The word on the course.

Golfers treat Indian Island as a Suffolk County muni where the headline is value and Peconic River scenery, especially the par 3 5th. Reviewers split on conditioning, with praise for greens complexes and the scenic setting but recurring gripes about slow greens, uneven fairways, and a generic, two-course feel between the nines.
