Willow Creek Golf & Country Club
About
Willow Creek Golf & Country Club in Mount Sinai sits on Suffolk's scenic north shore. Opened in 2005, it is one of Long Island's newest golf courses but it has already established a reputation for being one of the area's most visually impressive. What makes the course stand out is the abundance of both sand and water. The number of bunkers on the golf course comes close to the triple digits and water appears on 12 holes. The lightning fast, wildly undulating greens are a challenging complement to the hazards. The layout presents a formidable test for even the best players. One of Hamlet Willow Creek's most difficult holes is the monstrous ninth, which features water on both sides of the seemingly endless fairway. With so much water, golfers almost forget about the three large bunkers that are also treacherously lurking on this hole.

First Tee Photo submitted by u000007034608 on 10/30/2013
country club feeling
bunkers , water, fast greens. This course will eat u alive . Great experience. Good place to make you realize your potential.
Overrated
This course is decent, way overpriced for weekend and standard rates. The bunkers were all rocks, greens were pretty beat up. Tee boxes were not that good either. Pace of play was 4 1/2 hours.
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We apologize for any inconveniences you may have encountered and thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We would love to hear more about your positive experience on our course. Thanks for golfing at Willow Creek Golf & Country Club!

Brutally Hot Day
Awesome layout, great conditions, always a challenge. Love this course, even when it’s 101°.
Thank you for visiting us at Willow Creek Golf & Country Club. We appreciate your positive rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Ranger strikes again!
Although the course layout and conditions are enough to make one drive an hour, the Ranger and overall staff friendliness are enough not to give the course a third try. The Ranger can double as a shadow as he makes his present felt. He perched behind us, always as though our group deserved his undivided attention. My buddy and I gave the course a second chance, but the fact that we had a similar experience was enough of a clear message. The course management should either work on their staff or fix their financial situation to then become fully private and not be forced to sell tee times to outsiders.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and share your experience with us. We apologize for the unpleasant encounter with our Ranger and understand how it can affect your enjoyment of the course. We value your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our staff's customer service. Thank you again for your review.

This Gem is Beginning to Lose Some Luster
This has long been my favorite course to play on Long Island. I thoroughly enjoy the layout which is typically in great condition and has a nice blend of risk/reward opportunities. I’ve always found it to be worth it’s relatively high cost. Unfortunately, as amplified during this last visit, I’m concerned with things beginning to slip. A few examples: The staff in the bag drop area are sometimes absent and when present seem to be in a bit of disarray. Clubs are no longer cleaned after the round (or at least that’s been my experience the last few rounds). Both carts in our foursome needed to be replaced during the round—one had its steering mechanism lock up and the other lost its charge. Lastly, a 7-some (!) decided to form in front of us after a few holes. We called and a ranger did come to break them up, but they reformed a few holes later.
PLEASE work harder to keep this course a special place to play.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback! We hope to see you back soon!

Course excellent shape. Fairways and traps and rough. Top semi private course on longisland. Only knock no white sand in traps.

Ranger issues
First off this course is absolutely amazing. Great conditions. It doesn’t get much better for a course. On the 11th hole the ranger came up to my group asking us to pick up the pace. We obviously said we would try and pick up the pace. That should of been the end up it. However he then said how about you go play from the white tees should be quicker. That’s where he went wrong so absolutely unprofessional. I shot an 80 on the day. I don’t need to be told where to play from especially after spending $100. Totally ruined my round. Then he made sure to spy on us and make us feel comfortable. Maybe he was in a bad mood but if this happens again I won’t be going back. Added at least 3 stokes to my game I was so mad.
Ps the group behind us not once ever had to wait for us to clear before teeing off. We finished the hole as they were coming on.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind words about our course. We sincerely apologize for any negative experience you had with our ranger and understand how it might have affected your round. We appreciate your feedback and will do our best to address this issue to ensure it doesn't happen again in the future.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating! We really appreciate your business. Thanks for choosing Willow Creek Golf & Country Club!

No starter
Great course but no starter so we started 10 minutes late. Then no ranger so group in front was taking their time. Very well kept. I’m still waiting to catch the cafe open after front 9.
Thank you for your review. We apologize for the delay in starting the course and the lack of a ranger. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements. We hope you enjoyed the well-maintained course and apologize for any inconvenience regarding the café. Thank you for visiting.
Excellent but slow.
My wife and I try to play here once a week. The course is beautiful and in great shape. We also love the restaurant and usually have dinner after the round. Big complaint is pace of play. We usually tee off around 10 or 11 and have had several rounds of 5 or 5-1/2 hours. I've seen rangers driving around but I'm not sure they have much impact.
Thank you for taking the time to review and rate us. We hope you join us for another round soon!
Willow Creek
Excellent golf course with a resort/Florida feel. Always a pleasure to play. We played a little later than normal for our group. On the third hole , we saw a ranger, and it was apparent that we were backed up from the group in front of us. We were a foursome, following two threesomes. by time we reached the back nine it was a minimum of two holes open in front of the first threesome even though the round was 4 1/2 hours which is not bad it felt much longer because we had to wait on every shot on the back nine. I do not think the Ranger recognized where the problem was as the gap was at least two groups in front of us and it should’ve been a minimum of a half hour shorter round. The course was backed up behind us because of this.
Thank you for taking the time to review and rate us. We hope you join us for another round soon!
