Willow is a fantastic muni that All Long Islanders should swing by to check it. It offers a lot of really nice scenic holes. The par three 2nd and par 5 5th are two premium holes that offer a lot to the eye. The course can challenge any HC as the back tees play very long but the blue tee box is more than suitable for the skilled golfer. The biggest problems with Willow are the pace of Play and the greens. Pace of play tends to come to a screeching halt weekday afternoons as you will surely catch the group in front of you by the time you cross over the road for the par 4 8th. This makes it tough for the weekday warrior to get in a round if he hasn’t teed off by 4:30 in peak season. Beyond that the course is very lovely with gorgeous rough, fairways and very playable bunkers. The greens however are extremely soft.
Overall it’s worth it to play. It’s a top 10 muni on the island for me.

The course is horrendously kept. The greens have peach fuzz so you won’t get any pure rolls. A lot of zig zag run outs. Around the green is horrendous it’s about 25% grass and the rest of the apron is crap. Muddy patchy it’s just bad. I can’t stress enough how important it is to give your business to the courses that actually take care of themselves . It will be my last time playing the swamp.

Its your typical priced course, with the help of golf now you can save a few bucks on hot deals but the course is gorgeous, well worth it. The grass is well kept, they are even in the middle of updating a couple of holes for the scenic value as well as game play. It plays short for the most part but its still a fairly challenging course for the average golfer. Really well maintained.

this course riding should maybe be a $25-28 course, the traps are just rocky sand and off the fairway and greens is just poorly maintained grass. Its a par 65, the course layout is pretty poor as well. If your looking to take a first timer out then this may be your place but if your looking for some good golf, for a few extra bucks you can really get more value. Even Heatherwood in Centereach is way beyond this course.
