People are crazy

How can one review say it’s awful and another say it’s great!! I I’ve read several reviews on golf sites stating this course is atrocious and unplayable. The reviewer who posted how good this course is needs to see an eye doctor.

Fire the superintendent

Besides large aeration holes, greens had patches all over the place. Fairways had dirt hard pan everywhere. This course superintendent or owners need to be out of the game. Pitiful to call this a golf course. Wouldn’t let a 5 yr old play here. Every year it gets worse and worse

Excellent shape

Aeration was scrapped about a month ago. Greens cut and fast! Best greens on a public course now. Pricey but worth it. Especially with everyone else just aerating recently. Rest of course is also in great shape

Poor shape

This course track is great. Usually in good shape. Don’t know what happened this summer. Crab grass overgrown on most tee boxes. Greens slow as crap. Fungus on some greens. Fairways aren’t what they used to be. Not even in the top 20 public courses on Long Island right now

Poor course conditions

Played here on their opening day, and course was in ok condition. This time course was in deplorable conditions compared to across the street at their sister course. Fairways were barren of grass. Around the greens were patchy. Bunkers had no definition and some had grass growing in them. We played on a Sunday. Sister course The Links is in incredible shape. Don’t know why they let this course go. Shame, it’s a great tough layout.

Ridiculous

Haven’t played here in 2 years. Gave them enough time to fix the course. It hasn’t rained since Wednesday You would figure a course Rated better than Bethpage Black would have the course playable on a Sunday in the summer. . . Tee boxes hadn’t been mowed for at least a week. They had 4 days to mow the tee boxes. Laziness, because there’s real potential to get this course back in great shape.

Hi, Keith. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recovery the fairways, greens and tee boxes. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We are glad to see you rated the rest of your visit to be great during your game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Great Rock. We hope to see you again soon.

Course is hard and fast. Fairways are rolling great. Greens fast and a little tough to hold. Most wedges roll out a bit. Compared to some of the other courses around, worth a hot deal. Weekdays are fair priced. Weekend play asking too much in my opinion.

3-4 Years before playable

This course is unplayable. Every hole was under repair. It looks like this course has been sitting for 2 years without upkeep. They had trucks driving on the course dropping dirt and topsoil into bunkers while we were putting. Very dangerous, see pictures. Aeration was horrible. Golfnow didn't have aeration alert or course under repair listed at all. We asked politely after the second hole if there was any way to get a refund. The course said we needed to ask Golfnow. I've never been so upset at a golfing experience. This course is about 3-4 years away from being a $50 course, let alone the $99 +fees per person I paid for myself and my guest. I was so embarrassed taking him here, after the nice course he took me to. Golfnow should pull this course!!!!!!! I've been looking for a email of Golfnow but can't find one online. This was a horrible and embarrassing experience. Why is Golfnow putting this course on it's website!!!!!

I am the head golf golf pro here at Cedar Brook. I would like to apologize to the group that had a poor experience, thats not what we want. I wish someone had explained to you before hand we are renovating a few of our sand traps and that we had air raided the greens a month ago. I can understand you being upset. I would like to offer your group a complimentary round as a way to say we are sorry. in a week the greens will be in perfect condition and I feel we can give you a better experience. Again sorry for the inconvenience.

Slow Slow Slow

I understand Bethpage Black walking taking 5 1/2 hours but teeing off at 1:45 on a Saturday shouldn't be as bad. 3 hours to do front nine. Ranger said its really backed up, you might want to do front again. There had to be an outing or just a group of 30 people all together. They were watching each other's shots and waiting for different groups to hit and watching from the next tee boxes. Horrible job to the starter and ranger. They just drove around but didn't enforce anything.

Good bang for the buck

Visiting family and needed to get out. Pleasantly surprised, this course was in great shape. Tough yardages left after tee shots. Challenging course, with no need to be like the other idiots out there playing from the blues!!! Needed a ranger to stop these wannabes. Why shoot 90's from the blues when you can shoot 80's from the whites. Other then them holding up play as usual, would definitely play here again

Poor course management

6 hour round? This course is being sold, September 1. The workers don't Care anymore, and the course condition is going in the tank and nobody seems to care. Greens are trashed, marks and uneven growing of grass on them. Don't think they are watering anymore. We've received little rain and these fairways are brown. Sad to see this course go. Was one of the top public courses on the Island. Wish someone there cared a little

Course maintenance

A few months ago 5" of sand in the bunkers, today 1/4-1/2" of sand in every bunker. Ridiculous!!! Was like hitting off the cart path from green side bunkers. They need to fix immediately. A bit on the pricey to have maintained bunkers like these. Hopefully someone from there sees this and makes appropriate changes

Dear Customer,

I am sorry you had such a bad experience due to our bunkers. We are just finishing on two extensive projects that include a drainage system(to improve greens), and a brand new irrigation system (to improve tee boxes, fairway, and greens). After these projects are finished we plan to do a full bunker renovation. If you could please e-mail me @ josephflanaganiv@gmail.com, and I will make your experience better for next time.

Sincerely,
Joe F

Windy day on a beautiful course. Must play if price is right. We got a hot deal and well worth it. Course needs about 3-5 more weeks for the greens to heal from aeration but still in great shape. Staff are very polite.

Poor management

They need to start pairing up twosomes!!! Slows play down way to much. But the biggest problem is the ridiculous pin placements!!! Everyone complaining and three putting and four putting these absolutely ridiculous placements is uncalled for. Even the Opens are fairer. Putting on a 45* or worse slope is just stupid. And this is coming from a 12 handicap. Now imagine 20+ trying to play.

Worst Course Management I've seen in 27 years!!!!!

Sent groups out B4 tee times. Ranger said there were people spread out and backed up in front of us n he couldn't do anything. Meanwhile there was room for the guys ahead to pick up the pace. He needs to quit because other well run courses will throw people off the course if they don't pick up the pace. Never in 27 years of playing did it take me 6 hours to play. We teed off around 2:00/2:30 and finished after 8:00. If you have a whole day to waste, the course is beautiful. Just need rangers who will do there job. Disgrace

Look for a Hot Deal or play in the afternoon

Course is absolutely in great shape. $110 in the morning a bit pricey but a hot deal or $70 in the afternoon is definitely worth it. One of the must play public courses on Long Island. I'll definitely pay the extra $20/25 to play here compared to other courses that are always under repair.
