The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
Players describe Nassau as a tight, sloping, par-70 Glen Cove classic with small, firm, ticklish greens and fairways that run for miles, a historically rich club (and the birthplace of the Nassau bet) that punishes the putter as much as the driver, with the 6th, 13th and 15th repeatedly called the standout holes.
Consistently praised
- Small, firm, fast greens get called the real defense, harder than the yardage suggests.
- Holes 6, 13 and 15 plus the cemetery alongside the 10th tee are memorable.
Worth knowing
- Tight sloping fairways and aggressive green firmness frustrate players who do not control trajectory.
Golfers recommend
- Land approaches short of the flag, balls bounce out fast on these greens.
- Play position off the tee, the fairways slope and a flat lie is worth more than ten yards.
