The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
Golfers describe Glen Oaks as a modern, immaculately conditioned 27-hole layout in Old Westbury that took a major step forward after a Hurricane Sandy tree clear-out and the involvement of a former Bethpage Black superintendent. Reviewers consistently mention bold white-faced bunkering, fortress-like greens, and an Augusta-like polish that some love and some find a bit manufactured.
Consistently praised
- Conditioning gets called out as among the best on Long Island, with members often noting the agronomy upgrade post-renovation.
- Bunker style, with tall white faces and sharp edges, gives the course a distinctive look against the hilly site.
- Bigger-stage credibility from hosting a recent PGA Tour playoff event in the Northern Trust era.
Worth knowing
- Players who prefer Golden Age subtlety call the look a bit manicured for their taste, and water comes into play more than at most LI classics.
Golfers recommend
- Pay attention to which nines you are drawing; the Blue and Red pairing plays differently from White-led combinations.
- Be honest about your layup distances around the ponds; greens are well defended and short-siding is brutal.
