Playing there Friday. My buddy is a member. Any thoughts on the course and its current conditions?

Been a member for 15 years. Fairways and green surrounds worst shape I've ever seen them in those 15 years. Sorry…. Tee boxes and greens are fantastic as always though. Course was supposed to have been stripped and regrassed last year but that has now been pushed back with no timeline given….

I was going to say hello friend …… but that sounds rough. Loved seeing the course when Sergio played Shiels.

I mean it's not bad, it's just not what it was or should be. Fairways are a little thin in areas and the green surrounds are really grainy and very difficult to chip out of well. They had to replace a bunch of grass around the greens in an effort to remove rogue Bermuda strains that has crept in and those new sod areas just never got fully established before the end of the growing season. I'm sure it will be back better this spring after they give it the ol chemical bath in March.

That and you need to play most of the bunkers with a square face as the sand has compacted in most of them. Playing a normal bunker shot in many of them with a wide open wedge will lead to a nice 150 yard shot. lol.


I'm sure it will be back but it's def in a spot of bother (but agin it's still pretty damn good, just not up to normal standards)

I was out there when Sergio was with Rick and Bryson filming those videos . In Ricks slight defense the wind was definitely up but he made it look like us open bethpage out there for sure….
