Merrick Road Park Golf Course
Clubhouse Road
Merrick, NY 11566
516-868-4650
A good challenge for golfers of any skill level. Fairways are of comfortable width but the greens are undulating and can be tough to read.
There are sporadic trees lining the fairways, and most of them they only affect your shot if you get stuck directly a tree trunk. Water plays on the left of holes 1 and 2, but if you hit it straight, you're fine.
The bunkers on holes 1 and 6 look clearable from the tee box, but that's harder to do than you first think. If you're a big hitter, go for it. If not, lay up and play it safe. There's still a chance for the birdie.
