Pine Hollow Country Club



About this course
Pine Hollow, a fixture of Long Island golf since its inception, offers a classic parkland experience nestled amidst the rolling terrain of Wading River. The course, while not one that has hosted major championships, remains a beloved test for local golfers. Designed by William F. Mitchell, the original layout presents a traditional challenge with tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers. While the fairways are ample, Mitchell's routing requires thoughtful club selection and a steady hand; errant shots are often penalized by the thick rough that borders each hole. The course favors those who can work the ball, as many holes feature subtle doglegs and undulations that reward strategic play. Pine Hollow's appeal extends beyond the golf course. The club fosters a tight-knit community known for its competitive spirit and camaraderie. It's the kind of place where members share a love for the game and the traditions that surround it, culminating in friendly but fierce matches.

Getting there
Pine Hollow Country Club sits on Long Island's North Shore, most readily reached via LaGuardia Airport (LGA) or Newark Liberty International (EWR), each roughly forty-five minutes to an hour from the club depending on traffic across the Queens-Midtown Expressway or through the Lincoln Tunnel. For those arriving by private aircraft, Republic Airport (FRG) in Farmingdale offers a considerably more discreet alternative, positioning you just twenty minutes south of the grounds. The final leg traces the gentle rise from the flat Nassau plains into the rolling, tree-sheltered neighborhoods of East Norwich, where the club's entrance emerges from a canopy of mature oaks and maples - a verdant threshold that feels worlds removed from the metropolitan sprawl beyond.
