From the moment I got my first views of St. George's Golf and Country Club, it filled me with a…read morestate of heightened golf euphoria, A Golden Age golf gem that is a very sneaky difficult par 70 6400 yards. From the clubhouse, one can see across vast expanses of the golf course. Several hundred trees were removed during a restoration led by architect Gil Hanse, the same man designing the Rio Olympics course. The first three holes play on your golf emotions like a fine wine that needs a bit more time to breathe. You know that in a short period of time, this magnificent bottle will yield a complexity that may be the best you have ever experienced. The only way to know is to savor what you have in front of you, grinning a little inside knowing that something very special is about to be revealed. St. Georges may look short on the card, but don't be fooled. It's a par-70, which means it will play almost 400 yards longer than the distance stated. While none of the holes is unfairly long, the rough is thick and high, the greens speedy and true, and the terrain severely undulating. You not only have to keep the ball in play, you have to control distance as well as accuracy. With the greens well protected by mounds, deep bunkers and internal contour, the adventure doesn't end when you get greenside, but may in fact be only be beginning. Holes #1 through #4 tempted me to take shots I can pull off on flat courses but the risk here at St.Georges are so strategic! that you should easy back off the accelerator and attack the course at very few and far between points. Devereux Emmet made sure of this back in 1916 when he designed the course, with classic bunkering on both the fairways and greens. Rolling your approach shots can be your best route or your worst nightmare. At the driving range as I was warming up for the days round, I was approached by the golf pro Rod Heller and we struck up a conversation. We talked golf plane swings as we both fought a double cross hook for some stints of time. I peered over his shoulder to see my playing partners waiting for me, I had to excuse myself so we could begin the journey of our day out on the course. To be honest, I could have spent all day talking to Russ. What a sweetheart, complete gentleman and so available and willing to assist members with any needs, questions or comments they threw his way.

The 18-hole golf course at the Hamlet Wind Watch Golf & Country Club is quite beautiful…read more The course is kept up rather nicely with nice fairways and greens. The course is more on the narrow side with homes sometimes on both sides. With water holes, bunkers, and sand traps, it can be a little difficult. Carts are provided, and the prices are fair.

This is probably the weirdest place to play golf on Long Island. Its long standing claim to fame is…read morethat course conditions are pretty good. Currently that reputation holds on the fairways and greens. Rough is fine. Bunkers are generally not raked. More than a few tee boxes are unlevel and chewed up. The water hazards are either swampy or filled with what looks like straight Windex. The course is tight and in spots lined by condos. The driving range is grass which is nice, but no one is collecting baskets and keeping it tidy and the practice spaces are way too close together. In terms of the facility and the operation, it feels like a defunct country club. The aging clubhouse needs a lot of work. The ceiling in the men's locker room is leaking, the banquet hall looks abandoned & the halfway house is closed. There is a friendly beverage cart driver that we saw once during a 5 hour round. Yes a 5 hour round. The course is not rangered. The staff comes off as a bunch of characters. The "starter" has no name tag or logoed apparel on that would identify him as a course employee. They make sure the next group tees off the second the group ahead is out of range like a local muni. No effort to space out the groups. He also took it upon himself to watch tee shots and comment on everyone's result. Weird. Even the greens keeper drove around the entire fringe on one hole while we were putting and pulled away giving us the peace sign - crazy behavior both from a politeness factor for guests as well as a complete lack of respect for the course he's maintaining. They charge a luxury price - it is not a luxury experience. A mixed bag at best.

I'm of two minds on this course. On the one hand, the design is excellent. Gil Hanse is one of the…read moregreat designers working in the game, and it's a pleasure to get to play a public course designed by him. I also think the course is kept in reasonably good shape considering how much play it gets. That said I cannot recommend to is course because it is, frankly, horribly run. They put off groups every 9 minutes and the backups on some holes extend to 2, 3 or even 4 groups. The rangers do nothing to promote pace of play. I would easily pay 50% more to have groups go off every 12 or 15 minutes. It's abundantly clear that the staff has absolutely no regard for pace of play. I understand that they have to make money, but the course is so inexpensive that they could easily charge a premium to put out fewer groups. Additionally, on one Saturday I ended up waiting on the fifth hole for 45 minutes while a group of the club's members did a shootout on the green. They did not let us play through, and in fact cursed me out when I told them they were holding us up. It added well over an hour to what was already a five hour round when you count the delays on previous holes. Mind you this was on a Saturday at noon, which is a pretty high volume time to stage such a tournament. The staff was entirely unsympathetic to our complaints. Another time, the back nine was entirely clear and they were four groups on the fourth tee. My group decided to play the completely open back nine and we were sternly yelled at by the staff and thrown off the course. I would absolutely not recommend that anyone play here, which is a shame, because the course is actually lovely.

I…read morejust finished a 9!hole round and had to write this based on the negative comments posted here. Not sure what they are referring to but the course is in very good condition, Fairways are full and manicured and the greens are tight and fair. There was one green on the green course today that had some brown spots but other than that, they were very good. Players need to respect the course, rake their bunkers after use and fix their ball marks and it will help everyone. . The superintendent, Donna, is always keeping things moving and working hard with her team to maintain the grounds. I have personally seen people disrespect her for trying to do her job- so unfair. Her team obviously works hard to keep up and honestly, I think she does a fantastic job with what she has and should be commended. We all pay to play this public course, help take care by doing your part so we can all enjoy it. Thank you Donna and team - keep up the good work.

Indian Hills Country Club is private club located in what is called the historic Gold Coast of the…read moreNorth Shore of Western Suffolk County. Indian Hills Country Club was designed by Alfred Tull and opened originally in 1961. The course is 6,631 yards of golf from the back tees for a par of 72 and has a rating of 72.6 with a slope rating of 138 on Rye grass. The golf club is in the close vicinity of the Crab Meadow wetlands and the Long Island Sound. The golf course has several golf holes that have beautiful waterfront views. The senic golf course has an appealing and challenging layout with undulating elevation changes. The club house is quaint and very comfortable, but in a need of a face lift which I believe is in the works soon. I was invited as a guest and it was my first time out playing the game since my rib injury, so I was somewhat challenged by the track's natural beauty. This is one of the most picturesque golf courses that I have played on Long Island. I look forward to returning soon.

IThis place is worth the hype…read more Groupon got me here, but the experience will keep me coming back! Purchased a Groupon ($45 for one hour of simulation play and two drinks). Showed up on a Saturday (apparently manager reports that Groupon is not honored on weekends with no small print stating such rule, but he agreed he will allow it for today) The place has at least 6 main simulation screens and two VIP rooms with a simulation screen, table, tiny kitchenette and alot of space. When we walked in all 6 simulation screens were taken with all golf enthusiasts. At first, Eric, the gentleman at the front desk tells me that the next available screen would be in one hour. But maybe after the manager cleared it, we were able to use one of the two VIP rooms. The multi sports options were endless: baseball, soccer, football, basketball, dodgeball, carnival, rugby, hockey, etc were all available. Clean equipment and room, huge sized screens, touchscreen to navigate choices, and even a light dimmer! The hour passed by way too quickly, had an amazing time, great laughs and extremely engaging and interactive regardless of your sports skill set. Eric was extremely helpful and attentive. Will definitely return.

The venue also includes a bar area with a large rectangular seating arrangement, creating a social and comfortable atmosphere. The bartender and the golf staff were attentive and helpful, making the overall experience more enjoyable. Although it was my first time visiting, I realize I should have asked more questions to enhance my experience. I chose to play the PGA National course, which I had played in real life just last year. I was reminded of how challenging the water hazards can be. I ended up going into the water hazard three times on one hole! Overall, I found the atmosphere to be fun and relaxing, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a round of golf indoors.

The terf we hit off with anything short of driver was nothing short of impeccable Kentucky blue grass. Vibe was 10 out of 10 and great quality for the $80/hr price tag. Service was annoying. We arrived five minutes late to our tee time, but our bay was not ready when we got there. It was actually dirty and they had to clean it - flag on the play; delay of game. Besides that, we told the server that we didn't need anything. They proceeded to ask us 8 more times. It's like c'mon! They even called us boring. Wildly offended by that. Then, there was an additional 2 professional delay of games when our bay stopped working. When we finally left, they then tried to pull a fast one and add more time to our already expensive bill. Overall, highly recommend coming here! Loved this place much! However, my award is 4-stars, not 5. Scrap all the staff, except the pro and the tech guy.
