Good course, needs touching up

Nice layout, but needs some touching up all around: many tee boxes are not level and lumpy, some bunkers need sand fill, and there has to be better water management. Nice to see some tee boxes already aerated and some cleaning up from the winter going on. Hope this continues, because it's an interesting golf course and fun to play.

9 hole gem

Course is is great shape for the use it receives day in and day out. Greens are very good, tee boxes have grass, bunkers have great sand in them, and the layout is well- done . The ease of the course attracts a lot of casual golfers and pace of play is often slow, but it’s still a pleasure to play this course. Hope it stays as it is!!

Good, could be great

This is a good course, but it could be great with some touching up. Greens are excellent and roll great. Bunkers have good sand in them. Fairways are in good shape. But tee boxes are like sandy mounds rather than flat and square, and many bunkers are rough around the edges. Could use at least one ball washer on the course! No drinking water available at all. So while it’s a nice course to play with several challenges and a nice clubhouse, some improvements could be made to bring it to greatness.

Aeration

More than half the fairways were scratch-line aerated, making play a bit difficult. So the normally excellent conditions were not so great. Also found that some traps had a lot of pebbles. Finally, greens were sprinkled with a light sand layer, affecting putts at times, though the greens seemed to roll very well. We understand this is all necessary to keep the course in good shape, but it was just a bit disappointing not knowing this in advance. Will definitely be back.

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.

Busy

It’s August and everyone’s playing golf! So expect slower play. Course was in good condition. Greens very nice. Most people ride but I walked and it’s very walkable. No benches or water fountains on the course so be prepared or get something before you play.

Slow Sunday

I love the layout of this course, but tee boxes need work (many have no grass) and pace of play was terrible (4.5 hours for 13 holes… had to walk off, could not finish, would have been 5.5 hours for 18). Rangers did very little, even though holes were open in front of us. Starter was very friendly and the food in the clubhouse was excellent. Halfway house was also excellent and well stocked. Just wish people played faster. I’ll be back, but on a weekday.

Top notch

Even in the hot summer days this course is top notch. Course layout is awesome. Very well kept. Lots of elevation changes, challenging approaches, deep bunkers. This is easier if the two at the JW Marriot and more forgiving.

Incredible course

Fabulous course on many levels, from the outstanding clubhouse to the amazing views on every one of the 18 holes. No hole is the same, lots of challenges, high quality course to play. I'm not sure if it's worth $800-1000 to play, as you may see, so look for a better deal.

Hilly old track

Very simple old style course loaded with hills and elevation changes. No fairways, but tees and greens are in place. A bit dry right now due to so little rain. Fun to play, peaceful place, great clubhouse restaurant. Nice views.

Lots of improvements!

Been playing this course since the mid 1980s and so happy to see many improvements to the course and facilities over the past year or two! Brand new tee box at #2 is most welcome. New cart paths are also excellent. Great layout with fast greens. About half the greens were aerated but it wasn’t too bad. Grass still not grown in yet, but it’s still early in the season. Course was very dry… no watering and no rain recently. When summer rolls around this will be a super place to play!

Dry track

Great layout, but very dry with no recent rain or watering. Balls rolling all over the place and off the greens. Greens were recently aerated but still fine to play on. Sand traps have new sand!

Great 9 hole track

Not a long course, but you still need to make your shots and beware of bunkers and tree lines. Flat, without water, and relatively easy to play, which brings many beginners and amateurs, who hit the ball all over the place, so you can have delays in play. But the course is well-kept and it's very pleasant to play.

Nice layout with challenging, narrow holes. Grass not growing yet as it is early spring, but the course was in good condition. Very walkable. Nice clubhouse/facilities.

Goose-insula

Geese have invaded this normally excellent 9-hole course! Most fairways were heavily "fertilized" with green cigars, though thankfully tee boxes and greens were clear. I always love playing here, but I guess with the off-season upon us new "players" are playing the course with their nitrates. Looking forward to coming back in the spring when things are better.

Old favorite

Been playing here since I was a boy and it’s still great. Greens were rolling well, fairways very good, just one or two tee boxes needed work. Sand traps were great. As a muni the course has always been a little rough around the edges, but it’s a great track and highly recommended.

Pleasant round!

Course was in great shape for mid November. Lots of people playing, despite the semi-rainy weather, but the round was 4 hours which was great. The course could use touching up around the edges, but greens, fairways, and bunkers were good. A pleasure to play and a local favorite.

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.
