By: MarvinA friendly comfortable course with a lot of fun holes for your short game. Great for beginners to get the mechanics of playing down as well as an awesome course for you more experienced swingers to set goals (Like hitting every green, only two putting each hole, etc...). The Staff is THE BEST!!! They made me feel right at home the moment I set foot on the course (including not chastising me for not following course rules) If you want a cool place with a gorgeous view to hang out for a day this is it. |
By: ElyI've been there about 6 times in my life, and that is how many times I've golfed. I get better each time. Yesterday I got an 86. |
By: Ely D.Riis Park Golf is great. They have now changed the back nine and front nine. My favorite hole is the 12 (formerly the 3). I've been there about 6 times in my life, and that is how many times I've golfed. I get better each time. Yesterday I got an 86. |
By: JoshRiis is the perfect course to put together your short game. The holes are from 60-150 yards. With practice here and work at a driving range (Gateway Range is just down Flatbush avenue across from Floyd Bennett Field), you can put together a full golf game and improve. I've been playing here with my friends and father since I was a young boy. I'm now 33 and still go back here to work on the pitching wedge shots... They've recently been taken over by new management and there are improvements, including now being open at night with lights. Very cool. Get there early in the morning or on weekends you'll wait 10-15 minutes at the 3rd hole which usually backs up. |
