The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A friendly, well-kept town nine with forgiving fairways and a casual feel, a solid resident value, but the one thing everyone agrees on is that pace of play is brutal, with nine holes often dragging close to a full eighteen’s worth of time.
Consistently praised
- A forgiving layout and decent conditioning for a town muni.
- A genuine bargain for Hempstead residents and a low-pressure place to bring a beginner.
Worth knowing
- Pace is the consistent gripe; expect a nine to play like a half-day.
Golfers recommend
- Tee off early or late; midday backups are routine.
- Treat it as a casual loop or a beginner round, not a serious tune-up.
