Teebox in trouble

Some tee boxes are not in good shape and should be seeded and closed off. 3 greens were sanded but oters in great shape.

Horrible conditions

Got a hot deal for a Saturday afternoon round prepaid. Second time here, went in 2022 and really no issues, not the same the second time around. Maybe 3/18 tee boxes were level and grass, most were dirt mud and hilly, finding even ground for your tee shot shouldn’t be difficult. The back 9 was where things got really bad. Every other green was sanded so much that sand would fly up when the ball landed on it. 3 separate holes had so many sand hornet nests that we couldn’t even chip or putt without being swarmed. Bunkers were basically just dirt and if your ball was even a few yards off the fairway on any hole you’re likely shooting out of some dried up mud patch. No course should be in this poor condition at the end of July. For context I’ve been using GolfNow for 3 years and have never left a review good or bad but I was pretty disappointed in the cliff the conditions of this course have fallen off. Won’t be coming back until it’s cared for better

One of the better NYC public courses

Good value, good pace of play, nice course layout. Teeboxes and bunkers need some work but fairway and greens in great condition. Overall great experience, would definitely play again.

Happy 4th of july

The course was in very, very good condition, but
still needs improvements to the bunkers and tee boxes. Best I've seen it in years. Keep up the good work!

They were 1 hour behind on tee times with no carts by the time my tee time came around. Was an absolute mess.

Well done

Course was properly cared for this off season, still think $80 is a bit much for the round but ultimately the course is in great condition this year compared to years past where it was unplayable

Greens in good shape

Enjoyed an afternoon round here last weekend while every other city course was packed until 3PM due to the amazing weather. Pace of play moved surprisingly well and greens were in excellent shape for an NYC course. Staff were all very friendly, especially in the Boxwood Cafe. Only complaint was that they don't have any water coolers out on the course at the moment, but had a great round aside from that!
