The end of the season for golf is rapidly approaching in concert with the changing of the seasons,…read morewith the trees are about two weeks into their foliage. On this day with a 63* temperature, Kissena Golf Course was in perfect shape and the course really showed its beauty. ~The Putting greens: from the practice tee all the way through the round were fast, rolled true and without ball marks, burnt out grassy areas nor and obvious appendages. ~Tee boxes and Fairways: The leaves were blown off the teeing area as well as off the fairways, so a well struck shot would not have you in continual search for your ball. However an offline shot could result in a lost ball penalty, as the leaves would cover your missed attempt. With the issue of leaves aside, it has been a few years since I played Kissena Golf Course because I mostly wrote it of as a "beginners course" playing to a par 64, 4511 total yards from the tips. When the round was going along, playing the back tees I found there were particular holes that I did not recall that posed some significant challenges. Hole number 2 is the number one handicap hole on the course, mainly due to its length of 358 yards which would be a shot par four on most all other championship (par 72) golf courses. But to compare Kissena to the par 72 courses is not a fair comparison, it needs to be judged from an Executive golf course lens. Playing with a beginner, I understood Kissena better as to what it offers someone just coming up in the game. More specifically, people in the same general skill level who are not looking for a challenge that would find them over their heads. I did find some shots that took all of my skill and concentration to pull off. Off the top of my head, the par three 9th hole measuring 190 yards plays uphill about 40 feet, into the breeze and to a small green. Missing short, left and long are all dead man's land. I nailed a 4iron as good as I could hit it and luckily walked away with a par because in actual yardage I had the hole playing closer to 220 yards, probably a bit more. The number 12 hole, par 3 is no picnic either, long and with lots of danger lurking everywhere. The course is set atop some high ground right in the heart of Fresh Meadows and there are particular places on the course where the visuals of Queens are wonderful, not to mention two locations where you can see the Manhattan skyline.

Enjoyed a sunny, warm afternoon at the 18 hole, par 3 mini-golf facilities at Flushing Meadow Park…read more While it's been around since 1960, I only chanced upon this spot after eating at Queens Market last year and took a mental note to check it out at a later date. The entrance is located about a 7-8 minute walk from to the Mets Willets Point stop on the 7 train, right as the park as begins after passing Arther Ashe stadium. On a very warm summer afternoon around 2pm the single friendly staff member at the kiosk was able to take our payment ($13 pp), via credit card, and pass us a scorecard and pencil. There were several other groups playing as well, meaning we had to wait a little after several holes for the group in front of us to finish, which didn't take too long. The course itself wasn't anything too fancy, there were some small slopes and water features, though no outright themed obstacles. I agree with some other reviewers that the water looked a bit murky. They had nets to fish out floating balls if they fell in. The course apparently is in proximity to the homes of a couple resident gophers, who make occasional appearances which was amusing. As a golf novice, it took about an hour to play thru with a couple people and I enjoyed it!

Awful! Saturday evening at 8:00 pm. Sept. 23,2025…read moreI was walking past with my girlfriend and we saw a woman laying on the ground with blood around her head. My phone was dead and I panicked running over to this golf course. The side door was wide open and some young punk was on the other side gossiping with someone. I stepped two feet in because he didn't hear me shouting to call 911. He finally saw me ( I was standing with my cane, obviously hurt." He puffed out his chest shouting and I said" I apologize for entering but you didn't hear me and there's a badly injured woman " He didn't care and shouted" get out you don't belong in here, it's disrespectful " he slammed the door shut and I shouted again" call 911" he didn't call. Fortunately a woman and her husband saw and they called. That young punk will be paid a visit from Karma and when he does, I hope he remembers how badly he treated people in need. Just an awful awful person.

Gabe has completely transformed my game in the past six months that I have worked with him. For…read morestarters, I went from scoring in the 100-110 range before working with Gabe to shooting as low as 92 in less than a month. This is possible because Gabe has the teaching and playing experience to coach you in all aspects of your game, whether it's course management or building confidence around your shots. Gabe has elevated my awareness of my own swing and helped me stay committed to making long term swing changes. Like many golfers starting out, I still struggle with the basics like consistent contact, club face control, and release. No instructor can transform your swing overnight, but TRUST he will give you the right things to work on and many ways to work on them. As a result, I am making solid contact with the ball more frequently, have 15+ yards in distance per club, and am hitting straighter shots. Most importantly, Gabe will teach you how to be your own coach. Working with Gabe over time has given me the tools to diagnose and straighten out issues in my own swing even on a day when "I just can't seem to hit the ball." It has also taught me to consume the myriad golf content I encounter online with a critical eye. I know what I need to work on thanks to Gabe, and any of the bad rounds I shoot now and going forward would not be for a lack of excellent instruction. If this is helpful context, I picked up golf in 2020, have mediocre natural hand-eye coordination, and am not a particularly quick learner. All that is to say that if Gabe can help my game this much in six months, he can most certainly help anyone. His encyclopedic knowledge of the golf swing would make him a great coach for complete beginners and advanced players alike.

Space in NYC is tight, and man are these fairways skinny. At some courses, you can blast a drive slightly off the fairway and still find your ball in the rough or in a gaggle of trees. Here, your ball is gone unless you crush a perfect drive on about 60% of the holes, and you'll be taking a penalty stroke (take your penalties, people -- cheat golf is whack). It's super challenging, and if you can get a good score here, you can get one anywhere. It's not too difficult getting tee times through golfnyc.com, and there are often great deals on a round (snagged a $34 with cart deal recently). Bonus points for being so close to Manhattan. It's about a 40 minute ride on the J, and a 10 minute walk from 75th street. I've played at 6:00am and been into the office by 10:00am given the short commute. Probably the closest course from Manhattan if you're using MTA of any in Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx.
