Clearview Park Golf Course

Nice course it’s in good shape with only one temporary hole and it’s a good deal at $ 42 for 18 holes with a cart plus limited lunch menu and 2 tap beers but the $ 3 parking is a bit annoying and the pace of play is slow I had a 9:22 tee time and finished at 2:30. I spoke to the ranger about the pace of play he stated there are many seniors who play there in a morning league and can’t move their knees like they use to and 5 hours is a normal round for city golf. I found both comments ridiculous this is what’s killing the game, 5 hour plus rounds and we wonder why golf is dying in America plus the rangers job is to keep the pace of play at 4 – 4.5 hours encourage people to play ready golf and make them aware they are playing slow. Also if you have no business playing from the tips don’t feel you have to so you feel as if you are somehow getting youre money’s worth come on up to the whites with the rest of us. You’ll enjoy the game a lot more and improve the pace of play.

If you play here I hope you have nothing to do for the next few days because you will be waiting a looooooong time on each hole. The course itself is meh, no doglegs, no nothing really. The pace of play is really bad, as in the worst I have ever seen bad. Save your money, head somewhere else.

After reading a ton of reviews saying pace of play would be super slow, I mentally prepared myself for a long day on the course (not that there is anything wrong with this). A group of us went for a 630 tee time on a Sunday morning, and I must say — it was a great day.
We tee’d off only 10 minutes past our tee time, and the course ran 5 hours, with the back nine significantly quicker than the front. They start the tee’s at 450am, so yes — if you go at 9am on a Sunday, prepare to have a long day out there.
The course itself was a very pleasant surprise. Quite aesthetic, and for a city course 20 minutes from midtown, it was well within and above expectations. We all felt it was well maintained, nice views of the bridge, and the greens had some movement to them.
Go early, and you will have no problems at all. Will definitely be back.

If you book a tee time online and pay a reservation fee, you would expect the golfer to arrive at the course at least 20 minutes before your tee time, pay the green fees, warm up on the putting green and be ready at the tee box when your time is called. That’s exactly what happens at every other golf course except for CLEARVIEW PARK.
Clearview’s expects every golfer to wait for their name to be called on a loudspeaker, pay the fees and then wait 30 minutes past your tee time at the first tee to see groups of golfers complaining about the same thing!
What is the point of having a tee time? This is a clear sign of poor management.
Here’s are the highlights of my day at Clearview:
1) 6 hour round plus the 30 min wait past my tee time!. .. 7+ hours at this dump
2) Witness 4 groups of golfers on a par 3 tee box
3) took a 5 min nap after each shot
4) hit off a tee box with patches of grass and rocks
5) putting on greens are riddled with divots
6) paying for parking!?! now that’s a big F U
This place is joke. Avoid like a plague.

Perhaps the few times I make the trip to play Clearview are the exact times the course is in disrepair and very crowded. Standing on the first tee ready to go is one of my favorite feelings in life. Brimming with confidence you press your tee into the ground, envision your shot and let it rip.
But at Clearview I never feel particularly excited. The fairways are either punched or burnt, the rough is not penalizing and the par 4’s are short, straight and with little to no imagination.
No practice facilities, no clubhouse and a pace of play that will keep the decient player from reaching any level of flow and pace of play to get around the course in a fair amount of time and post a good score.
One extra star goes to the greens which always seem to roll smooth. Once you pick your line and roll your putt on it, typically it holds well. A good putter of the golf ball can make up strokes on the shirt grass.

I thought this was a pretty solid track. It was in very good shape, has some great views on a few holes, and wasn’t overly easy or challenging. The fairways can be a bit narrow on some holes, but even if you stray into another fairway, recovery isn’t too tough. My only real complaint about this course was the pace of play. We were not able to tee off until about 15 – 20 minutes after our scheduled tee time. I think it may have been a combination of the late start, the amount of people playing that day, and the amount of walkers, but a 6 hour round is not something I typically enjoy. The food/​drink stand that you hit on each nine (because there aren’t any cart girls) had great hot dogs and a wide variety of drinks available. All said, I would definitely play here again.

Great Course! Has a good pace of play. Can walk a round in less than 5 hours. Better than most city courses!

great course, abit expensive. try to find a deal… can get crowded fast too but for good reason. always a good time, greeens abit tough but maybe its the guy putting

came here for a golf outing and I was pleasantly surprised. I used to golf here many years ago, but stopped because it got way too congested and the course itself was in disrepair.
Apparently, they are under new management (for quite some time I was told) and they really spruced the place up. The pro shop albeit small, has many top end accouterments. The bar/​restaurant has a nice menu, full bar, and bartenders who are very happy to serve you (Stacy) The course itself, while not terrible challenging, does have some very nice holes and the fairways and greens are kept in prime condition. All in all a great experience and I will be coming back

Not a long course 6300 yards a little shorter than Marine Park. Been playing city courses over the last 16 years and i think this and Bethpage are consistently the best overall. Fairways and greens are in good shape but food and beverage services are best when you bring your own.
Pros: consistently maintained, close to the city (30 min.), and reasonable green fees
Cons: five hour rounds are expected on weekends, food is horrible but prices are ok

The Clearview Park Golf Course is located at the foot of the Throgs Neck Bridge in Queens. It is one of the public golf courses owned by New York City and managed by the American Golf Corporation.
We chose to come here because this course is mostly flat with straight fairways, perfect for beginners (like me). We booked our tee time at
