    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.

    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!

I arrived and paid my course fee $351.89 at 7:08am I've never been there before. I arrived early but they told me there were 2 appointments ahead of us. If you haven't been there the signage is lacking ( on the 1st tee, the white tee location is on a different path then the red tee's. We tee'd off with Someone asking us to hurry up because there was a large group behind us. Upon getting to the 2nd hole, the counter person pulled up and told us, we only have 25 minutes per hole and we we took 37 minutes ( because we couldn't find where to tee off) Upon getting to the 3rd hole ( didnt tee off yet) the employee that checked us in, told us if we didnt hurry up, he will remove us and give us are money back. We'll this just blew my calm day out of the water. Playing Golf is suppose to be enjoyable. I get it. These ranger people book large groups take your money and push you through. So needless to say we left and went to Kissena Park ( so much better, nobody up your ass, and a nice dry course without goose poop all over the place). I wouldn't recommend this location unless you belong to their click and shoot in the 80's. The course was dirty, wet, goose poop everywhere worse of all tge employees were rude. Should have checked the reviews before I went there. Yelp customers rates them at 2.7 stars. Thats a little high in my opinion, spoke to other golfers and they said, I should have called them 1st for their opinion ( every golfer knows this place sucks)

They had plenty of outdoor seating in their patio area which faces their golf course. We ordered some bottles of wine for the table, and then placed our food orders. We started with some appetizers being their kung pao cauliflower, burrata salad, and muscles in red wine sauce. Delish! As my entree I ordered their branzino which came with vegetables and sweet potato fries. The branzino was perfectly cooked and so good. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We definitely left with full bellies! I can't really say anyone in the area should come here as you need a membership, but I had a great experience and look forward to returning!

    Cherry Valley Club was founded in 1916 and its 6,200-yard field was a heathland design. The…read moreheathlands are lowland areas dominated by colorful heather, gorse and bracken. The course has had the touches of Walter J. Travis, Robert Trent Jones then New Jersey architect Stephen Kay, whose renovations stretched the back tees to more than 6,800 yards with other major course reshaping. This was the third time I had played Cherry Valley Golf Club in the last three years as a guest. I found the course sometimes challenging especially when I am trying to find my ball in the long fescue rough. Also they have well protected greens with some difficult bunkers. But overall the course beauty off set its difficult play. We had lunch in the new renovated Members guest grill room seated at the bar area that faced the ninth hole. The restaurant walls and floor were in the traditional wood you would find in most Golf Country Clubs. We ordered a salad with Salmon Fish Taco's and Grill Chicken over salad. Overall lunch was okay but the bartender was Frank was great.

    This is my go to spot for 9 holes when I get out of work early on Fridays. I've played here many…read moretimes, and it has pros and cons. If you show up at a non busy time, which I find Friday's around 3 pm are not busy, you can get right out as a single or even a foursome. If you are a town of Hempstead member, it's $27 to walk 18 holes, as 9 hole rates don't begin til 4 pm. Sometimes you can cruise around quickly, but usually it'll take at least two hours to play 9 as there will be many slower groups out in front of you. The way they send you off is weird too, you go put your name in with the pro shop, and then they call you back in to pay when they are ready for you to head over to the first tee. Kind of strange. There are two janowskis hamburger stands on the property, one after the 3rd hole and one right at the clubhouse, and they also have an indoor 19th hole bar. You can walk, roll a pull cart, or take a motor cart at all times here. Making a tee time is highly recommended if trying to play on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday morning. The greens on the course are slow, and the place is overall not well maintained. Would be nice if they pumped some more cash into this place and got it in great shape, as the views are awesome, and the course has some length, tipping out at just about 7000 yards. A few holes play right along the great South Bay, with boats and cool views in sight all the way around. Apparently, there used to be one of the best private courses in the nation built in this same spot and bearing the same name. However, the current course that is lido beach is not the same as the one from the past, as it was demolished and built over some time ago. I'd say the back 9 is both more exciting and has better holes than the front 9, and is a bit tougher. Highlights include the par 5 16th and par 3 17th. The motor carts are also old, and the pace of play during busy times can be as long as 5 and a half to 6 hours. This is a good place to practice, as you can pretty much hit driver all over, and it's also one of the flattest, if not the flattest, golf courses I've ever played. It will also be cooler here than inland Long Island as the bay and ocean breezes are plentiful. If it rains, this place is wettttt, soggy as it gets. Pro shop is decent, they have your typical shoes (just had a special on Footjoy dnas when I was there), logo balls, towels, shirts, gloves, etc. For the range, you buy a token in the pro shop from the machine on the wall for $5, but the range is terrible. It's mats and irons only, and is located between the 8th and 9th holes. Really wouldn't waste my time at the range. There's a putting green right in front of the clubhouse, which is just as slow as the greens on the course. There's also a chipping green near the first tee. I believe the janowskis stand, which you pass after the 3rd, 6th, and 17th holes, sells beer, hot dogs, soda, water, etc, but I really don't know as I usually bring my own (which you're not supposed to do). There are some bad golfers here too, including true beginners and old ladies walking, try to avoid.

    This course should be considered goat feed. It's in terrible shape while they still charge you…read morefull price. Now I know why it was easy to get a last minute tee time. I should have known that it was going to be rough when I pulled in and the "pro shop" and check-in locations are semi-permanent construction trailers. The course is in TERRIBLE shape. You will lose your ball in the fairway. The greens have brown and dead patches. There are temporary greens that aren't even close to being considered a green. They simply popped a hole in the fairway and stuck a flag in it. It's impossible to putt on these. The course needs a lot of work and definitely not worth the money. Maybe in a few years it could change but based on other reviews it's looks like it's been terrible for years.
