The best courses you can play in Flushing, New York

“The Tillinghast design is home to some of the tightest fairways and thickest rough a golfer will find. You don't play Bethpage for the greens, you play for the journey to them. They're considerably flat and slow, which people dislike, but I think it adds a sense of fairness back to the golf course.”

“Francis A Byrne is the best municipal golf course I have ever played. I found myself saying “wow - I love this golf course” over and over again. The greens steal the show throughout, starting with the long Biarritz on 2 (a hole I unfortunately made a mess of).”

“Always living in the shadow of its big brother the black course the red course is a true hidden gem. Without the black course right by its side im a firm believer this course would be seen as a top 5 public course in the state. Same thoughtful routing done by the legendary A.”

“On the water so you expect some wind but this wind made it impossible to judge and I wouldnt judge a course based on this but the green were awful and did not hold when you hit them. The course is made hard for no reason takes the fun out of golf.”

“This is a post-renovation review. Although the course still needs to grow in some, the county did a tremendous job with the renovation. It’s a short and straightforward course so don’t come to be challenged. Excellent value at $60 to walk.”

“Skyway is one of the best munis in the NYC/NJ area, even as a 9 hole course. I like to call it the working man’s liberty national. You’ll be hard pressed to find an even lie, and despite all the play it sees the greens crew does an incredible job at upkeep.”

“Not a terrible golf course not really a great one either. The last hole has a giant net that impedes on the shot and its a local rule if you hit the net you get to re tee. Its to protect the houses but it absolutely kills the round…”

“Not a bad layout for a public, but greens were extremely slow, basically like putting on the fairway. Back nine completely underwater every time it rains. A few cool views, but not anything amazing.”

“Fairways are in good shape. Tee boxes are horrendous. Greens are okay, but hard. Layout is wide open here, so wind and greens are the only defenses.”

“Pretty good municipal golf, a handful of memorable holes and good conditioning. Greens true but on the slower side.”

“Great public golf course for the value. It is hard as it is easy. It is about as affordable as it gets $65 green fee. Only downside is round is 4:30-5+”

“Fantastic course for NYC. Just extremely slow 5.5-6 hr rounds. No driving range. Great condition and facilities”
