Pines/Valley (Alternate) at Colonial Springs Golf Club

Colonial Springs Golf Club sits in East Farmingdale on Long Island, where suburban development meets the region's characteristic flat to gently rolling terrain. Arthur Hills designed the facility in the late twentieth century during a period when Long Island saw significant golf course construction to serve the area's growing population. The club operates as a public facility, making it accessible to a broad range of golfers in the Nassau County area.

Hills, known for his work across the northeastern United States, typically emphasized playability for varied skill levels while incorporating strategic bunkering and water features where the landscape allowed. At Colonial Springs, the Pines and Valley nines can be combined in an alternate eighteen-hole routing, offering variety for regular players. The names suggest some differentiation in character—likely tree-lined corridors on the Pines nine and more open, lower-lying terrain on the Valley—though the overall property shares the modest elevation changes common to this part of Long Island.

The course serves both daily-fee players and members in a region where golf remains popular despite space constraints. East Farmingdale's proximity to major roadways makes Colonial Springs a practical option for golfers throughout Nassau and western Suffolk counties. The layout reflects the practical considerations of Long Island public golf: manageable length, straightforward maintenance, and routing that accommodates steady play throughout the season.
