Willow Creek Golf & Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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
Willow creek 9/17
Pace of play was horrendous, played 3 holes in less than 25 mins and the next 4 holes in 1 hr and 15 mins. 2 groups on each tee and no ranger or starter around. We had to play the front 9 twice to finish before dark. Excellent golf course and clubhouse but the course itself needs to be managed for people to want to come back. If you want to charge a premium because the course is excellent then you have to manage the people who do not know how to play golf. Terrible experience.
Great
Course was in fine condition considering they aerated not long ago. Great layout: holes are challenging and interesting. Great clubhouse and practice facility. Played in 3.5 hours with a noon tee time- probably not the usual time but we’ll take it! Highly recommend but not for beginners as it is challenging with lots of hazards.

Great Course but pricey
This is one of our favorite courses on Long Island, except for the cost, Not sure why but we played this course earlier in the year and it was less expensive ($72), why would the prices go up at the end of the season($83)? This is the only reason we do not play this course more often, and it is not on our regular rotation.
Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Willow Creek Golf & Country Club. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Great course
This course is the best it gets for value and enjoyment. The course is difficult given the sand and water hazards but gives your chances to succeed if you can hit decent drives and conservative second shots. Great course. I will be back for sure.

A beautiful track.
As usual, my own play was the only thing that detracted from my experience. They could have kept the cart person out and the halfway house opened a little later.
We apologize if your experience was affected by our cart person and the timing of the halfway house. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for leaving a review.
Golfday
Course is usually it tip top shape but because of the aeration the greens were horrible ruining a nice round of golf they should charge half price for a month after the aerate to be nice to the golfers
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the aeration process and the condition of the greens during your round of golf. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your feedback.
Nice track
Other then standing water on the course, the very worst trap conditions I’ve ever played in over 50 years, and some slow play on our second nine, I liked the course an awful lot! If those three above items we not experienced I’d rate this course a top facility. The traps are obviously under repair however there were so many rocks in each trap that it was COMPLETELY unacceptable. One of our foresome actually damaged their new SW which was a bummer. I’d go back but ask the shop some questions first.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our course. We sincerely apologize for the standing water, poor trap conditions, and slow play that you experienced during your round. We appreciate your feedback and will work to address these issues to ensure a better experience for our future visitors.
Review
I’ve been to this course many times, and I always leave with the same opinion. It has such potential to be a beautiful course if the grounds crew can keep the course in better condition (the course is extra soft in many places throughout because of how wet it is). Also, to ride 9 holes for $45 is HORRENDOUS for twilight hours. Overall, this course is on my list because of its closeness to my home, but it wouldn’t be my first or second choice.
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that your experience at our course has not met your expectations. We understand your concerns about the course conditions and pricing, and we will take them into consideration in our efforts to improve. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

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.
