The Golf Club is located near Riverhead in Baiting Hollow on the bluffs of Long Island. I was quite impressed with the club house along with the surrounding grounds. The bar was wood accented and set well inside the club members dining area. As far as the golf course, I found the fairways friendly which in most cases allow one to recover from a bad drive. Also the greens were in fabulous shape and quire fast. Overall I very much enjoyed my first visit and golf round at this Golf Club. I am truly am looking forward to my next visit.

This review is actually for the accommodations and the food, not the golf course…read more Wow. Just... wow. The rooms in the "cottages" are truly fantastic- the showers, views, furniture, all top notch. Our cottage included a beautiful billiards table underneath a wall-mounted flat screen HD tv. As for the food in the club house- I'll put it this way. When asked how my meal was, I responded "I have no words... only feelings." Tasty, substantial tuna tartar. Divinely prepared braised short rib, sirloin, seasoned fries, arugula with balsamic reduction. Small but solid craft beer selection- local. Try the Crooked Ladder's brown ale. Attentive but not hovering service from friendly staff. Upon finishing my food I realized that the large majority of patrons to come through the establishment don't think what they experience is special. Trust me, it is.

You have to strategically place your ball on this one due to different undulations and bunkers galore. Not the easiest track I've played.

Fun little 9 hole golf course. Great for practice or if you don't have time for a full course…read more Longest hole is 170 yards shortest is 90 yards so someday I may get a hole in one. New owners cleaned up the course and added classes for kids. I miss the alligator in the pond from the old course and the original owner was a character. I also miss the $8 fee. It's now $19. So far everyone I met there is friendly. If you are just learning how to play golf this is a great place to practice. Most of the players are beginners, they won't judge you. They also have a simulated course indoors but I haven't tried that out, maybe on a rainy day. On a Monday we were able to walk right on but they did have kids classes on the 8th and 9th hole so we couldn't play those holes but were allowed to repeat 1 and 2 if we wanted. They do recommend calling in advance for reservations and the kids classes end at noon.

Holes feel a club or two shorter than the yardage indicated. Only the long 175 yd #6 hole seems to be true from the back of the tee box. Course can get a little soggy in the spring. Greens are usually in good condition. Tee boxes are usually beaten up, but they do have mats to hit off on some of the holes.

This otherwise expensive publicly accessible private course in Riverhead has been getting strong…read morepub in this space from golfers taking advantage of Groupons, but won't from me. But first, a history lesson.... Eastern LI farmland was cleared in the late 90's to build a new development highlighted by a new Robert Trent Jones, Jr. course in Riverhead. Despite the buzz, not all houses were built (even in the Real Estate boom) and the course, though well reviewed, never achieved the popularity of the leading courses on LI. Shortly afterward and perhaps inspired by the success of this venture, another development was built featuring two courses at Cherry Creek, about a mile away. Though neither Cherry Creek course featured a big name course designer, each became popular with locals for friendly staff, quality conditions and fair greens fees. So within a small area in a middle-class area, there was a rapid build-up of public/private courses, one of which was twice as expensive as the other two . The result was too predictable - this is Long Island, home to a US Open course that you can play for $75. LI National began resorting to flash sites like Groupon to draw players and eventually went bankrupt under the crushing debt most likely incurred to pay RTJ for his less than legendary design. According to media reports, LI National was sold out of bankruptcy to a new owner who plans to take the course completely private at the end of the season. I wish him luck in an otherwise middle-class area. Meanwhile, those who've purchased Groupons have to seek refunds as they are no longer honored. The web-site has been taken down and they're down to a single phone line, which sometimes gets answered. Die-hards, it's your last chance. For me, I'm OK with better links golf at neighboring Tallgrass and better value quality courses at Cherry Creek for a while.

Some very challenging fairways, killer rough (fescue), but a lot of rewarding holes too. What went above and beyond for me however was the service. The snack cart girl was upbeat, the attendants at the golf cart station were awesome, we had a great conversation with the bartender at the 19th hole, but most of all the front office has been amazing helping to return my phone which I lost somewhere on the course (I live in Brooklyn and don't have a car, very difficult to get back out there). 5/5 Would recommend strongly.
