A place where I would like to recommend it to those who wish to learn how humble I am in nature in a tough golf course where I cannot overcome the wind, thick golden reeds of the reeds that cannot be caught in the wild places, and can't grasp the slopes! I think it's also a good course to repair and care for. I think there are no clouds in the sun.

Great public golf course. Long but flat, great walking course. Greens challenging and in very good shape compared to most local public courses. Can be very windy, which increases the challenge. Will definitely be back.

These greens a just fantastic. Kudos to the staff @ Marine Park. I could play it every day.The staff was exceptional and very accommodating.The support staff even retrieved my glove which I forgot in my car.Thanks guys.

Easily the best maintained NYC municipal course - the greens are in amazing shape for the traffic. Open links style course is challenging, but forgiving for beginners and inconsistent players. Only downside is it is quite busy and can take over 6 hours to play 18 - rangers could definitely do a better job of keeping pace of play reasonable. See a lot of folks taking 10 practice swings like they are pros and chunk the ball 50 feet ahead. Tee times arent really held to or enforced either - can find yourself waiting as much as 30 min past your scheduled time.

Shame that there is no space to practice drivers on the driving range (as its irons only). In two buckets of balls there were about few that were broken and cracked open, which kinda sucked.

I played here on New Year's Day 2019 after some heavy rain and the course, though wet, was is really good condition.
The greens were rolling as close to true as one could hope for.
The course itself can be pretty tough when the wind picks up.
I look forward to playing here again in the height of the golf season!

Considering the location, they have made this into a nice track. The greens are always in good condition. Some of the holes are a little boring - straight, wide with big greens - the first and second are pretty much the same. With a little money spent on cleaning up the paths, taking away the rubble on 3 and putting in some good sand, some fairway bunkers on 1 and 2, then this place could be great. Better than Dyker.

Not perfect but the best public golf course for the money in nyc. The rounds can be slow and the carts are beat up and don t have parking brakes. The lay out is legit and the conditions are above average for over public courses.

This park is trying to clean up. After 7 years the building that houses a center for geriatrics with 2 bathrooms and many millions of $ is complete. This new facility to me is a waste since I see no real activities going on here.
They offer seniors play time on the broken concrete tennis courts that are not clean, lazy players leave balls and cans all over it. There is no night lights or anyone to watch clean up or time play.
There are basketball courts which do have players as late as 1am.

Cricket players, baseball teams use this park NO ONE CLEANS up their food, cups, leave behind broken chairs, etc.
Where is someone to watch over this?

Concerts are offered in the summer. Other events come--Let's see if those new bathrooms stay open for this.

We were honored to house the piano from CityOfHope in June 2013.
It has many rules which are never followed but mostly they annoy us with cops at night to stop the dogs from running.
There are "supposed" areas that dogs are allowed in but no one clearly states this.
Bikes come by constantly with runners on broken paths of concrete.
Plenty of parking lots which are not lit well.

Very good municipal golf course, links style long 7000+ from the farthest tees, practice range, putting & chipping greens,. Decent pro shop & club house (happy hours), latest teaching technology, friendly staff. I think its one ofvtge best deals in NYC if you play golf.

Here today, course is coming along nicely, the staff are doing all the greens, all have been punched and sanded, some temp greens in play. The 9th fairway was also being aerated, not sure if the others are getting this treatment. Happy to report because of this work I got a discounted fee, way to go #marineparkgolf Should all be good in a week or so and in 2 weeks the greens should be back to there best.

What can I say this place is great the greens are well maintained on the weekend they have cheap group lessons usually taught by a PGA pro. My only issue is the amount of people that come to this course getting a decent time can be a pain. On a side note the bars/food area is great I definitely recommend the bacon egg and cheese here. They staff is also super friendly.

We were held 20 minutes past our start time. We paid X amount for a before noon tee time and after noon the price drops $10-15. I made a mental note and that was that. I wasn t gonna say anything, but then it took 5.5 hours to play because of the traffic in front of us and and lack of motivation from the rangers. I went to complain to the pro shop and they wrote me off, said the pace is out of their control. Didn t apologize for the delay or care that the group in front of us was empirically drunk. I didn t want a refund- I just wanted to be credited tthe afternoon discount because of delay and pace. They said, only if I come back and ranger for them. I walked out.

The staff at Marine Park provides a very good muni-golf experience. The course is a links-style track with fast, well-kept greens. The three rounds I've played there average about five hours, a bit slow but not intolerable for a public course. It is the staff that really stands out at Marine Park, from the pro shop to the 19th hole. During very hot rounds this August, marshals brought cold water to golfers throughout the round. They all really provide a friendly, helpful culture that is a pleasure to guests!

Here I had my first golf course.
They just took club number 3 and a basket of balls.
And then he honed the ball.
I like it.
The next day, my back and legs hurt.

I am not a golfer, but I enjoyed the day here. My friend has all the equipment needed to hit the balls, and since it was a sunny day, it was fun to learn how to play (be prepared for laughs in case you are a beginner). For few bucks you get a bucket of golf balls that can last forever.

Great place to go to hit a few golf balls around. Great prices. The facilities are really good. Complimentary parking. The service is excellent. Specials from time to time. Open from May till September.

Always a good time at this course, tee time was 30 mins late but the day made up for it. Greens kept up well, lots of construction going on...which wasnt in the way but it was there...solid day, solid city course.

The lady in the shop, Moira, was very rude, very unhelpful and blatantly racist. My uncle and I went to go play golf and were waiting in line with a few other guys. She helped everyone else infront of us but refused to help us. First she told us management would come and speak with us even though she was in charge of the shop where payments were being made to her. Then when our turn finally came she refused to speak with us or help us because we didn t have an appointment. She didn t even bother to tell us how to make an appointment and I m pretty sure appointments were made though her. She told us to leave despite waiting 30 mins to speak with her. She let other people skip us that she knew and it was a very unpleasant experience. Would not recommend.

The operators of MPG are fabulous. Steve and team treat players like family. There is investment in the property itself so you know your greens fees are being spent well. Playing here for 15 years and the transformation from "dog track in 2004" to current layout is phenomenal.

Staff was very rude. They wanted to kick us off after the first hole, claiming we were taking too long, however we were still waiting for the group in front of us. Man named Ted head ranger was following us through out the whole course, after every hole he would say keep it going, was very unsettled . Felt rushed and could not play well. Would not play there again! From reading the other reviews they seem to do this a lot.

Don't forget the hidden gem at this facility. They have a great pub fair menu and bar, awesome wings, great service and many fellow golfers enjoying the 19th hole. Open until 1 hour after sundown.

At the end of Flatbush avenue there is a public golf course called Marine Park. It's a Robert Trent Jones design. Built on top of a landfill this is a great course to learn to play or get out during the summer days. Very friendly staff. Encouraging and organized starter (Bruno) is eager to teach patrons proper etiquette. Flat and long course, great to walk! Check it out.

We went to the range. It's was very casual. I was worried about being able to dress casually but I need not worry. Parking was available and a bucket of balls was $12. For an extra $10 you can hit off the grass.
