The Vineyards Golf Club

Former private club that luckily for the general public became semi-private. The course was in great shape considering it was only April, and it should be top-notch once the summer season is here. The wind was howling and swirling, making yesterday's round a true challenge that was fun for the avid golfer (which I pretend to be).

Great course ,Very much target golf. Many bunkers in all areas of play. Fun to play this track!

Everytime I play this course it is a lot of fun. Bit of a ride but worth it. Last year got caught in the middle of an outing which slowed pace but that was the first time something like that ever happened. Hope to be playing it soon.

For a short course (around 6000 yds) a real challenge. The speed of the greens and the wind make this really interesting. Good mix of holes with more elevation than expected. Wind always a factor. Nice amenities, cordial staff. You need to play if in the area!

Wonderful layout, very friendly and professional staff.

Great layout. Best if played from the tips. Most challenging that way. Playing up removes many of the hazards. Good lunch and friendly staff.

My wife and I moved into a house at Olde VIne, just off the 11th green in October, 2016. This area is in the heart of Suffolk "Golf Country," I'd have to say and The Vineyards is a great part of that.

It's not the longest of course, but is so well-trapped and the rolling terrain on spots makes this course a very real challenge.

The course is a bit pricey for me and a membership is a bit much for me at this time, but thanks to a site like GolfNow.com I played once before the weather turned and plan to play that way next year.

I am by no means a good player now. But I hope to be after next year. Playing the different courses out here--hopefully, more and more on my "home course," The VIneyards would be nice--I hope to improve markedly.

Great greens, great condition for a fairly short course. Wind & greens add to difficulty. Would definitely play again.

Better condition than Cherry & Woods by a lot. A little pricey, but understanding. I think if they lowered the price by $10-15 they would get 2X more play, which they might not want.

The course itself was pleasantly surprising. Nice condition tee to green especially for the time of year I played (late fall). On the shorter side, you don't need to hit driver on many of the Par 4s as it will not really reward you unless you like touchy 35-85 yarders. I found the greens very difficult, which I highly value in a golf course - not unfair or gimmicky, but sneaky quick and subtle. The Par 5 11th is a very difficult hole if the wind is blowing. Also the Par 3 on the front over the water is another cool one.

Overall, I'll stick with a 4 out of 5 stars and I'll play again, probably on a Saturday after I get paid.

Staff is great they could not do enough to make our group feel like members of this private club. Overall best experience of a Long Island club in the past year.

The drive out is well worth it. The course layout is spectacular, as evidenced by my recall of almost every hole. The course is not overly long, which is perfect for me as I don't hit long any more. I always avail myself of the special offers, having that country club feel.

Challenging course - gotta' make your shots. Beautiful fairways - very few on LI as nice. Great layout and design. Fun course - always brings you back for more.

Professional staff - attentive and polite, never a 'tude.

They want you to have a good time - easy to do. Quick round - never feel beat up. Seriously, nothing like it on eastern L.I.

Upon arrival was greated by a friendly staff employee. I was a single player and was grouped with 3 other players. There is a small range and a putting green near the first hole. The course was under aeration.

I am looking forward to playing there in the spring!

I am an avid golfer and usually play 3-4 rounds per week. I can honestly say that this is a public course that looks feels and plays like a private course.

The staff is exceptional and couldn't be any more helpful or courteous. The course had been aerated several weeks ago but the greens still rolled on the quicker side. Fairways and bunkers were excellent!

Highly recommend.

Terrific overall experience. Friendly staff, excellent course layout. Not overly long but a thinking golfers course. Overall conditioning was first rate. Greens had recently been aerated but this was made clear at the time of booking and the fee reflected this so no complaints. I will definitely play again next time I am on long island.

Great course and can't give it a 5 star due to the greens aerated.

Wide open course. great layout, only good things to say about it overall. Not too painfully challenging (all of the par 4s are tricky, but not unreachable). Staff was great and got things moving quickly with good instructions on how to proceed.

Staff couldn't be friendlier. Course is in great condition and can be very challenging. You will not want to play a public course again after playing here.
