About

Holes 9
Type Public
Par 36
Length 3129 yards
Slope 126
Rating 35.1

Spring Lake Golf Club offers 27 holes of championship golf located in the heart of Long Island. The two courses, the 18-hole Thunderbird and the nine-hole Sandpiper, may be different lengths but they are equally challenging. Don't underestimate the Sandpiper Course, this layout is more rigorous than what you would expect from a nine-hole layout. The course is situated alongside the club's namesake lake, offering beautiful views as well as a few water hazards. The round begins with its signature hole. This risk-reward par 5 is dotted with multiple lakes and the green has water to the right and back and bunkers to the left. There are many ways to approach this hole, you can play it safe or take a risk and try going for the green in two.

Off Day for Course

First off I had a tee time booked for 8:45. They day before I get an email saying my tee time has been moved to 8:22. I thought that was odd. What would have happened if I didn't see the email and came at 8:45. Should have at least gotten a phone call.

Right away we get backed up, then by the third hole there are 3 groups waiting. One of the Rangers came by and said that the person who was supposed to open up overslept, so instead of starting at. 6am they started at 7am. Then later comes by around the 13 th hole to tell us to speed up when we were waiting for the group in front of us to tee off every hole. The other customer service issue was the beverage cart came around only once. Eventually tracked the girl down who was hanging under some trees looking at her cell phone.

The course itself was in great shape. Nice layout, perfect greens. I might try it again if there was a good deal, but I'm not going out of my way to do so.

Good round

I have played this course many times in the last 10 years and it's never been in better shape. Only big problem was pace of play. Group in front of us had 3 groups waiting at times. No rangers or staff members were there to help alleviate. Staff for the most part was friendly excepting the stater who was uncommunicative. Food was good and beverage cart was readily available on course. Overall a good round with good value for the money.

Always a challenge, never a disappointment

Although the 4th hole should be a par 5 rather than a par 4, it is the best 9 holes I've played. Always look forward to playing this course

Under appreciated course

My uncle and I played for the 4th time this season. We both shoot in low 80's and use to break into the 70's when in better condition. The course was excellent. We played 3 rounds from Blue making the course 6900 yards. Most par 4's were 400+. Makes a good challenge. One round we paired up with some other guys and played White. Course was shorter but a ton of fun as well from white. Many trees, drives that have to make it down shoots and large beautiful greens

Good course

Course was in great shape. It's a fair course in that the risk/reward factor is good. Good shot gets rewarded, bad shot gets penalized. It's a course you have to really think your way around.

Staff - You judge

Show up as normal 1 hr prior to TT. No one on PG , DR or TB but made us wait for our exact TT before allowing us to play. Even made a 2 wait for 4 (us) because we were both GolfNow. Not friendly or smart if you ask me.

No mulligans

It was a fast round and the course was absolutely gorgeous. The only issue was there was a foursome with a guy in jeans playing that were playing pretty slow until we reached the 10th hole and we played through them and the course played 1hr and 30 min on the back. So I think it probably would have played 3 hrs to 3 1/2 hrs total if it wasn't for those guys hitting mulligans on each hole.

Public Course Gem

Wow. Played it 5/29 and it was in magnificent shape. I play from the tips and it is very Challenging. Tree-lined fairways, doglegs, big undulating greens, and uphill approach shots will really test your game. Nonetheless, even for a "weekend golfer" or leisure-golfer, the course offers many scenic holes and enjoyable moments. This is the place to play.
