About this course

Smithtown Landing Golf Club is a public facility located on Long Island's North Shore in Smithtown, New York. The course occupies land with the rolling terrain and wooded character typical of this part of Suffolk County, where glacial topography created varied elevation changes and natural drainage corridors. The layout takes advantage of the property's mature tree cover and modest elevation shifts to create a parkland-style experience accessible to the Long Island golfing public. The course serves the local community as a municipal facility, offering a straightforward test of golf without the elaborate features or conditioning standards of private clubs in the region. Its routing navigates through wooded sections and more open areas, with holes that require accuracy off the tee given the tree-lined fairways common to older Long Island courses. Water features and bunkers provide hazards on select holes, though the design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels. Smithtown Landing operates as part of the town's recreational infrastructure, providing accessible golf in a region where private clubs dominate the landscape. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse offering basic amenities. Its location near the Long Island Sound and proximity to both residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors makes it a convenient option for local golfers seeking a casual round in a wooded, suburban setting.

Getting there

Smithtown Landing Golf Club lies on Long Island's North Shore, roughly an hour's drive east from LaGuardia Airport (LGA) or ninety minutes from JFK International, depending on traffic along the Long Island Expressway. The route carries you through suburban sprawl before yielding to the quieter, more wooded character of Suffolk County, where the landscape opens toward glimpses of the Long Island Sound. As you turn off Jericho Turnpike and wind through residential streets toward the waterfront, the transition is subtle but unmistakable - the air salted, the light softer, the sense of arrival at a club that has occupied this particular bend of the Nissequogue River since 1961.
