West Sayville Golf Course — Local services in Town of Islip

I played this track yesterday. 4 hours and 40 minutes wasn't really a good pace of play, and there were no rangers on the course at all.

It's a scenic course with Great South Bay/Fire Island view but was a bit challenging with more than a few holes with water in play, including the 16th combined with a stiff wind off the Atlantic.

Shot 101, but it was probably due to a combination of first-time jitters and consecutive mishits leading to a 9 on hole # 15 & 7 on # 17.

Still, I enjoyed figuring out hole # 16 and took a creative approach where I successfully used the adjacent fairway from the 15th hole on the right side to avoid the short 200 yard fairway blocked by the pond but wasted it on my second shot with a pulled 8 iron that was just 131 yards away with a clear line of sight.

Tee boxes, greens and bunkers were in good shape for the most part but more than a few fairways were not cut to specs specially #14 where my ball was buried a quarter inch in the grass in the middle of the fairway.

Bottomline, I will not be a repeat customer due to the...

I played this course yesterday, Aug 30, 2016. I was on a trip so had no expectations of grandeur or manicured fairways and smooth greens. This course's condition is abysmal! The fairways are overrun with crab grass types clusters of weeds, off the fairway is a mix of bare ground, exposed roots and stranger weeds. They charged $37 for non card holder out of state to play a 3 hour nine hole round with a shared cart. The greens were recently punched and in horrific shape. I suspect they were bad even prior to the required aeration in late summer. I suggest one look elsewhere unless in a pinch to swing the clubs and you are not going mind the poor muni conditions this...

Great course, I love the way it’s ran. First hole starts out as a long par 5 , OB on left, keep it right then keep it center if you can on second shot. 2nd hole is an easy par 3 but when you get to 3 that’s when it gets tricky. 18 is again a long straight par 5 with no real trouble to end the day, so if your leading your group after 17 you should win the day, Greens are always in good shape, good little restaurant, and they start the golfers seamlessly. Highly Recomended , also great Lil town to grab a drink n food after a good or not so good...
