    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.

    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!

    Dined here with my boyfriend and his family not too long ago as they have a membership here. We…read moremade reservations for 7pm and arrived with a group of 8. 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.

    I have called 6x's to get information on new course price reductions and not once did anyone pick…read moreup a phone. Service would be considered terrible but that would be a step up from current situation! There is not enough words for me to add to what is already a poor situation that apparently continues to get worse.
