Pine Hills Country Club
Played On 07/18/2018Par for the course
Not too bad, I’ve definitely played it when it’s been in better condition, the greens were in ok shape but definitely could’ve been a lot better. It’s to be expected at a public course, but the pace of play was less than ideal, when a twosome is holding up a foursome there’s definitely an issue there. All in all, not my worst experience at a course.
Pine Ridge Golf Club
Played On 05/10/2017Needs improvement
I have played here a few times this year, and the only thing getting better are the greens which are finally healing from aeration...I know the weather hasn't been the greatest, but that should've prompted a later aeration schedule, so you don't wind up with greens still healing over a month later, along with everything else that isn't close to 100% ("rough" on the side of fairways non-existent, lots of bare patches, and packed dirt in bunkers)...with that said, Ray in the pro shop is amazing and really makes the experience a bit better...overall it's not terrible, but, and with all due respect, I think Billy Casper Golf should do something about this property if they are going to continue to have their name associated with it
Great Rock Golf Club
Played On 08/17/2016Good course even with summer damage
I always enjoy playing at Great Rock, and this was my first time back in a while, and even though this dry and scorching summer has certainly taken it's toll on the golf course (along with most others in the area), I still enjoyed my round and the quick pace it was played at.
Swan Lake Golf Club
Played On 06/14/2015Disappointed
Not sure where to begin here, I never write negative reviews about courses but this will be my first. I did not bring my clubs with me from out of town so I used a rental set, which I was charged $30 for, and the value of the set probably wasn't even that much, they were very outdated and cheap clubs and I can't believe that a place that supposedly is "The Nicest Course on Long Island" (according to their website) would have them. The cart fleet is outdated for sure and needs to be switched out for newer. The pace of play was terrible, even for the in-season, it took an hour and a half for the first 4 holes and the only thing that opened up the course for us was the fact that we got beer from the beverage cart girl and the delay there gave the many groups in front of us time to get ahead. The course itself is in decent condition, but the greens were in bad shape, I know it was a bad winter here but I would have expected better from, again, "The Nicest Course on Long Island", especially having played here before on numerous occasions, it was a huge letdown and I don't think I'll be back there again.
Rolling Oaks Golf Course
Played On 10/11/2014Probably won't return here
I made a tee time and even though it was raining I still showed up with the two other people in my group. When we got there they had a sign up saying that the course was closed, and when I tried to call there was no one in the pro shop to handle cancellation of reservations or make notifications about the course being closed for the day. I realize this is a small operation and is essentially a par 3 course but there needs to be some level of professionalism at a GOLF course.
Island's End Golf & Country Club
Played On 09/23/2014Much Improved Course
I have played this course before in the past and the conditions were normally a little run down, but they have improved this course greatly. They had recently aerated but the greens were starting to roll nicely. My only complaint is about the pace of play, I went out as a single and either no one was willing to let me play through or the people behind me were unwilling to join up, I spent almost 10 min on every tee box and in the fairways waiting for the greens to clear, I quit after a 2 1/2 hr front 9 because I couldn't put up with the wait any longer. The course is beautiful though and I will definitely return.
Regulation Eighteen at Smithtown Landing Golf Club
Played On 12/3/2013Did not enjoy this course
Course was in good shape for the time of year, but every green had two holes, which became a nuisance after a while....driving range left a lot to be desired, the whole thing was on a downhill slant and only irons were allowed....maintenance crew was filling and creating new holes on the greens while I was chipping and putting with no regard for what I was doing. Will not play here again unless it is a much more discounted price.
