Slow Slow Slow
I understand Bethpage Black walking taking 5 1/2 hours but teeing off at 1:45 on a Saturday shouldn't be as bad. 3 hours to do front nine. Ranger said its really backed up, you might want to do front again. There had to be an outing or just a group of 30 people all together. They were watching each other's shots and waiting for different groups to hit and watching from the next tee boxes. Horrible job to the starter and ranger. They just drove around but didn't enforce anything.
Picked the wrong day
There was an outing that went out way ahead of my tee time but they slowed the whole course down.Last time I played it was much faster.Round took almost 6 hours.There were 3 groups on almost every hole and at one point the ranger came out and asked us to speed up play.We all laughed and asked him if he actually saw what was going on that day.It was so slow we couldn't even get mad at him.I guess be careful when you book.I would still go back as the course is nice for the Golf Now deal and my last experience was much better
A day at landing
The greens had just been aerated so the putting was
a big challenge. In spite of that blemish, the rest of
the course was in excellent condition. From tee to
green, the fairways were beautiful. Definitely worth
playing when the greens are back to normal.
Not bad
Great layout, very easy to loose a shot in the fairway roughs, makes it very interesting. Greens are shot, and the starter and pro shop staff wasn't all that friendly. Very, very very slow pace, it was aggregating. Overall though I like the course for its layout.
Pretty course
Fairways in very good shape, putting greens were very good with the exception of 4 had too many ball marks not fixed.
Hot Dogs
The course was in great shape and I like the layout. I had 2 issues.
1) We had to wait on every hole despite a marshal present. To stand and wait it just takes the fun out
2) Made the turn at 3:00. No hot dogs and worker was going to close the stand because he had to get to his other job as a Fed Ex worker. This is on a Friday
Conditions
Course was in cery good shape
Nice course Great staff
Played this course in the past. It has great contour. Greens were a bit slow but to be expected with the lack of rainfall we have had on Long Island. Pace of play was excellent. I am a 12 handicap and the white tees were a good choice. The ladies don't get a big break on most holes.
Smithtown Landing Course needs a ranger.
The landing golf course was in very good shape and is challenging but not terribly long. No starter so people go when ready and as a result the course backs up on the second hole. We had to wait on every hole and we were a threesome playing behind a twosome. The ranger rides around in a cart and just waves from a distance as he does not want to hear any complaints of slow play. There is a shack after the third hole and as usual it was closed on a beautiful sunny day. Can't Lessing's find some young person interested in making some money for a few hours. The halfway house was open and the hot dogs are pretty good with an assortment of refreshments and snacks. I have played here many times and my only real complaint is the pace of play otherwise a very good golf venue.
Great for the money
One of the best LI courses yet one of the least expensive
Nice hilly course
The golf course is in good shape but the greens are very slow
Bring a rangefinder
The greens and fairways were excellent. Needs sand in the bunkers. The course could use more distance markers. I was playing with a twosome that didn't have a gps or rangefinder so I had to keep giving them their yardage. I didn't mind but it was time consuming. The pace of play was slow but I don't blame the course for that. A ranger spoke to the slow group ahead of me and they picked it up a bit. I will definitely play here again
Good for its 3 stars
3 stars is just about 4ight
Good Bones
The course has a nice layout. However, the pace of play was terrible. There was a marshall but he said nothing and he did nothing.
Great pace of play
Course layout and conditions were excellent.
We finished the course in less than 4 hours.
Smithtown Landing Review
Very nice course, challenging. Many uphill/downhill holes. Plays longer than the yardage indicates!
Great greens!
This course has a little bit of everything I think you will enjoy it!
