The busiest golf course in the northeast! Says I. They do a decent job moving people. The course was in B+ shape for having a big thunderstorm the night before. Definitely some messed up tee boxes. And some greens were being aired out. But fairways were in ok shape. Very green. It’s not the course’s fault I three putted on +8 holes.

Refreshment cart making trips to all holes.
Clubhouse is nice, so is bar. Restrooms are clean. Will be back to play another round here.

I played a public course in Bayside, Queens. Overall it’s fine—easy to get to, and the view toward the bridge adds a little character. It works for a casual round: layout is straightforward and there’s space to warm up. Still, a few things hold it back: weekend pace can drag with long waits on the tees; conditions are inconsistent—worn tee boxes and thin spots on fairways and greens; clubhouse staff can be curt. If you just want a local round in Queens, it does the job, but if you care about sharper conditions and a quicker pace, I’d look at other nearby options.

A K (NYCPerformanceTennis) A great course whose layout offers a few challenges. However, due to its popularity, you will encounter long waits. Best time to start is literally at the top of the day. I played this in late February and it was well maintained. We encountered a 30-minute frost delay, but overall, it was not bad. If you book via the American Golf website or via Clearview Park GC, you will receive a lunch and a drink voucher with your play—I have not had the opportunity to enjoy this as I booked via GolfNow. Parking was free, but I was told during spring to fall seasons, there is a parking fee (not sure of the cost). The clubhouse has a barebones pro-shop and a bar that serves beers and other beverages—it also has a few tables to enjoy your meals/drinks post-round. Overall, a good experience, but I hesitated giving five stars due to customer service—need improvement in the friendly department.

NYC-owned scenic track with challenging Par 3 and Par 4 holes
[10] Course notes: This was formerly a private track; Some greens including hole # 7 were in bad shape w/ barely any grass in certain areas about 8x8 feet wide.
[11] Course notes: Greens were benign with no multiple level areas or severe breaks.
[12] Course notes: I was thrilled hitting shots over water on two very challenging and uphill Par 3 holes over 170 yards away with water in play (front water hazard).
[16] Course notes: Parkland style course with benign rough was a significant factor to offset my low FIR and better than average scrambling.
[17] Course notes: The views of the Long Island Sound and Throgs Neck Bridge from a high point in the golf course were spectacular and definitely adds to the unique golf experience.
[18] Course notes: Several tee boxes were under repair and at least 5 fairways had large bare patches or huge patches of weeds growing.
[21] Restrooms were clean and updated.
[22] Walker friendly with minimal areas that were cordoned-off. Elevation changes were not too extreme for push carts
[23] Practice areas were limited to putting green only. No driving range on site. Offsite driving range 2.5 miles away charges $11/ small bucket, too expensive for my budget.
[24] Pro Shop sells sandwiches, cold drinks and coffee.
Overall, I may come back and play this track again
