Rating 69.3

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.

Great layout and challenging

Loved just about everything with the course. Elevation change, dogleg left and right...... only issue is the greens are not in great shape. Plenty divots that are NOT repaired makes for terrible greens.

Great course, but wiped out

Normally a great course to play with an excellent layout, but it seems to have suffered from recent wet weather conditions. The main problem was the greens- quite worn, uneven, very bumpy, and in some cases damaged. The fairways and rough were also washed a bit, so that the ball would settle down in, rather than sit up in a normal position. I think if we have some sunny days over the next week or two and the greenskeepers give some careful attention, things will be back to normal.

Excellent Condition/Challenging Course

The course was in excellent condition. Several holes have blind tee shots making the round a little more difficult, but makes a good challenge for any golfer. Greens were great. Good round. Pace was fine, as well.

Social Golf

I like to go out at a single most of the time so that I can relax and work on my fundamentals. I was paired up with 3 others who had made last minute reservations using GolfNow and I have to say they were all a pleasure to golf with. We all had played here before and even with the slow pace, there wasn't a complaint among us. Just pure fun. Golf-On!

Nice course - pace of play awful

Very slow. Clear slow group a few holes ahead of us and ranger did nothing. They put a single out in between 2 foursomes with a threesome behind us. If they can clean this up, the course would be great to play.

Poor management of play

Two foursomes in front of us did not know how to play golf and weren't even in proper golf attire. They were wearing tee shirts and sneakers. These all-male groups hit the ball 6-7 times to advance 100 yards! Two foursomes and a twosome were waiting on every hole. By the 9th hole the twosome left. We spoke to the ranger at least 5 times, but he did nothing. A six hour round is utterly ridiculous. Will never return here.

Smithtown Landing Country Club

I always liked Smithtown Landing because it is the closest course to me on the East end and it is easy to get tee times. The course is fairly challenging and fun to play with a lot of different terrains. There are hills and valleys and undulating greens and some challenging par 3's. It is usually in pretty good shape and it is modestly priced for a course of this caliber. I would recommend Smithtown Landing to anyone. My friends and I usually play Smithtown Landing at least twice per month.
