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.

Love this course
Over priced but kept in immaculate condition, and the staff is so friendly. One negative, they don’t have any yardage markers anywhere in the fairways.

Top course
One of the top public courses on Long Island. Well maintained and a pleasure to play. Greens are always great. Great layout- lots of challenges! Only complaint- some bunkers had large stones that really should be raked out and removed.

Beautiful grounds and good upkeep of the fairway and greens
Very enjoyable course to play. From the time you arrive you are treated like a private member. The fairways, fringe and greens were cut well. Understandably, there was some aeration and the pricing reflected that. I always look forward to playing here. Thank you

Challenge course
Nice and tough golf course in Long Island, but new golfers really slow and make you upset, .

Great course in great condition but slow play
We’ve played this course multiple times this summer and it’s one of our favorites. It’s a challenging layout in great condition. No two holes are alike. I’d rate this course 5-stars except for the fact that the rangers don’t do much to speed up the pace of play. The round took over 5 hours because several holes ahead of us there was a foursome holding everyone up (with 3 open holes in front of them). The time we played before we skipped several holes to get around slow players.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Willow Creek Golf & Country Club!
Should of told us
First let me say I love this golf course. When we check in we should of been informed that while we we playing, the maintenance staff was going to be aerating the fairway s and the surrounding areas. We were subjected to unbelievable dust and dirt on our clothes and our eyes and breathing. we’re greatly impaired. We completed the 18 holes because we’re crazy about the game like all you guys out there. Here’s the rub, we’ll definitely be back because we love this course. I just think the course management should of thought this through and not subject it’s players to these conditions. Sorry guys, you blew it!
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We strive for a 5-star experience, so we welcome your feedback. We work hard to maintain the course for everyone's benefit, which means aerifying the greens as part of our regular maintenance schedule. The greens will be healed soon and in pristine condition. Please come back soon for the 5-star experience you expect at Willow Creek Golf & Country Club.

Always a great experience
My favorite course in the area. The course is always maintained well, pace of play as good as it can be and the staff is always pleasant. Played on an overcast day with storm approaching but was great anyhow. The only issue was course maintenance following us on each hole when course was fairly empty. Changing their direction of travel would have made it ideal.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Willow Creek Golf & Country Club.
Mostly a great golf course
I have enjoyed a seasonal tee time for several years and thanks to the terrific layout and challenges the course never disappoints. One persistent problem that must be addressed is that the bunkers have far too many stones in them and the staff has to take the time to rake out the rocks. Nothing worse than taking a swing in the bunker and hearing that clank sound as you struck a stone just under the surface, then watch your ball fly in some unintended direction and distance.

Take the advice.
I will start off with saying willow creek has impressed me and challenged me many times in the past. As of recent this course has turned into an absolute hole. I can drive 10 more minutes easy on 25a and play rolling oaks and have smoother greens and a better time (a Brookhaven town course by the way).
Before righting this review I have willow creek 3 separate opportunities through the month of august and September to improve the issues I’ve been having. For starters the greens are absolutely horrible. Players not fixing divots and course keepers not maintaining proper upkeep to keep these greens aligned with standards. Next we have the tee times. I should never, EVER, come to a course for $120 and have a 5 stack in front of me. Where is the ranger? Where are the people caring? I understand golf is about having fun and I will 100% admit I am not a great golfer and fully understand people learning and taking their time. But a 5 stack? Come on. There should be no reason I should ever spend $120 and have to sit behind a 5 stack that’s drinking beers and dropping balls left and right because a ranger doesn’t want to come interfere and do their job. I pay to play golf and I know what’s right and wrong when it comes to taking your time.
Another thing I feel inclined to complain about is the amount of fights I’ve seen at this place. Again I will reiterate I’ve had many wonderful times at willow creek but in the last 2 months of going I’ve seen 3 fights between golfers. I can’t help but think this has to do with jam packing groups just to make more money and people getting frustrated with pace of play. Have a ranger DO SOMETHING.
All in all willlow creek was a great course but do yourself the favor and play somewhere else until these issues are resolved. You’ll thank me later.

Bunkers and greens
The bunkers were horrible. Nobody bothers to rake the traps and the course Superintendant doesn’t seem to care. I could tell that the bunkers weren’t raked by a tractor in a while. The greens were hairy and slow. Disappointing for a course with a good reputation.
I would like to say everyone in the pro shop, the starter the cart man and the girl in the halfway house were wonderful, top notch and professional.
Thank you for visiting us at Willow Creek Golf & Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Bumpy greens
Course is generally good.
Made it very expensive now and greens were bumpy
