Regulation Eighteen at Smithtown Landing Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Smithtown Landing Golf Club offers both an 18-hole regulation course and a nine-hole executive course. The courses are open to the public on weekdays and to Smithtown residents on the weekends. The Regulation Course has a surprisingly tough layout with subtle but tricky contours throughout that cause some challenging lies. Mature trees line the fairways, making accuracy a necessity and there are also several strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides. At 6,114 yards from the back tees, it's a golf course that requires strategy over length, beginning with the first hole. This dogleg right par 4 will force you to carefully think about the placement off the tee. In addition to the two golf courses, Smithtown Landing also has two practice greens with surrounding short game areas and a driving range.

Wanna play private course green?
Not sure why or how, but the greens were running at a 15. Never played a course public or private with greens this fast. If you aren’t used to it, it definitely takes getting used to and ball placement adds another level of play. 40 putts with 4 one puts, above the hole and miss? See ya!
Summer Day in Fall
The course was in fabulous conditions. Greens were firm and fast. Fairways in good with not much debris as in leaves being it's Fall. Was an exceptionally warm so many golfers on the course causing a slow pace of play.
Half way house was open for business, but didn't understand why the beverage cart was not in service. Was partnered with a very nice gentlemen and another twosome to round out the group. The twosome only played the front nine which made the back nine and even longer wait.
In all it's a fun course to play just wish it played slightly faster.
Enough loud music!
Great course. Wonderful staff. I play this course regularly and there is frequently music blasting from people's carts. I realize music on the course is a somewhat new phenomenon but it shouldn't be heard beyond one's golf cart. It's worse here than any other course I play. Management should ask "if you need to play music, respect your fellow golfers and keep it low"
Ranger dander
I waited every hole due to slow play in front of me. I was followed by the Ranger for 16 holes because the course was moving slow and someone complained.
Even after calling the front office at 9 holes ,to ask what the issue was and why this Ranger thought he had to follow me, he continued to stay with us for another 7 holes. Maybe he should have gone forward to see where the problem really was .
I found this very irritating, it ruined my game and my day.
I have not played there since. I would rather play where it is a more pleasant atmosphere.
Great day
Course and Greens in great shape, aerated fairways had all plugs cleared by the afternoon.
Been going to this relatively easy course for years. Enjoy playing. But when in the world aregolf courses going to stop charging full price when they aerate the greens and don’t tell you. they basically have you hostage as you are already there or have prepaid and we’re out of options, it is stealing.

Fun time at Smithtown landing!
Course was in very good shape even though the the greens were recently aerated.
Great staff.. friendly and courteous.!!!
Would have been nice if there were water coolers on the course.
Great course if you have the time
Very nice course for a municipality. Course is in great shape but the pace of play is too slow. Five hours for 18 holes is too long especially for the middle of the week.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback regarding the pace of play and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Your comments will help us improve the overall golfing experience at our course.
Slow day
Slow greens and slower play. Maybe it’s because they have tee times every 8 minutes? Hmmm
Thank you for sharing your feedback about our business. We apologize if the pace of play was slower than expected and if the greens were not up to your satisfaction. We appreciate your review and will take your comments into consideration to improve our services.
Challenging course
I always enjoy playing here even if I am in over my head. Greens and fairways in excellent condition. No water hazards but lots of hills and turns
We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with slow play and the ranger following you. We appreciate your feedback and will address these issues to ensure a better experience for all our customers. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
