Great Golf Course. Waiting and long rounds can be a problem with any popular course. Course is well kept. Have yet to group with anyone but friendly helpful people. I am a novice at best and find the course managable and enjoyable. I do not find the staff to be bad. Ovewhelmed, busy but not nasty. Let’s face it some of us golfers can but pretty demadning and inpatient. Anhywyas, a truly enjoyable quality golfing experience for anyone who is interesting in playing!

I have been playing here for 4 years now and after the renovations for the last 2 years the course looks great. I have played some of the best course in the country and my brooklyn home course still to me is a great course. However, some problems exist with people walking all over the course looking for open holes to play on and then backing up play. They really need to manage this course a lot better, Im really tired of seeing new people in front of me when Im playing. Dyker please get your act together and stop this from occurring. Anyway, Im looking forward to playing again as soon as the weather warms up.

We played Dyker Beach yesterday afternoon. Being a weekday, there were no crowds and I was really impressed with the conditions of the course especially so early into the season.
It was my first time out in 2 years but I had a truly memorable experience. I dropped a hole-in-one on the 4th hole!
One of the best feelings of my life. What a beauty that 4th hole is, elevated Tee, nice grouping of bunkers in the back. I am officially hooked and will be back to play Dyker Beach again really soon.

After moving to the Big Apple from Arizona, where there’s a golf course everywhere you look, I found myself suffering some serious golf withdrawal. After a year of living in Manhattan and golfing a lot in the Bronx (Pelham, Split Rock, Van Cortland, Mosholu and Dunwoodie in Yonkers) I settled down in Brooklyn a few stops away on the R-line or B63 bus. Dyker Beach has become my “home course,” and I’ve played there often in the last 6 months.

Much of what is written in the above comments is true. The rounds are longer than anywhere else I’ve ever played. The staff does emit an attitude of nonchalance, knowing the course will be packed regardless of their prices or customer service. But at the root of it all is a simple truth any golfer should appreciate: This course is an awesome layout. Some easy holes, some hard holes. Doglegs. Uphill. Downhill. Good greens. On a beautiful day, there’s no better way to spend 6 hours than chumming with some fellow golfers. I’ve yet to meet an unpleasant golfer on the course - everyone has always been very friendly.

If you live in NYC, you should get a resident card. $6 for a year’s worth of discounted greens fees pays for itself in a heartbeat.
