Harbor Links Golf Course

Came here during the summer and it was very beautiful. There were a lot of holes and I found them to be more challenging than other places. Would love to come back at night to see how nice it looks and bring some friends since we finished quickly.

I played here December 13^th the fairways were in good shape with exception of the greens looking like they airated within the last two weeks, I know this course in season is beautiful and well kept.
Only issue I have is charging $ 84 to play a winter round with airated greens and being ankle deep in geese droppings, also the tee boxes were pushed all the way up. $ 84 to basically play from the ladies Tees is outrageous. The rates need and should be adjusted when the course isn’t up to par.
That price is ridiculous for the product they’re putting out.

I am a resident of the area and have been coming to Harbor Links for at least 5 years now. It is nice that they have both an Executive (9 hole course with the longest hole being about 300 yards) and a Championship (standard 18 hole course). The Executive course has a little putting green as well as a miniature golf course along the side of it. If you get over to the Championship course, they have your standard driving range and putting green as well. The courses are both links-​style (couldn’t guess with the name, huh?) with fescue that lines the fairways. Make sure you hit’em straight here or else you will be swinging with your eyes closed and hoping your ball pops out of the tall-​grass in peak season.
Overall, the prices are a bit higher than what you would expect to pay for golf on Long Island ($ 120 for non-​resident), but you can always count on the tee boxes and greens to be maintained very well. If you are flexible with timing, wait until twilight and super twilight to pay a nice discount on your rounds.
Fore!

As a senior town resident we have very good deal, unfortunately they have outing almost every week from Monday thru Thursday during the season, the sad part is when they have outing they close the course whole day for players that are not in the outing, residents don’t really get to play there, hope something could be done.

Decent golf course, okay mini golf for the young, however, the Grill Room was such a failure I cannot even remember the last time I encountered such pretentious and terrible service (they only greet their regulars), small portions (five 1″ x 1 ½ «slices of seared tuna… really?) and mediocre tasting food (we had to get our own ketchup from the service station).
We had a good laugh at the place and our misfortune but clearly never going back again.

It has been a few weeks since our son and new daughter in law exchanged their vows at the Harbor Links. My wife and I continue to receive calls from our guests all saying what a wonderful time they had, the ceremony was beautiful, the food was plentiful and delicious. It also helped that it was a gorgeous day this Memorial Day weekend.
First let me say the ceremony was absolutely lovely and better than any church service I have seen Watching the bride walk down the winding path with all the guests to witness was a site to be seen. The Gazebo with all the flowers and the golf course as a backdrop made a romantic, picturesque setting. The photographer had plenty of spots to choose from to get the perfect pictures.
Once the cocktail party began the food and drinks were abundant. We received numerous compliments on the calamari, steak, chicken and how much their was. The bartenders were efficient and courteous and seemed to remember everyone’s drink their second time up. Our guests would mingle under the tent as they ate or walk outside to eat in the sun at one of your high top tables. As we moved to the ceremony the feast continued and service was outstanding, and the meal was just exceptional. The banquet room is spacious and bright, with breathtaking views of the golf course.
Throughout it all our maitre de, Domenick did a fantastic job of guiding everyone and keeping things on track. When we met with Domenick a few days earlier we knew he would be phenominal as he walked us through a detailed check list and took diligent notes. He did not disappoint and even exceeded expectations. We were also fortunate to have Mary as our bridal attendant. She was unbelievable, she was always in the right spot at the right time to lend a helping hand. Leading up to the event we worked with Jeanine Phelan to plan for the day. She was always available and professional and delivered on what she said. Everyone at Harbor Links worked to make all their guests feel special. We cannot say enough accolades about these people and all the staff. They made the day a remarkable one.
Harbor Links gets a five star rating!

Been coming here every weekend for 2015 and I really like this course. Very well maintained with super fast greens. The course if very vertical with some nice tee boxes on a few holes that have amazing views. Very challenging course that is not for the novice golfer. The play can run a little quicker but this is mostly due to golfers looking for their golf balls in the rough/​high grass/​out of bounds areas. This will be my go to spot going forward as tee times can be made very early on Sundays.

Used to play here much more but thanks to the Town of North Hempstead, they’ve raised green fees once again. $ 95 for residents/​$ 120 for non-​residents and a 5 – 6 hour weekend round because the rangers are more concerned with not parking 100% on the pavement (to let their cart go by) instead of pushing groups to a faster pace. Shameful.
2 stars only because the fairways and greens are in good shape but I’ll stick to the new Ferry Point course for the price point and the fact that I’m done in 4 hours.

Beautiful course, very fun layout for the 6,927 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 73.2 and it has a slope rating of 128. Designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan, a golf course architect I’m not very familiar with but should learn more about as the course has great flow, combinations of twists and doglegs that seem to thwart my draw.
I’ve learned to hit long irons off the tees as I’ve really struggled knocking my second shot on par 4’s on or close to the green because of the high grass a few feet off the fairway. So, keep the ball out of the fescue.
Most of the holes have elevated tee boxes, with some with split fairways. You can take the longer safer route or go for it on the shorter side.
Each time I’ve played at Harbor Links I’ve had to cart it, so I’m pretty sure its mandatory, unfortunately.

For a non-​resident of the greater course area 9 holes on the executive course was 27 bucks, which I think is a little expensive for that many holes on a public golf course.
The distances were as expected for a links course. The fairways and greens were well-​maintained with not too many opportunities to lose balls. Left me wanting to play even more-​in a good way.

Great golf course, reminds me of the Bethpage Red in terms of difficulty, elevation changes, and manicuring. Pretty open fairways with not a lot of trees (links), however if off the fairway the first cut can be difficult to hit out of. The greens are in great shape, not too difficult. There is a good mix of difficult and not so difficult holes. Carts are well-​equipped with GPS and many other functions.
The problem? Pace of play. Took 5hrs yesterday, although in fairness they were running a tee-​time special so the place was packed. There are certainly some hackers (not that I’m much better). Lastly, not that I care much, but the chicken salad sandwich was horrible.

Golf Course Review
Slowwwww. Four of us played last Friday and you know what, I think we’re still waiting to tee off on 18.
But really, 5 hours at a course like that is ridiculous.
The course was in pretty good shape, and each hole was unique with a different challenge. If you can get the resident rate it’s definitely worth a play, if you can’t, just go play the Black Course.

The 18 hole golf course is 5 stars for conditions and pace of play. Minus one simply for the prohibitive cost of playing there. That being said it is beautiful, challenging, and very well maintained.
Also at the same facility (down the road) is an equally beautiful 9 hole executive that is kept in immaculate shape.
Mini golf is a fun family activity there as well.
I’ve found the staff on the courses to be very pleasant.
The 19 hole has a great menu and decent tap beer selection, nice place after a round or just to pop in on a summer day to sit on the deck.

You will find a better caliber of golfers at Harbor Links than most courses open to the public in and around NYC. Players dress the part and there’s little drinking goin on here. These people are serious. Some may spend too long scouting for errant balls, which contributed to a 5 hr. round Sun., but it’s still a four star course based on the beauty of this links style course, friendly atmosphere and nice club house. The greens aren’t fast but some are quite the challenge.

Great mini golf course on the grounds of real golf courses. Well maintained. Shady areas. A good place to go for a day of fun.

Came here for the driving range and got a medium bucket of balls $ 10 for 75. Compared to spring rock golf center where you can get 150… I guess you can say the ambiance is nicer here?
The only thing I was a bit disappointed in was that I asked if they had a driver I could borrow because I am new to golfing and they did not.
However I came here a few years ago and I think they did lend me one. Overall nice experience and I’d come back.

Came here for a wedding! The clubhouse is beautiful! The windows are huge so it’s very bright during the daytime and you can see the golf course! I liked that the venue is more wide than long. You can actually see the bride and groom easier this way.
The food was amazing! Lox during cocktail hour! The sea bass was super moist and delicious! Reminds me of a butterfish I had in Hawaii! The filet mignon was overcooked and definitely needs sauce. Stick with the fish if both are an option.
Chocolate fondue fountain is amazing! Bananas foster and ice cream even more amazinnnggggg!
This place has a lot to offer. Breathtaking views, quality food and exceptional service.

Solid course especially considering it’s sitting on a landfill. Don’t waste your time on the executive course. Legit golf carts with gps. I play the course weekly in the summer and constantly recommend others to try the course. I’m a 3 handicap. Hope this helps

Beautiful golf course. Beautiful clubhouse.
Greens were just ok… they were a little bumpy so they didn’t roll pure. The guy in the pro shop either doesn’t know what nice greens are or just telling callers the greens are in awesome shape just to get people in.
6hr 20 min round… on a weekday. Considering how much they charge for a round of golf you would think they would work on…
A. Keeping the greens pristine
B. Enforcing pace of pay

I had my wedding here in August of 2012 and I must say it was beyond incredible. The venue was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined when booking and visiting for other wedding related business.
Let me start by commending the staff.
First and foremost Jeanine Phelan (the banquet manager) from the day we first visited Harbor Links Jeanine made us feel beyond special. When meeting my now wife and I for the first time she presented us with an engagement gift. We were so impressed and blown away with what Harbor Links had to offer and how Jeanine presented it that we booked that day. In the 11 ensuing months we kept in contact with Jeanine and she was always a joy to work with. Jeanine has a wonderful and bubbly personality it is infectious and makes each and ever interaction a pleasure. I do not want to ramble on (but I sure could) to put it simply Jeanine is amazing.
Now for the maître’d Dominick. My own wedding was the 10^th I have participated in since October of 2009 and in that time now maître’d beats Dominick. He was on top of everything. He knew everyone’s name from our wedding party and who they were in our lives. He thought of everything. Within an hour or two he knew what certain expressions meant on my or my wife’s face and came to address it. He made our night beyond perfect. I can’t explain how fantastic Dominick was.
Jillian was our bridal attendant. When we were first introduced she mentioned that this was only her second time acting as a bridal attendant and if I did not know that from her I would have guessed she was a seasoned pro. She knew what to do, where to go, predicted what we would want and when we would want it. She was fast and helpful addressing our needs.
Now for the food. We were provided snacks in our bridal suites (yes suites) the men and women were each provided separate rooms and they were perfectly set up. Each room had chilled beverages and hot food waiting for us when we arrived.
The food was outstanding. We did not attend our cocktail hour, but we were brought food and it was great. Our guest have raved about the food to us during the event and ever since. Then when it was time for dinner as the groom I indulged in a sampler of all three choices and they were great! The salmon with champagne dill sauce, filet Mignon with tobacco onions and chicken picata.
