The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
Golfers describe Inwood as a charming, throwback Herbert Strong design that is short by modern standards but full of personality, with a quirky early stretch of three straight par 5s into back-to-back par 3s and a Bobby Jones finishing hole. Tom Doak and others praise the bunkering and routing, while reviewers note it is more delightful than punishing for low handicaps.
Consistently praised
- Genuine Golden Age character with bold, original Strong bunkering.
- The 18th, site of Jones’s 1923 winning approach, and Jamaica Bay backdrop.
Worth knowing
- Strong players may find it short and not a rigorous test from the standard tees.
Golfers recommend
- Soak in the history at 18 and the par 3 7th, which reviewers call the toughest one-shotter.
- Play for position on the par 5s rather than going at greens, since bunkering is the defense.
