The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
One of Long Island’s better Arthur Hills layouts, a 27-hole property with sandy ground, oaks and pines, generous corridors and plenty of bunkering. The Pines/Valley combo gets praise as the more interesting of the three pairings, with scale and elevation that feel bigger than most of the metro.
Consistently praised
- Sandy, pine-lined terrain that does not feel like typical Long Island parkland.
- A three-nine layout that gives the round real variety hole to hole.
Worth knowing
- Now fully private, so access is the issue, not the golf.
Golfers recommend
- Keep it in play off the tee; the bunkering is everywhere.
- Pay attention to elevation; several approaches play a club different.
