What Changes Are Coming to Pine Ridge Golf Club Under Brooke Management?

Updated

Brooke Management Group has acquired Pine Ridge Golf Club in Coram, NY, and launched a multi-year transformation of the property. The announced plans cover four areas: course renovations and playing-condition improvements, a modernized clubhouse with a gastropub atmosphere, enhanced practice facilities and driving range experiences, and technology-driven amenities. Some items are already underway — the driving range is temporarily closed for new soil and seed — while others, including Inrange® interactive range technology, GPS-equipped golf carts, and autonomous delivery robots, are described as planned enhancements.

Who is behind the changes

Pine Ridge is now managed by Brooke Management Group, which describes itself as led by lifelong golf enthusiasts who also operate other Long Island golf facilities and instruction programs. The group's portfolio listed on the site includes:

  • Bethpage
  • Harbor Links
  • Montauk Downs
  • The 9@ Merrick Golf Course
  • Pine Ridge

The same group reports 13+ coaches across 5 locations and a Golf Channel Academy instruction program. Pine Ridge is billed as "Central Long Island's Premiere Public Golf Course & Practice Facility."

What is actually planned

Course and playing conditions

The site lists "course renovations and playing-condition improvements" as coming soon, without a published timeline or scope for individual holes. A Pinehurst-style waste bunker is named among the future features.

Clubhouse and dining

A "modernized clubhouse and gastropub atmosphere" is announced as part of the transformation. A restaurant page exists in the site navigation, but no opening date or menu details are given.

Practice facilities and driving range

Enhanced practice facilities and driving range experiences are planned. The most concrete item here is the current range closure: new soil and seed are being applied to establish improved turf throughout the facility, with a target reopening of Saturday, September 26. The club advises staying tuned for updates as work progresses.

Technology

Planned technology enhancements include:

Planned item What it is meant to do
Inrange® interactive driving range technology Interactive range experience
GPS-equipped golf carts On-course navigation and positioning
Autonomous delivery robots Bring food and beverages directly to golfers on the course

The stated goal is "a more connected and enjoyable experience from the first swing to the final putt." These are described as planned, not as already installed.

What you can do now

  • Book a tee time — the site has a "Book Your Tee Times" call to action, so booking is available during the transition.
  • Check course fees — a fees page is part of the site navigation if you want current pricing before you go.
  • Join the email list — the club says subscribers will be "the First to Receive Updates on Course Improvements, New Amenities, Special Events, and Exclusive Offers."
  • Join the membership interest list — for those considering membership rather than individual rounds.
  • Contact the club — 2 Golf Course Drive, Coram, NY 11727; 631-331-7930. A chat option and a comments form are also offered.

Before you plan a visit

The driving range is closed until the target reopening date of Saturday, September 26, so do not count on range warm-ups before then. Because the transformation is multi-year and most items are labeled "coming soon," treat the clubhouse, dining, and technology features as future plans rather than current amenities — confirm what is open when you book. The site also notes that Pine Ridge is entering "an exciting new chapter," with updates distributed through the email list, which is the most direct way to track specific reopening dates and new amenity launches.
