Classic Old Style Course

This Course is a gem. Once a Private Club, now Public, it has all the nuances of an Old Style Club with respect to the Course. Tough, tree lined Fairways at times, to subtle Green slopes and difficulties, to scenic views ... this Course does not disappoint.
New Mgmt has greens and bunkers back in shape ...compared to 15 yrs ago ... and it only makes this track better ! Once overgrown, the Greens now are classic Northeast Golf style .....grainy and with movement you can't see ...unless you're looking for it.
If you are looking for a new Course to try, this is definitely it !! Rumors of closing have been in place for 10 yrs .... and with any luck, the right Mgmt will help this Gem remain for years to come !!

Terrific Old Style Golf Course

This is a real Gem. A once private CC, now Public, with all the charm of a Country Club in a Public Course. The REAL Sin is .....it's CLOSING !! Yep ....for real this Time. Insiders tell me September is when it closes ...to become Houses !!! The new Management Group who "saved" this Course from it's last closing, have done wonderful things in helping Locust Valley recover it's fabulous, challenging Country Club style. By now, it's in amazing shape and if you haven't played it yet, you're missing out !! HURRY !!! There's only a few months left !!

Reading CC

A Classic Old Style Golf Course. This is a must play !!! The very first time my playing Partner took me here, I was in love. The Course sets up in a true Old Style manner .... with tree lined Fairways, and medium size Greens, where Seasonal conditions make the Course harder as the Season wears on. We purposely wait until late Spring to play here, because the further into the Season, the tougher it gets. Greens in the heart of the Season can be punishing if you miss it on the wrong side, and as the they will hold (always !) but the speed increases as the grass matures, and the rolls become truer with every passing week ... as does the difficulty of ANY putt !!! In prime time, a 5 footer will knock ANYONE's knees !! The off-course amenities are improving immensely, but as one who goes for Golf, you will NOT be disappointed !!!
