nice and greens smooth and true

Was a little crazy to see no signs for each hole
hot dogs are good. There is a practice range on site which makes it nice to warmup

Not the prettiest of courses in terms of aesthetics but I really liked the layout, challenging and extremely fair to the mid range handicap played a little less then 6,400 yards from the middle tees and I didn't lose a single ball. Despite cool and wet weather conditions, the greens putted very true and were good speed. I was very surprised at how much I liked the course.

Very expensive for a course in such bad shape with the slowest play on the island. Management does not let anyone tee off on the back nine to keep play moving no matter how many people are on the first tee. Be careful when you book online because they over book and don't account for high school matches. They will make you wait over an hour for the schools to finish because they will not send you off the back. A good course will always make sure there is a good pace of play, Latourette is not one of them. I have had a problem with the pace of play every time I'm on this course and could have been avoided by going off the empty back 9. Management is awful to deal with. They could careless about you they only care about the money they make which is why they book tee times for every 7 minutes and charge outrageous prices for golfing and range balls. This would be a great course if it was run better.
