Kissena Park Golf Course

Muy entretenido grande y con muchos servicios

Great experience here at Fresh Meadows for me and have returned on other occasions. Played on a Saturday at 9:00 in the morning on August 31, 2024. I found that the flow of the course moved well. It was when we were at par 3 holes that there was a slow down to wait for the group ahead to do the entire hole. 4.5 hours in total for 18 holes.The grass was moist and maintained well on the fairways. The new looking Yamaha golf carts were nice to drive as well. The tee boxes had lots of divots on certain holes. The Putting Greens were nice and slick. However the fringe had a small stray weeds, but it did not hinder performance for me. The sand traps were maintained well too.I also got to see a nice Red Fox twice on the course! Also known as “Vulpes Vulpes” according to the NYC Wildlife website. I assume that they don’t frequently come out since on another occasion I did not see any and felt safe with the animal passing by the last tee box this time. I recommend making a visit, was an enjoyable and unique experience here at Kissena Park Golf Course.

I don't know what it is but I love this course. Maybe it's because it's the first I ever played. Far from perfect - super slow pace of play on weekend AMs - but an incredibly beautiful setting, and the track has a lot of character and elevation change. Staff are always super nice. No par 5s, this is mainly an iron and wedge course. Greens and tee boxes are in better shape as of October and the Fall scenery is looking great too.

Terrible course! The management is horrible has no control of pace. It took 3hours and 20mins to finish front 9. Multiple times we came up to a tee box with two groups in front of us waiting to tee off. The tee boxes and greens are in awful condition. At a price of $77, includes a cart, that’s just way too expensive for this course!!!!!!!!!! Avoid at all costs.

Kissena’s a sneaky tough course. No. 2 requires a great shot uphill to one of several tricky pins. No. 9 requires a 190-yard shot, uphill, to a tiny green. On No. 17, if you land it in the fairway, your ball's going to roll all the way into the right rough and you'll have no shot at the green. Aside from the first hole, pretty much every shot is uphill or downhill. It's a course that rewards a golfer who can hit irons.My tip: Get out and play the back 9 early on a weekend — you’ll breeze through in two hours and have a great time.
