Fresh Meadow Golf Course

Had not played Fresh Meadows in five years. Then, the course was in good condition, from the fairways to the rough to the greens. This time, we should have been tipped off by the poor conditions of the practice greens. So many bare spots and rough grass. Found the same on the course. The rough was brutal. If you were just one foot or more off the fairway, good luck finding your ball. We had to opt for the "if it should have been findable" rule...no penalty stroke for dropping another ball. Sorry to say, crossing this golf course off my list.

Play was very slow - was about 25 minutes behind booked tee time. No ball washers ate any holes available.

There was no water available, only beer and soda. the only food available were candy and small bags of chips. No beverage cart going around the course, minimal staff at the location. Pace was extremely slow and other patrons would steal your golf balls.

There was a 20-30 minute delay and then the front 9 took 2.5 hours. I ended up leaving after 9 holes.

No carts despite being told there were. Everyone was teeing off on 10, we were only playing 9 and noticed no back-up at 1 but were told we could not do that. We got off 20 min late and waited on every hole. A ranger was needed to pair singles together holding everyone up. The course was in dissarray, especially the bunkers. The clubhouse is condemned. Overpriced. Just go somewhere else… anywhere.

If a round at this course was only $10, then it would be fine. Biggest rip off/scam of a course I’ve ever seen. Course is in terrible shape, terrible course management and overall horrible experience. I’ve met multiple random golfers at other courses talk about how ripped off they felt and would never go back. I’ve never felt compelled to write a course review but these scammers need to be called out. Avoid at all costs, unless they change their fees to $10 a round, then go for it.

Discourse is way better shape than it used to be about 23 years ago. Definitely would come back and play more. Awesome job

This course is decent not as bad as some of these reviews lead on. Greens are in decent shape and pace of play has been good when I’ve gone.

Took 7 hours for 18. Place covered in geese poop. Bunkers are grassy and hard as a rock. No beverage cart or food sold here

They were running about 20 minutes behind schedule and the pace of play was brutally slow. Between the delayed start and the 2.5 hour front 9, I decided to leave and not play the back. The course was not in good shape and the fairways were hardly discernible from the rough and the greens were so hard shots that hit the green were bouncing off the greens.

I paid for 18 holes with cart and when we arrived we were told that carts were not available. The worker stated that it was last minute decision and since we got a hot deal there was nothing we could do.
Not good customer service

The course is falling apart. No clubhouse, none empties ut trash cans by teach hole, and no one maintains greens properly

There is no pro shop anymore, and attendant has to sit at a table outside.. Drinking water is available from him..

Should I say more?
