Dyker Beach Golf Course

Absolutely pathetic customer service.
It was a beautiful afternoon and so we figured the course may have been crowded. We called the course AHEAD of time and was told by Kevin (he wears a cap and works there on Friday afternoons) that there was no wait. We arrived to the course 30 minutes later just to be told by the same idiot (at the cashier) that there was a 45 minute wait. After leaving our name and returning to the incompetent employee 45 minutes later, we were told it would be another hour.
Are you kidding me? He is either mentally deficient or a straight up liar. Absolutely pathetic. He will be reported to the manager.

I had my daughters bridal shower here last weekend. The staff was very attentive especially the GM Gregg .Food was great and everyone had a fabulous time. Would highly recommend this venue for any special occasion party. Setting is just beautiful.

Very irresponsible. My sister got married here two weeks ago. The venue is beautiful but I am shocked at how disorganized they are when they have as much experience with events as they do. They served alcohol to underage people and people who dont drink for religious reasons, even though we had a long conversation about not bringing alcohol out unless someone went to the bar and asked for it. Not sure how legal that was on their end, but Im looking into it. It also rained before my sister and her husband were supposed to do their vows outside. It took almost an hour of rain before their staff offered to put a tent up to cover the guests. I dont know what the delay was or if it was just made available then, but they were aware of the drama ensuing inside because of the rain and no one gave the bride that offer. If your wedding or child safety means a lot to you, you might want to have signed agreements with them instead of talking since they obviously dont listen. We have two events coming up and will not be using this place again.

I just had my ceremony and reception at Dyker Beach Golf Course and was so impressed by every detail! From the initial planning to the main event, the staff was on point. The day before the wedding I was getting nervous that it might be a little chilly for our outdoor ceremony, so asked Dyker if they’d be able to provide tea or hot chocolate for the guests to help keep them warm. They replied, «no problem at all!» Our guests were not only impressed with the amount of food, but with the quality. The cocktail hour and reception ran so smoothly thanks to our wonderful Maitre D’ and Bridal Attendant. I would definetly recommend Dyker Beach for anyone planning a wedding!

My wife and I had our vow renewal at Dyker Beach Golf Course on April 16^th, 2016. It was awesome! The staff at Dyker Beach is top notch. Their attention to detail was phenomenal. The ceremony was beautiful. The cocktail hour was phenomenal. Everything went better than I could have imagined. This is most definitely the best venue in Brooklyn for weddings, etc. My friends and family continue to call us, telling us how great the food was and how friendly the staff were. Kudos to Dyker Beach for creating a memorable celebration!

Great food, service and overall ambiance, I had a winter wedding at Dyker beach golf course on 2÷12÷16 and the staff was very catering and responsive to put requests! They made my day worry free and so great! Thanks!

We had a day wedding in August 2015 at Dyker Beach Golf Course. We did both our ceremony (outdoor) and reception (indoor, with outdoor patio access) at Dyker. The venue itself is beautiful, located on a golf course so the greens are kept well-​manicured and the building is a NYC landmark that has been well-​maintained yet still preserves its historical elegance. There is a large parking lot at the venue which is very hard to find in NYC and was key for helping us to accomodate many of our guests who were travelling in for the day. The food & the drinks were by far the best I’ve ever had at a wedding and even on par with a high end restaurant. Our guests all commented the same satisfaction with food and drinks. The service received by everyone from the bartenders to the maitre’d was hands on and accessible but never disruptive. Many of our guests commented that our wedding was the most fun they’ve ever attended and keep in mind we had a day wedding! Though the wedding itself was truly a perfect day, the planning was just as fun. This was largely due to our knowledgeable, kind, and patient Private Event Director, Eman. From the moment we met Eman and saw the venue, my parents and I knew that Dyker was the right venue for us. Due to geographic convenience and parking, it was the first venue we saw and our experience was so positive from the start, it was the only venue we visited. I couldn’t be happier with our choice to have our wedding at Dyker and am beyond grateful to the staff of the venue and particularly for the efforts of Eman to provide us with not only a perfect wedding day but such a wonderful and largely stress-​free planning experience leading up to it.

I was married at Dyker Beach Golf Course on August 8, 2015 and I have to say that the whole experience was wonderful. The staff and service was extremely helpful when it came to all aspects of the wedding process and day. They really knew how to tie the odds and ends and as well as accomodate all the «wants» that we asked for to make our day as special as it was. We received so many compliments on the professionalism of the the staff as well as the quality of the food. The venue itself is gorgeous and well maintained. If you are considering Dyker Beach Golf Course you will not be disappointed! Carlo and Eman were the absolute best!

I was married at Dyker Beach Golf Course on December 19, 2015 and my wife and I couldn’t have been any happier. The service, food and venue were top notch. Vicky helped plan our event and was very informative, patient, and welcoming.
As soon as we arrived, the staff was very attentive and helpful. They made sure we were being taken care of with any food, drink, or accommodations that we needed.
The cocktail hour and main course were terrific. The waiters were actively passing hors-d’oeuvres. All our guests were raving about the food and how homey our room was. Dyker made our Christmas wedding vision come to life.
Between the beauty, service and quality of food, we highly recommend this venue for any special event you may have.

Such a beautiful venue just minutes away from me. I’m not a golfer but recently have been going to the outdoor driving range at Chelsea Piers and love it. My golfing friends that reside in Manhattan do make the long trip down to Brooklyn just to golf here. I joined my friend here for my first real golfing experience (I am told mini golf does not count lol)! The weather was great, the grass was green and properly maintained and we had an amazing view of the Verrazano bridge. Overall, a beautiful venue with great courses that serves its purpose well. I’m told they also do events here. Will return again for some more practice and when I take my training wheels off.

I like this course. It’s got a good design, the fairway/​greens are in solid condition and the price is very reasonable.
I don’t like the gentleman who was manning the the front office today. Yes, every golf course has to have a grumpy old man, it’s part of the game. But when you call to make a tee time and the guy who answers is like «What? I got like 30 people in front of me and don’t have time to run through the tee times… go online» and you’re like «I went online and the site isn’t showing me tee times», you ask yourself, how hard is your job? Typing on a keyboard AND talking on the phone at the same time? Are you insane??? Take a breather dude. It’s golf, it’s not brain surgery. And a piece of professional advice: don’t patronize your customers; they tend not to like that.

I had my wedding at Dyker Beach Golf Course on August 9, 2015 and it was great! I couldn’t have done it without the help of the great people that work there.
From the beginning, Eman worked with me to plan the wedding. She was very patient with me in answering all my questions and offered useful advice to make sure everything was perfect. She is a sweetheart — her professionalism really made the planning go smoothly and I don’t think I could have done it without her. I love Eman :)
On the day of the wedding, I was assisted by John, the Maitre’d and Karina, the bridal attendant. Both of them were very reliable and attentive. If there were any issues, I could be sure that they would resolve them promptly. Weddings are a hectic blur when you’re at the center of it and these two made sure I didn’t lose my head through the night! Karina even stayed late into the night and made sure we didn’t lose anything and to check if we needed any help bringing stuff to the car.
Dyker Beach Golf Course was a wonderful choice for venue. Many of our guests commented that the ceremony by the gazebo was beautiful and that the food was great.
All my guests had a fun time — it really was a dream come true to have my wedding there!

It’s pretty nice in that you can usually just stroll right in, wander around almost any part of it whether you’re golfing or not.

Arnold Palmer once said, «Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character.»
He’s probably right. I possess none of the strengths mentioned, and I have had very little success in golf. That doesn’t stop it from being one of the best things you can do on a nice day though. And on this last outing, I didn’t break anyone’s windshield… so I’d call that a win.
If you are into golf at all, or if you just like drinking beer outside, I’d give it the Dyker course a shot; it’s surprisingly picturesque for being smack in the middle of Brooklyn. Yes, it isn’t the cheapest hobby to pick up, but they often have deals on a round, a lunch,* and a couple beers if you’re willing to play at off times.
FYI: It’s considered ‘bad etiquette’ to run over someone else’s ball with your cart.
Even if they are winning. (I know, right?)

*Decent food, but call ahead from the 7^th green to avoid a wait.

Very respectful staff.
They shut off the tvs in the grill room so special services and prayers will take place.
Thanks Patrick.

We had our son’s First Communion Party at Dyker in the Grand Ballroom. We booked with Eman, who was very nice and helpful. We later worked with Vicky to finalize everything.
Venue:
First off, the whole place is just BEAUTIFUL. The rooms are decorated tastefully and really, you need minimal decorating on your part. Two of the rooms open up to a big patio that overlooks the golf course. So you aren’t just confined to the room. The kids had fun running around outside and some adults even enjoyed eating out there. We wound up having a really nice day, so most people hung out there at some point. Everyone kept telling us how beautiful this place was. You would never think you were in the middle of Brooklyn!
Food:
I’ve never been here, so I didn’t know what to expect. I heard really good things, and really bad things about the food. I was hoping and praying for good, and we were not disappointed. We wound up getting the buffet, which was a great way to go.
First off — which I didn’t even know they were going to do — everyone was greeted with a glass of champagne.
Cocktail hour:
We got to pick different passing hors d’oeuvres…which my husband said he saw none of. I, however sampled the spinach pie, pigs in a blanket and mini beef wellingtons. All were really good. There was also a room set up with antipasto, etc. I was too busy running around that I never even had a taste, but everyone said it was great.
Eman had set up for the kids mini pretzel bites with a honey mustard dipping sauce. The adults were stealing them! haha. They were great.
The buffet itself consisted of:
maple braised boneless short ribs (out of this world good — everyone raved)
chicken marsala (good — your run-​of-​the-​mill marsala)
Eggplant rollatini (really good)
Tilapia oreganata in white wine sauce (the piece I had tasted a little too fishy, but maybe it was just that one piece?)
Penne alla vodka (good)
gemelli with sausage/​broccolli rabe (I didn’t have, but heard it was good)
Mixed veggies (good)
Kids station: I think the adults enjoyed this just as much as the kids — chicken fingers, french fries, sliders and mozzarella sticks. ALL REALLY GOOD!
We also had a house salad, rolls and little butter balls that people thought were the cutest thing ever.
Liquor:
We had a little snafu with the liquor. Do yourself a favor, either do open bar or stick with the beer/​wine/​soda. Do NOT pay by keeping a tab. We decided on beer, wine, soda and we’d keep a tab. At my first son’s communion, we did open bar and no one drank. So we thought we’d be safe with just keeping a tab this go around. Of course, as our luck would have it, less than an hour into the party, EVERYONE was drinking and our maitre D informed us of our huge tab. He did try to make a deal with us, which was quite a bit more than what Vicky had quoted us for a premium open bar in the first place earlier in the week. My husband was less than thrilled that he wouldn’t give us the price orginally quoted for an open bar… especially being we had 7 people that were no shows and had to pay for them anyway (vicky had put the cost of 3 of those towards the liquor bill, but no more). But our hands were tied because we couldn’t close it down an hour into the party. So we paid. My husband was NOT happy. But it was what it was… now we know for the future…
Dessert
We had gotten our cake from Villabate, so we were able to get the ice-​cream sundae bar which was a big hit! They also put pastries on the tables as well. (and then the wrapped up the leftovers to take home). We also had a candy table that we had set up from an outside vendor. Dyker was very good with helping her set up.
All in all, I thought the Maitre’ D’ and the servers were very attentive, the room and the whole venue were so beautiful and the food was great. If it weren’t for the whole liquor ordeal, I would have given 5 stars.

If you aren’t interested in hosting a fundraiser event a great way to do that is to tell the organization that you allow outside catering for certain groups of people but not to other groups of people, because the other group of people (that match that organizations identity) are cheap and will want to hold more events at that venue. This tactic works best when the group you accommodate has a major political conflict with the group the organization belongs to. Push your disinterest further buy bringing a guy in a suit and tie to meet the 2 representatives from the national civil rights organization and make him talk in a duck voice to them. That will show them you are not interested in their business, you’re culturally insensitive and don’t put much thought into ensuring your employees treat everyone fairly.
FYI this is a venue in Brooklyn.

Wow. Wedding Venue Review =).
Food: the salmon I had was surprisingly great! I honestly did not expect much. Other things that were served were standard fare. The bartenders and servers were all quite fun.
This is one of those interesting little gems — it’s a very quiet park, but the area around it is bustling with traffic and lots of other activity. I parked at the golf course and walked over to the wedding venue just as the valet was getting ready to go home. Scored free parking =).

Im just going to say i like the area… great golf course!
Dyker Beach Golf Course on 86^th Street and Seventh Avenue in Brooklyn… take the R train to 86^th Street (and Fourth Avenue) …short walk or you can take one of several buses that go along 86^th Street…
Ps: Dyker Heights is a lovely neighborhood… great pizza… bakeries and restaurants…

This review is for the clubhouse for a wedding event.
My sister in law had her wedding here this past month.
I loved the look of the room — very classy and elegant. Minimal decorating is needed on your part. You’d just need to work on the table settings for added classiness.
For me, the food was standard wedding food, but nonetheless, still tasty. They start you with a salad, then a bowl of pasta, then the main course. The beef that I had for the main course was really tender. So I enjoyed that.
Sadly, I didn’t get to taste the cake because I was very much enjoying the chocolate fountain that they had for dessert! It was a standard fountain with bananas, strawberries, rice crispy treats, etc that you can dip into the fountain. I think, they also had a crêpe station. But I didn’t pay too much attention to that.
The attendants at this establishment are so attentive. I was very pleased that they looked after the bride and the bridal party with care. The groomsman had a problem with their bow tie and the attendant pulled out a sewing kit and started sewing the bow tie back together! *thumbs up*!
I enjoyed my overall experience and Dyker!

A solid, classic neighborhood course. South Brooklyn is lucky to have her.
I’ve been in NYC for a bit over a year, and I’m trying play as many of the courses in the area as possible. This course is accessible by the R train after a 10 minute walk from the 86^th St stop, although the R Train can be quite unreliable. Also, the R Train is not running from Manhattan.
Generally flat, with a bit of elevation change. Course was in pretty good condition, greens were fair and in pretty good shape, especially for a public course that gets a lot of play. On a Saturday morning, $ 48 for an NYC resident to walk, $ 68 to ride, similar to the other city courses.
The pro shop is cramped, but reasonably well stocked. The employees were all friendly. The bar /​grill-​room was nice and spacious, with flat-​screen TVs. The classic brick clubhouse was gorgeous.
Onto the course itself: straightforward, not too challenging by any means. Well-​maintained. The staff did a great job raking the bunkers, but the sand itself was quite rocky. Fundamentally, not a difficult course. The better player might get bored here. The course was only 6400 yards from the tips, with a rating of 70.5 and a slope of 118. By my recollection, there are very few risk/​reward holes.
This course does not have a driving range. The putting green is nice. What is awesome about this *area* is that, nearby, there is a «Junior Golf Center» run by the city (as opposed to being run by American Golf Corporation). It has a few short practice holes, and a 40-​yard driving range. More courses need these! An excellent, cheap way to introduce youth to the game. Especially if you’re a child, one of the best ways to get good at golf is by repetition. Pounding balls for hours at the range all summer really will make you a better golfer. This facility allows kids to drastically and economically improve their golf game.
Not every golf course needs to be a «championship golf course». Given that this is one of the few courses in a borough with 2 million people, they’ll likely always have a steady flow of customers.
Given the lack of «challenge» /​«brilliant holes» on this course, along with the fact that it’s a 90 minute commute for me by public transit, I likely won’t be returning here any time soon. But, as a golf nut, if I lived nearby, I’d play here a lot.
This course does a fantastic job of offering up an enjoyable golf experience.
