Close to home and convenient

Course was good, pace of play good, but they need to fix the AC in the bathroom (no uriinals, all broken) and tidy up the inside a bit. Food in clubhouse is good.

You do notice the ball marks on greens, not sure how you can fix dents, how about just stand by your ball?? No need for ball markers - not too many pros there. Newer golfer, but sure if 80 bucks gets you much better on Staten Island.
Also, no staff at front desk, guy out to corral carts…maybe he doesn’t want to he in there because no AC..

Add a driving range…somewhere…like a bar at a restaurant…if they are waiting, they may buy a bucket and practice.

Architect/vjc

Really should pay more attention to cleanliness. Went out at 12 pm and almost every trash can was overflowing?
Why spoil a good course...disrespectful and not a new problem?
Covid is no longer an excuse. Beyond that a handsome course.

WAY OVERDUE FOR NEW CARTS

The carts are horrendous, and in extremely bad shape for many years! If your going to charge $75 to play I it’s about time to get some new carts.

Great Day at South Shore

Very friendly staff, good price, good pace of play.
Only complaint would be that the halfway house could use more workers and better selection but overall experience was great.

Starters don’t know how to properly pace groups on a busy day

If your looking for a 5 hour round of golf, look no further than south shore country club where the course overbooks and the starter doesn’t know how to properly space groups out. Tensions on the course are high when you’re waiting 25 mins at every tee box. Maybe use the $80/round to hire some people who know how to manage a golf course. Not sure where that money is going because the carts are in horrible shape, the course tee boxes always seem to be in bad shape and sand traps are like concrete and the course has horrible drainage. Standing water in the middle of the fairway. Be better or charge a reasonable price.

$80 for that?

Tee boxes were a mess. For $80 a round I expect the tee boxes to be in better shape. Sand traps were either mud or hard pan.

Terrible pace of play and conditions

Our round was over 5 and a half hours. We did not get off the first tee on time. The group in front of us was insanely rude and wouldn’t let us play through until the 14th hole. The cart we were driving didn’t work properly and I had to hit the gas pedal at-least 5 times to move it in between shots. The course conditions were poor, it had rained the night before and none of it drained. Overall would not recommend this course and it was over priced for the experience.

Nasty manager Mike

After long week of work I’m a physician I hoped to enjoy my 18 holes, unfortunately after spending nice amount of money Manager Mike ruined everything.
Our tee time was 12:35 on arriving to first tee it was crowded. We asked starter if we can start back nine since no one was there and starter agreed. We played back nine in nice peace not delaying anyone after that we moved to front nine which was empty no one waiting no one on a green. Different starter who is no friendly person at all , I know him from before hesitate a lot. At first did not let us start looking for our tee time for a while on sing in sheet. We explained to him why we played back nine which was in interest of all players. We loosened some traffic on the course.
Finally he agreed but soon after he interrupted our game telling my partner in nasty way to go to Manager in a middle of our game. My partner lost temper and said few words then went manager, came back and told me that it is end of our game.. I went to manager on my own and in very nice and calm way asked him why he dose not allow us to play. This angry guy Mike start yelling on me ant telling me that he is MANAGER and we are out even there was still no one on front nine. I have apologized for my friend but he still with raised voice was showing me who is a boss. Give people some power and they lose they minds.
