.

Why ask me to review the course , when you censor my previous comments on my round at Clearview. If a course is unplayable which Cleatview is and was, fellow golfers need to know. Maybe, management will then put some effort into maintaining the course.

Terrible greens

Terrible tee boxes and greens . Every green was either destroyed by inconsiderate players not replacing ball divots or greens were destroyed by tire marks on the green. Tee boxes were just a dirt no grass on the tee boxes . Fairways were in good condition

Terrible!!

The greens had divots on them. Not the normal divots. Like someone was pitching from them. Tee boxes were bare dirt. The layout of the course is horrible! Greens and next tee boxes right next to

Each other. Carts had no brakes. Terrible condition for an $80+ round of golf!!! Never again!!!!

Rough shape

Course was in rough shape. Multiple tee boxes had no grass on them. Greens were patchy and some of the tee boxes are right next to greens, leading to multiple people almost getting hit. The course is good for the rate but even so, I’d consider nearby alternatives first.

Good Location

I love the location and how close it is to where I live. I think the green and course are poorly kept. People don’t repair their divets. The last two holes are like a 7-10min walk from 16th hole. It’s insane unless you’re in a cart. So if you don’t have much time and want to play 18 holes get a cart.

Muni

A good in city course with few frills. Quite a tight track with narrow fairways and heavy overgrown rough throughout. Greens need work, but that can be said of most in-city courses. Odd routing due to highway circuits, similar to Van Cortlandt in that regard.

Entertaining, but patience and extra balls, a must!

Walked

Not Worth It.

It was pretty much mounds and valleys of dirt, with flags stuck (mostly slanted) in the middle of a corroded green patch.

Big mistake, we walked, not designed for walking; especially if you take the "short-cuts", across fairways and through the "forest".

Tees are dirt, two of which, on of the group called the most dangerous tees in golf; sandwiched between two greens, where balls fly at you.
