Great Rock Golf Club
About
Opened in 2001, Great Rock Golf Club is one of the newer golf clubs in Long Island but it feels much older thanks to its scenic landscape of rolling green hills covered with mature forests. The mountainous landscape provides plenty of elevation changes that make it difficult to find a flat lie. At 6,254 yards, the course is short but it is still a challenging round with narrow, tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy. There is hardly any water on the golf course but with strategically placed bunkers, sidehill lies, and towering trees to contend with, golfers will hardly notice the absence of water hazards. Great Rock's signature hole is the challenging 10th. This par-4 beast is a double uphill climb with a seemingly flat green, but if you read it that way, you're in for some trouble.

Doesn’t look good.
Love the rock ! That being said, course looks like it’s going out of business. Course is in bad shape unfortunately- to the lack of money I’m assuming.
Great layout and course it was.
Don’t Bother playing here
Do not waste your $$$. The course has fallen in disrepair. Tee Boxes Ofer grown and not mowed, fairways are barely recognizable. The only saving grace were the “ok” greens. The cost has no liquor and is for all intent and purposes an abandoned piece of property. The course closed 4-5 years ago and new ownership came in. Sad that it has come to this. Avoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pace of play was great because no one was there.
Hello, John. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We have projects underway to recover the tee boxes, fairways, greens, and sandtraps. We hope you'll bear with us through this transition and give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Great Rock.
conditions

Great Rock needs work
Course is still a nice track but it is clearly in transition to something. I didn’t realize so much crabgrass could surface so quickly. It is obvious that the owners aren’t doing maintenance. Traps are unkempt tees are loaded with crab grass and the rough and fairways are also overrun with crabgrass and weeds. Former areas of fescue are gone. Water hazards on holes 4 and 14 are now reed filled. The greens are still ok but if they let them go like the rest of the place it will take a ton of cash to salvage it. I hope someone saves the place because the course itself is an interesting track.

Worst Maintained Course Ever
Terrible conditions. Crab grass in the traps. Brown greens. Looks like they are looking to get through the season and then go out of business.

Less than mediocre.
Very interesting and challenging layout with many elevation changes, but the condition the course was in terrible condition. Poorly maintained and bumpy greens, grass growing in bunkers, dying tee boxes. This course could be so much better but it seems almost neglected.

Not so Great Rock
Crab grass has taken over this course. Greens have burn marks on them. Tee boxes are shot. This course used to set up nicely into the summer with the greens firming up to play like country course greens. Don’t know what happened but this place is going downhill. It’s a shame.

Course was great but got caught in a severe thunderstorm after the 9th hole. Suspended play and left course since radar showed another storm approaching. Should have tried to get a rain check for 9 holes but was too wet to try.

Worth a try.
Dan in proshop was great, John was outside tending to landscape. 2 dedicated employees. Workers were observed all over the course getting it in shape. T boxes and fairways were good, greens were hard and fast, bunkers could use some work. Love the layout. Don't believe all negative reports. Can't say enough good about the staff, John and Dan. Course is lucky to have these two as front line ambassadors.

Not So Great Rock
Slow round, 5hrs. Fairways are burnt, greens are in good shape. Need to know the course, lots of blind shots

Needs work
Course has potential, but ownership must improve conditions. They had 12 groups on a beautiful Sunday. I guess everyone else knew about the conditions.
