Willow Creek is slightly over an hour east of Manhattan, off the LIE in Mt. Sinai.

The golf course is a challenging, target layout along fairways defined by trees, with water in play on over half the holes. It's loaded with an array of conventional, pot, and waste area sand bunkers guarding the fairways and the generous, contoured, and sloping greens. From the tips, it's 6,611 yards, 72.9/134, course/slope ratings. The Blue tees are at 6,311 yards, 71.3/131, designed by Stephen Kay as part of a real estate development.
