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.

Fine course…overpriced for the condition
While it is always fun to experience a new course for the first time this will also most likely be my last round at Smithtown Landing. To start I would like to say everyone from my fellow round mates to the clubhouse staff were beyond friendly and overall had a fun day on the course.
The round itself started slightly late and was slow for the first 9 until things opened up on the back. Round time was about 5 hours. The tee boxes were all over the place often pointed diagonally at the hole with significant pitch. Good shots and bad shots alike would end up on the “first cut” which was more like deep sloped rough. The greens played impossibly fast and everything slid right off. Green fringe was a mix of weeds and dirt.
The overall condition of the course left much to be desired and while the seemingly short par 4s seemed like great scoring opportunities the conditions dictated otherwise.
Overall very nice people but for a $80 round I was expecting a better track.
Pace of play
Not sure if it was hacker holiday, but there was
A group in front of us that did not belong on this course.
After 5 hours we decided not to finish the rounds. 2 holes left, if we stayed it probably would have been a 6 hour round.
The ranger was around but didn't seem to help.
The course itself was in great shape and fun to play. Maybe one more try, definitely "not" on the weekend!!!!
Hi! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Regulation Eighteen at Smithtown Landing Golf Club!
Solid public course
Great staff and course kept nice. Greens very fast which I like but my putter did not:).
Off fairways was a little sparse and hard but forgiving.
Will play again
Smithtown Landing
Smithtown Landing is a very nice course with some challenging holes and greens. Some of the pin placements on holes provide even more of a challenge. The course was in good condition and the greens can be tricky, but run at a good speed. My only complaint is that I feel the greens are very firm and it's very easy for well struck irons to land on the green and run off. I also felt that some of the rough was overgrown and too many grass patches on the fringe of the greens. Smithtown Landing offers a lot of value for your money and it's one of the nicest muni courses on Long Island. I recommend it to anyone!
its a nice course but the pace of play is aweful. they need a ranger out there to make the pace faster. I was waiting for 15-20 mins on the tee box
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Regulation Eighteen at Smithtown Landing Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
The Good, ...The Less Good, ...and Not Good
Observations:
GOOD
-Greens were Fantastic!! - firm and fast
-Rough was not too long, but thick and playable
-Fairways in nice shape
-Course "shot sight-lines" were cut nicely
-Challenging 2nd shot/approach shot little course - rolling, undulating fairways and small greens
-New tee box on #2, and view on back of #11 is great
-Town looks like it has put a lot of money and time into upgrading facilities since last here (bar was not open yet, hence, low mark until :):)
-Allowed to have a personal cooler if it fits in the cart basket
LESS GOOD
-Some spotty areas on a few of the tee boxes and green perimeters
-Pace of play in the afternoon - saw a "six"some" playing on a busy course
-People playing in tee shirts (Disclosure: somewhat a golf traditionalist, biased)
-Driving range - old mats on concrete, can't hit woods
-Golf cart traffic jam near pro-shop, and can't get a key until you are about to tee off, can't take a cart to the driving range or practice green, can't take a cart to drop off / pick up your clubs (maybe have a staff member(s) circle the parking lot with a cart to help elderly like Spring Lake?)
NOT GOOD
$2 - for a tiny tiny tiny potato chip bag
$7 - for a can of non-craft beer
$5 - for a "dirty" soaking hot dog, not grilled
* Couldn't find the "snack cart" person on course
Overall, love the course...will be back! It has been 2 years. Keep up the good work, enjoyed the day with friends. Thanks!
Challenging course
Lots of doglegs, and blind shots. Excellent condition , greens were super fast and hole placement tough
Best public course on LI
Challenging and beautiful all at once. Putting greens are a little fast but otherwise the best public course I've played on Long Island.
It's a good course but it's a bit shabby right now. This course was usually in great condition. There's hills that create difficult lies/shots.
A fun round of golf
Try to get here as many times as possible during the golf season. Also, they are making vast improvements throughout the course.

Smithtown Landing Golf Course
Smithtown Landing is a very nice course offering some challenging holes. The greens were aerated when I played, but it was still fun playing. The greens will be on good condition when they are done, as they usually are. I like the course and recommend it to everyone. The staff is always friendly and accomodating.
