This is considered a short course by some but it has many narrow fairways that will challenge any level golfer. I've played here for a number of years and it seems that the greens are getting better all the time. The clubhouse has gone through a renovation and there is a first class restaurant there now. Twilight rates are in effect earlier here than at other Staten Island courses so you can get a real bargain. I've played 18 holes in a little over 3 hours sometimes in the afternoon. The only complaint I have is the landscape staff. They often don't fail to off their lawnmowers when you're taking your shot and sometimes they will ride right up to you or ride up behind you while you take your shot. But I still believe this is a great course.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
