What a great place for a golf course in Brooklyn, NY with views and my first time here. Son lives in Queens so the trip here was a great surprise to find a Robert Trent Jones Sr. in the middle of this. Very flat links layout with everything (fairways/greens) in very good condition considering how dry its been. The wind was the biggest hazard we faced and worked our balls every which way. Played from the Blues/Tips at 6,866 yds / 72.2 / 123 and paid $43 after RSVP fee, non-resident fee so we decided to walk, very good choice. Easy 4.5hr with many people taking advantage of the various discounts offered after 12pm. I shot 41/36 w/ 31 putts with Son Barry @ 36/45 w/31 putts having 6 Birdies between made it a fun memorable afternoon. Great Location, Length, Conditions for an affordable course this close to New York city that the average public person can play.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Ranks with the best in this price level
Condition of Course, Price, Pace of Play, Layout, No Houses on Course
