Tee times

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

twilight round

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.

Do not play this course

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.

Latourette Still an Old Favorite

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.

No signs for any hole

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

La Tourette Golf Course

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.

READ THIS BEFORE YOU PLAY HERE!!!!!

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.

Full price for aerated greens

Charging full price for aerated greens is a bit lame. Also, if you book on golf now, you are allowed to walk the course but you will still pay for the cart.

Great course in the heart of Staten Island

This place was really fantastic!!!! For the price. ...it can't be beat! Wildlife everywhere....Beautiful foliage. ...greens were being aerated. ...but plenty of sand make the greens actually puttable. Surpassed all expectations. ...maybe the only reason to set foot on Staten Island!!!!

Great potential

Great layout and overall great course just its a free for all at the first tee theres no need to make a tee time because u will just be sent down to the tee and wait in line to go.. They need more rangers moveing play along theres toooooo many 20plus handicappers hitting from the back tees which causes this course to have a 5-6 hour round on weekends

Course could use some work.

Tee boxes, were used and abused with weeds, fairways beaten and dried out with dirt patching, greens were the best asset. $75 was way too much, in the condition that it's currently in, it's only worth 30-45 bucks. Not to mention the slow pace. Overall needs a revamp of everything.

Lucky Saturday

We play at La Tourette regularly, and normally that means slow foursomes and 5+ hours of a weekend on the course. However, this time we were lucky and got on at 3pm and the course was wide open.

Course is rather wide open and relatively flat with few water hazards. Greens and fairways were in decent shape, and was quite a good value through Golfnow.

beautifully restored.

I hadn't played here for decades, but heard the course was very much improved & I wasn't
disappointed. Also the pace of play was remarkably
good.

Enjoyable round

Had a very early tee time. 5:37 am. Thought I would be alone... The place was very busy. Even with that, the pace was good. My foursome finished in 4 hours flat. I did feel bad for the twosome behind us as they had to wait a bit. Offered to let them through but it was all foursomes ahead so the opted to just wait. Course was in great shape despite the weather we have had. Greens were fast. Fairways were excellent and the rough was just thick enough to be challenging but not impossible. I will definitely return!
