    Great course with a bit of work recently done. Really comes out in the summer, but you play through winter too. Lots of par fours and fives with probably only four par threes. Really good covid management too. Bookings all online and you check in outside. Only need to go inside for refreshments and restrooms.

    Very friendly staff, however, I didn’t like anything else about this course. Terrible condition. Saw a beer can in the bunker. Very slow play and they let people play in groups of five. I would recommend going somewhere else. Normally I would let all of this slide if the price was right but there is NO way this course is worth anywhere near 100 dollars for 18 holes.

    Played 7/22/22 Very nice course with decent pace. Ranger kept things moving to the best of his ability. I arrived solo for a 5:42am tee time. I am a fool and didn’t check in so I had to wait a few to get setup. I ended up going out with 3 random golfers at 6:08. At tee off it was close to 80 degrees. The fairways were running nicely. The greens were initially slow, however by 7:45 they sped up. The layout of this course is simple and clean. A few of the par 3’s are scenic, making you forget you’re in Brooklyn. Finished the round by 10:10. Started at 6:08.

    Golf course is quite nice, even if the bunkers are absolutely all in extremely bad shape, the fairways and greens are in good condition and the course is pleasant to play. That being said the experience was ruined by an absolutely awful service at the front desk. Starting from the Pro-shop manager who literally yells at customer, is terribly rude and has the nerve to rent clubs that have not seen a brush or water from years, for 35$… see below the pictures. Starter and bar staff are actually very nice and can’t stand the bad behavior of management so that they are leaving…

    Aerating the course. Back 9 closed. Of course no mention of it when booking. However, Dyker is in the middle of some decent upgrades that includes Cart Paths and all Bunkers.

    Quite literally the worst course I have played in my life. No attempt was made to water the fairways. Balls rolled like a tarmac. Greens were punched—which I can forgive—to make matters worse. The amount they charge is egregious given the conditions and effort put into course maintenance. This is a $15 course in conditions we played in yesterday

    Sadly this beautiful course has gone down the tubes. Horrendous tee boxes. Greens pass for ok. Ruts and dirt all over the fairways and especially around the greens. No drinkable water anywhere on the course. Motorized carts are the worst I’ve ever seen. No ambassadors. This course used to be one of the best. American golf had let become one of the worst.

    Date: 01/27/24 Weather: 48°F, Cloudy, Slight breeze, 5-10 mph Tee time: 12:36 PM Started: 12:20 PM Ended: 5:04 PM Duration: 4 hours and 44 minutes Takeaways: [1] Geese droppings were everywhere and were a serious problem on every hole; I had to clean the mess of my shoes every three holes as my shoe traction was compromised. [2] Conditions of the Tee boxes, Fairways and Greens were acceptable. [3] Bunkers were well-maintained with the appropriate sand type. A previous review mentioned that there was no sand in the bunkers, but I think that management had probably remedied this situation. [4] Only hole # 15 had a soggy fairway. [5] Rough was manageable and was similar to Eisenhower Park Blue, not too thick, which helped me keep the same ball for the full round even when deep in the rough or inside the tree line. [6] Greens were challenging with more than a few holes with 2 level tiers but ran true. Downhill putts were really fast. However,  due to the residue from the geese droppings, it was necessary to clear a path for long putts on at least 7-9 holes. [7] Cart paths were repaved with asphalt on more than 5 holes with benches in good condition on most holes [8] Well-maintained metal hole signs on all holes were a good touch. [9] The starter was friendly, tenacious, and a very capable fellow. He was able to squeeze me in 10 minutes before my scheduled tee time. [10] Pace of Play was acceptable despite 4 hours and 44 minutes as I was playing with a couple of seniors in my flight. [11] Men's rest rooms were updated and on the same level as hotel rest rooms [12] Overall, paying $49.00 ($44.00 + $5.00 reservation fee) for 18 holes was NOT WORTH IT due to the serious issue with the geese droppings. In addition, charging a $5.00 reservation fee after showing up in person/walk-up was not a fair policy. I think the reservation fee is fair if the tee time was booked online but in my particular case, I was a walk-up so I should not have been charged for a reservation fee as most golf courses including Eisenhower Park and Bethpage State Park do not charge reservation fees for walk-ups. If the geese droppings were minimal, I would recommend playing this track based on the strength of the long Par threes and fours as well as challenging green complexes.

    Fun course and very accessible from Manhattan and Brooklyn. Prices are affordable, but you get what you pay for.

    choppy in places but playable. the cart path can be a mess but the fairways we're in decent shape, better than some of the reviews suggested. the greens and teeboxes we're good. staff was all friendly and helpful. rental club set was pretty sparse. overall for a public city course I'd say it's good.

    Great event for seniors. Thanks to Justin Brennan, Anthony Gounardes, and Iwen .Chu.

  • 1/5 William K. 5 months ago on Google
    One of the worst golf courses in the area. Overbooks tee times and creates on average ~40 minute delays. Rangers don’t do their jobs and we have folks cutting the line and no longer playing by order of tee time. Course isn’t well managed and basically lots of unplayable areas with no grass and no sand in the bunker. I’d recommend any of the other courses in the area if you don’t want to waste your time.

    Just terrible. The amenities are subpar (to say the least) and the staff are rude. Don't come here unless desperate. Also, this could've been a lush park in a dense urban area for all - instead we get this barren monstrosity.

    This is the closest golf course to my home and, while it's a bit short, I've always liked the layout. The problem is they don't maintain it ... and that is literally true for the sand traps, some of which are so neglected that weeds grow in them. This year, some genius decided to stop watering the fairways, so there's simply no grass left through large swaths. It's fun to hit downhill drives that roll an extra 150 yards, but come-on. This place is a disgrace and all associated should be ashamed.

    A little on the expensive side compared to other NYC Munis. Loved the layout, tee boxes and greens were solid. Geese poop everywhere I hope they can fix that

  • 2/5 Matthew M. 8 months ago on Google
    Used to really love this course. Have been coming for years. Even earlier this year the pace of play was decent. Now the last two times have been the worst I’ve ever experienced. I had to leave the week prior after 12 the course was so backed up. Today an older outing was taking up the course til 9:27am. Nothing was mentioned or displayed on their website or tee times making this aware. Course was extremely backed up and took 5 hours to play 18 holes. Impossible to play a round of golf waiting 10 min to hit every shot. Really hope this gets fixed. I loved this course

    Pretty nice place to have events. When I went to my school event the food was delicious and it’s big enough to hold several people.

  • 1/5 John E. 2 years ago on Google
    This was easily the worst golf experience I’ve ever heard. I cancelled before my tee time, which I’ve never done. The course was already backed up over an hour prior to noon. The starter and cashier were incredibly rude. Don’t bother. This was bad even for a Nyc muni course. I wish I could get these hours back.

    Fun round. It’s golf, pace was slower but to be expected in the city, greens were slower but perfectly enjoyable considering the amount of play it gets.

  • 1/5 Jeff Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty miserable golfing here. I've been here twice, they don't maintain the course and it's easily a 6 hour round. Ok if you're close maybe but don't go out of your way to play here

  • 2/5 Michael H. 1 year ago on Google
    Location is great, but I wish it was in better shape. When I last played the fairways were dry and brown. And the bunkers were a mess…like they are never cared for. Not worth the expensive rate

  • 4/5 VEE S. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice venue. Very clean. The wait staff is very professional. The food is prepared well. Careful with the valet service. VIP gets you parked on the grounds. Regular valet gets you parked in the local neighborhood. You can do that yourself. The self parking lot fills up quick. 4.5 due to the valet. I understand they're trying to make a few dollars but the way it's presented is as if they're doing you a favor.

  • 2/5 Eric S. 10 months ago on Google
    This course is a total disaster. $80 for a round with a 25+ year old cart, no fairways to speak of and totally torn up cart paths. I was hitting out of dirt half the time i was anywhere near the green. by our 10:12 tee time, they were already 15 minutes behind schedule at the first tee. When we returned carts after our round, there were about 25 guys waiting for carts, and they were almost an hour behind schedule at that point. Won’t ever return.

    I cannot tell you about the course itself but I want to give a 5 star review for the staff. Thank you for your honestly and integrity for finding the wallet. Thanks Anthony and Ralph.

  • 1/5 D L. 9 months ago on Google
    The groundskeepers and employees drive recklessly on the sidewalk up and down 86th street in carts because they can't disturb the golf games of rich men. People jog and walk their dogs there, they are going to run someone over. Driving on the sidewalk is totally illegal. I will be filing a complaint with 311.

  • 5/5 Steve F. 2 years ago on Google
    Spectacular greens for a public course. Tee off early and move quickly though. Just some advice

  • 3/5 ssstumpf 2 years ago on Google
    Please clean up the sand traps. Ground is too hard. Put some new sand in there. Otherwise the course isn't bad.

  • 3/5 David S. 9 months ago on Google
    Was invited to a friend’s wedding couple weeks ago. The hall is great, the food and the service is awesome but the problem was with the Valet parking. Russian blond guy asked me to pay 20$ to park my car, when it supposed to be free of charge. Very disappointed.

  • 2/5 J D. 7 months ago on Google
    Decent layout and a few fun holes. Bad fairways, no sand in the bunkers, bad tee boxes, carts are garbage, everything is poorly maintained. Obscenely overpriced for how bad the course is.

  • 5/5 Dan D. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s not a 5 star course. But it’s 5 stars because it’s the best value you can get. Everything is in great shape except the bunkers. Plus you cannot beat the reasonable greens fees.

  • 4/5 Anthony C. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a challenging course. The rough is long and thick and it’s everywhere including around the greens. There are big old trees everywhere so if you are not straight off the tee there is little forgiveness. The par 3’s are tricky elevated greens and a bit long. The greens are surprisingly in good shape if people continue to fix their divots. Fairways are fine. The course is rough around the edges which is expected at a city course. The sand traps are awful totally ignored but other than that this a great course to play and it’s not over priced.

  • 5/5 Alexandra C. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I got married at the golf course and it was absolutely incredible! Everyone was a pleasure to work with and the day was perfect. All our guests were raving about the food!

  • 1/5 Laurent T. 1 year ago on Google
    Course not maintained, ball marks all over the greens , bunkers suck, course is always jammed up...had a 6 hour round 3 foursomes a hole ( on green , fairway and tee box) . All they care about is the money coming in. I'll never even consider playing this dump.
