The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
Golfers treat Engineers as one of Long Island’s most imaginative Golden Age layouts, with wildly contoured greens that punish a sloppy second shot and reward the player who picks his spots. Reviewers single out the tiny par 3 fourteenth, known as the Two or Twenty, as a hole where the right miss can spiral into a card-wrecker.
Consistently praised
- The greens get described as some of the boldest and most undulating on the Island, defended by ravines and natural land movement rather than gimmick bunkering.
- Memorable short holes, especially the famous 14th, where Bobby Jones and Sarazen both melted down in the early days.
- The land itself moves enough to make second shots and recoveries feel different every round.
Worth knowing
- Players warn that the slope rating undersells how punishing the greens can be, especially when pins are tucked.
Golfers recommend
- Take a club less and stay below the hole; putts can roll completely off if you are above the cup.
- On the short par 3s, accept that the green is the only acceptable miss, then commit to the number.
