Love our local course. Decent condition, reasonably challenging, friendly players. Nice views of the water on the first two holes. Nothing luxurious--no bar or restaurant, no driving at the range (irons only), and clunky gas carts. But it mostly works and the prices are responsible. read more

I've lived on the island my whole life, and been local to the area for the last few years and have been a handful of times. It's definitely busier in the afternoon (and it takes SO LONG because the rate of play is so slow), so the earlier you can get there the better. Most recently went for a morning tee time (1st start) with a slight overcast and we had the whole place to ourselves. Course is well maintained and it's a great 9 hole walking course. Can't beat it for the convenience and the price. read more

Nice 9 hole course next to the Norman Levy hike and overlooking the water. Can see the Jones beach pencil from the 3rd hole. Just a few par 3's but the longer holes don't have high grass off the fairway. Great course for walking and can easily find your ball. read more

So let me first qualify this review by saying that I've only been golfing for a approx 1 year. I have been fortunate enough to play at some of the better golf courses in the area such as Tuxedo and Trump Links. That being said Merrick does have a well rounded and challenging 9-hole course that allows one to use all clubs. Grounds are well kept and there is a decent sized putting are as well as a good driving range but no drivers allowed. Scenery is also very unique and the course is built between a Mud Creek and a nature Preserve. read more

I booked a tee time for 1:30, they pushed me back to 3:00 and I had to wait for 2 and a half hours and wasn't aloud to hit any range balls in the mean while. The customer service was terrible and I couldn't be more enraged right now. If I could give it 0 stars, I would. read more

the course itself is in great shape- not so much the Town of Hempstead's computer system. A "new system " was put in place 4/24/2024. Since that time, there have been no openings to be found during normal business hours. This leads one to believe that automated programs are kicking in at the stroke of midnight each day for tee times 15 days in advance, It was never this booked up and usually there were a few openings in the afternoon. There are still NO PENALTIES for no-shows as far as one can tell- i.e. no warnings on the website for those who book numerous slots. I think Mr Clavin needs to look into this matter. My best bet I guess is to call the Town hotline- I'll keep Yelp posted!! read more

It is a 5-star golf course. The best kept 9-hole course in Nassau County. Prices are great and the people and management are fine. Here's my only complaint which will easily take my 4 -star review straight to 5 stars. The pace of play is often too slow. For example, last outing it took an unacceptable 3.5 hours to get through our round. This could easily have been corrected if they had Rangers pushing the pace of play. You have a lot of non-golfers that can't play golf or just don't care holding the groups behind them back making it so unfair. It's hard to maintain concentration when you are waiting 10 minutes + to tee off on almost every hole. PLEASE get some Rangers out there to push pace of play! I'm sure I'm not the only golfer complaining about this. Thank you! read more

Played Merrick for the first time in many years. What a transformation. The course is beautifully manicured and the greens are perfect. Almost three hours to play nine holes is a bit slow, but not unusual for a course that appeals to older players. As always, there are gorgeous views from nearly every hole. I will be playing Merrick regularly from now on. read more

This is strictly for the driving range. Really fair priced and usually pretty quiet during the week. I'm trying to get better at my swing but I hate being watched or surrounded by too many people feeling judged. Irons only so don't even bother bringing your whole set. Perfect place to go and workers are very nice! read more

First time. Came to support Soriorty group. It was dark so I wasn't able to see the entire grounds clearly. But for the most part. The building itself was clean. read more

Little gem, love location, practice putting green and driving range. Great to walk course, on a good day 9 holes in 2 hours.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Myself and my buddies are new to golf so we decided to go this morning. My friends are left handed and requested 2 left handed sets of clubs when we got there. They said they didn't have any..what kind of place are you running here man? You guys got something against left handed people? After pleading our case that we were new to the sport, they wanted nothing to do with us and went straight into giving us our money back rather than encouraging us about trying a new sport. I'd go to lido beach and play if I were you. read more

Merrick if the best nine-hole course in Nassau County. The staff are friendly & helpful. If you are new to golf, lessons are a must with Al & Walter. You wouldn't sit at a piano & play Chopin as a beginner; golf is no different. You can have your clubs re-gripped at the pro shop. Love the driving range--it's has lights. read more

First time I went here, the staff gave me bogus information. I've played the course and hit some balls at the driving range several times. The course is okay, but it's drainage is for the birds (which there are many, being next to Merrick Bay). Cost is not bad for a resident: $14 - $16. The course is basically flat, the putting greens aren't well kept, but it is convenient. read more

I'm new to golf so this was my first shot at legitimate golf holes. There are a few interesting holes and I think the first one which bends along a canal is sort of interesting, but it's a generally flat and straight forward course. It's very inexpensive to play and quite busy at times read more

This review is for the Get Golf Ready lessons at Merrick Golf Course. My husband and I signed up for 5-week GGR program and received instruction from Albert and Walter. The class is geared to beginners, and we found it to be informative and very useful in improving our golf skills. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I showed up to the course at 7am to a long wait. Me playing on my own thought I would have to wait 30 maybe 40 minutes. The wait said 45 mins so I figured at the worst would be that long. I sat for over an 1 and 20 minutes and there were still 4 foursomes a head of me. There was no ranger moving anyone along so, finally I gave up and asked for my money back only to be told no refunds. I mentioned the wait was supposed to be 45 mins and I came as a single the cashier told me the sign says an hour and 15 min now and I know the time when I paid. Great customer service you!! You just lost a local to play at your course! read more
