This short and tight course features small greens. Water hazards (lakes) come into play on two holes. The signature hole is 4, a 190-yard, par 3, requiring a tee shot over water to the green.

This short course features narrow fairways, plus many hills that can cause uneven lies. The main features that make this course so difficult are the various required blind shots. There is only one water hazard on the course and it comes into play on hole 5, a 140-yard, par 3.

New York Golf Courses Comments:
This (pitch and putt) course should be easy for the accomplished golfer to master, but difficult for the beginner. The average player on needs a pitching wedge and a putter because the holes are extremely short. The wide fairways are open, and the greens range from (postage stamp) size to large. The scenic lake located on the course never comes into play.

New York Golf Courses Comments:
This hilly course, situated in the midst of a densely residential neighborhood in Queens, is rather short with tree-lined fairways and small, asymmetrical greens. There are three water holes, which is unusual for a city course. From hole 9, there is a captivating view of Lower Manhattan. The facility underwent renovations during 1997 and was lengthened by approximately 200 yards and increased to a par 70. Tee boxes were rebuilt, fairways and greens re-seeded, and cart paths were added.

New York Golf Courses Comments:
This course is challenging, even though it's short. The fairways were built on rolling terrain, but the course is still easy to walk. Water hazards do not come into play, but there are a few sand bunkers. The head pro suggests bringing every golf club in your bag because the course was designed to force golfers to hit a variety of shots.

New York Golf Courses Comments:
This private course is well-manicured. Even though the yardage indicates this to be a fairly short course, the narrow fairways and well-bunkered greens force golfers to hit accurate shots. The fast greens are always well maintained.
