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.

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.

Can't beat it for the convenience and the price.

Lots of things to do so I joined last month and my wife and I love it. I feel it's a place to belong. I wish I could give more stars!

This past week end 10/15/17 we had a first birthday bash for our first grandchild. This wasn't a big party but it was perfect. More food than we expected, absolutely fantastic service led by their food and beverage manager "Kenny" more importantly our guests thought it was just PERFECT as well as the phone keeps ringing telling us how happy they were. So We raised this review to five stars as the Club deserved everyone of them. So glad this venue is in the five towns. Low key and easy to enjoy!

Two little rides, a bounce house and a DJ do not a carnival make! If that was the only issue, I would not have even bothered with this review. Sadly, that was just the least of the problems. First we sat down for a poolside lunch. When seated, we were handed 2 menus for 5 people. We ordered our food and drinks, water for everyone and two unsweetened iced teas. The water never arrived and the teas were both flavored with something. Oh, and the French fries that came with the meal were cold. It's possible they were hot at one point, but since it took 20 minutes for a salad, a wrap, and 2 sandwiches, they obviously had plenty of time to cool off. Moving on, we come to the bbq dinner. They offered a decent amount of options, but when the members of a "Country Club" that pay nearly $25000 dollars a year, and their guests, are offered steak that looks like the picture I posted, that is beyond unacceptable. From what I understand, the members are not involved in the restaurant, as a management company deals with their food service now. For $25000 a year, I certainly wouldn't give up my ability to have a say in how that money is spent. From what I have read, the club was bought and the board dissolved 5 years ago, and the new owner's bought the place with "families in mind". I hope they read this review and reevaluate their business model. They say they want younger families that have children to come. If your idea of "kids entertainment" is enough rides to occupy about 30 kids at a time, you might want to reconsider that. Bottom line, as a restaurant owner myself, as well as someone who grew up going to and working at south shore country clubs, this is not the way to do it. It's literally like what Jackie Mason did in/with Caddyshack 2, destroyed a perfectly good original. *Update: I went back and read the other reviews of this place, and it seems like the only good reviews were from people who attended "events" at the club such as golf outings or company dinner parties. That would lead me to believe that the owners are more concerned with taking care of people who come once than the members who are there regularly. Why anyone would pay good money to be a member of a club that doesn't care about their members is beyond me.

They had about 6 picnic tables so there was plenty of seating for everyone and one table for serving the food. The birthday boy was so happy with everything! Also, I'd recommend bringing bug spray since the flies are attracted to Mott's Creek by the mini golf.

It seemed like all of them really enjoyed working there and delivering top notch service. The location is also great because at night if you step outside you can see the Manhattan skyline. This was one of the best wedding receptions I have ever attended. Thank you Inwood Country Club!!

Inwood Country Club was such an…read moreelegant venue, management was very patient & accommodating, every detail was well thought-out & executed, and the service was outstanding! We truly had the best evening of our lives, & many of our guests told us that this was the one of if not the best wedding they had ever attended. We had been searching throughout Long Island, particularly Nassau county, for a reception location that struck the right balance between the classiness of the venue, the quality of the food, the reasonableness of the price, event privacy, and the flexibility to customize any details we felt we needed to. Inwood was honestly the perfect balance of these for us, & I cannot recommend it highly enough for those planning a similar event in the Nassau, Suffolk, Brooklyn. & Queens areas of NY. Details by category follow below. We also used & strongly recommend Genesis Events (DJ/MC), Stefans Florist, Silverfox Photography, Camelot Limos, & Front Street Bakery. Coordination with Management & Event Planning: We coordinated with the assistant manager Josephine regularly throughout the process of planning our wedding. She clearly detailed how they intended to set up the venue for us, provided options for customizing per our preferences, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and helped address & accommodate any of our concerns & requests. She ensured that our guests would be welcomed with light refreshments directly following our wedding ceremony (prior to the cocktail hour), which was a huge relief as many out-of-towners did not have anyplace else to go in the 2+ hour gap! Josephine was very courteous & accommodating from start to finish, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Further, within two weeks of outlining the main details & menu options for our event, we received a precise & reasonable cost estimate from the venue manager Benny, which helped us to make our final determination on the venue with little delay. Menu Planning & Food Quality: We were also able to craft a first-class cocktail hour, dinner menu, & dessert buffet with the club chef, Anthony - a well-seasoned chef with decades of fine dining culinary experience. Having served as the Head Chef at Inwood for several years, Anthony's experience & passion really showed! He has excellent ideas which turned out amazingly; our guests raved about the food throughout the night & for weeks to come. Our cocktail hour was simply breathtaking; our guests were floored by the display & options available, really setting the stage for the wonderful evening to come. This included antipasto, pasta, sushi/stir-fry, carving, & seafood (including full lobster tails & huge jumbo shrimp) stations, along with passing hors d'oeuvres. When selecting these stations during wedding planning, each had a range of options for us to choose from to customize for our guests. Anthony was also able to accommodate dietary restrictions with a vegan wild mushroom risotto entree, which was delicious! He also prepared a demi-glaced & garnished filet mignon, panko-crusted halibut, & chicken saltimbocca, each seasoned and prepared with an assortment of paired sides. The only complaint I heard about the dinner that evening is that people were too full from the cocktail hour to finish their meal! The wedding cake & venetian hour desserts were provided through Inwood CC by Front Street Bakery in Rockville Center. The spread included an assortment of delicious pastries, cookies, cordials, espresso, gelato, sorbets, fruits & berries. An open bar was also provided at the start of the cocktail hour & through the course of the evening, including a quality selection of beers, wines, & cocktails. Venue/Facility: The main country club building served as the venue for our wedding reception, including a vast lobby, bar area, & beautiful dining area. The dining area is surrounded by windows looking out to the golf course and a clear view of the New York City skyline, with an ample dance floor located in the center of the room. The grounds are meticulously maintained & served as an ideal backdrop for our wedding photos. Service: The service staff was excellent, with the logistics of each stage of the evening having clearly been well planned & coordinated. My wife & I were provided with a private room to enjoy our cocktail hour, with a bridal attendant personally looking after us for the whole evening. Our guests received their orders promptly & with little delay within or between tables. The transition between each stage of the evening was elegantly prepared & handled with clear attention to detail as well. Each space was meticulously prepared for the cocktail hour, first dance, dinner, wedding cake, and venetian portions of the evening, with ample & professional staffing throughout. Bottom line: Inwood CC is a fantastic location for anyone looking to host a wedding or other event with great food, service, & style!
