Ferry Point Park

Beauty for taking pictures

For the most part a really nice course, but there's about 3 or 4 holes that are tricked up with bunkers in the middle and all throughout the landing zones. It'd be one thing if it were at a particular distance giving the choice to either lay up or go for it but they're spread from 200 to 320 yards all throughout the fairway on a couple of par 4's. The staff was a whole other issue. I was scolded for parking in the far corner of the lot and was told I should park by the bag drop. I have a truck and it's difficult to get clubs in and out if cars park on either side. He told me it was the employee parking lot...there were no signs. It was raining that day with no guarantee the rain would stop. As we waited the staff kept pushing us to check in. We finally decide to give it a go as we traveled to get there and when we asked for a couple of dry towels they looked at us like we were crazy and said they didn't have any. We asked the starter and said they were being washed but would bring some out...never happened. Anyways, finished the day up and had a drink and I can honestly say there wasn't one friendly person we dealt with. Actually, two of our guys ran into Michael Breed and said he was extremely friendly. Anyways, for $240 I expected sooooo much more, and would find it really hard to justify going back.

Nice park to sit e and relax

Very disappointed! Run like ever other NY public courses!! Took some clients out on a Friday a afternoon, took 1 HOUR to play first 3 holes. No rangers to be found, called pro shop and they sent one out. He told us we were on pace for a 4.5 hour round! We argued it was more like a 6 hour round. He said he would talk to the group in front of us, but we watch him drive right by.
Needlees to say, after waiting on ever shot, we pack in in after the 13 hole. (5 HOURS into the round)
Also groups without caddies did not take care of traps or divots. All of the bunkers had numerous foot prints, and i constantly was repair ball marks on the greens!
Don't waste your time or money, there are penalty other high end public courses that are run much better!

There was a time, when locals of the Bronx, Long Island and Queens could ride dirt bikes here, when it was still an active landfill. Ironic that back then this place was of some use to the community.

They covered the trash mountains with grass, and instead of giving the area something it could use, they built a golf course. I shake my head at decisions like this.

Whenever I drive past, I have yet to see anyone travelling through it, other than park staff in official vehicles, or the occasional contractor. This is how taxpayer money gets spent the wrong way...
