02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

Routinely called one of the best public courses in New York and a favorite alongside Bethpage’s top tracks, an RTJ design with real elevation, narrow fairways, deep bunkers and fast greens, where ocean wind acts like a fifth player.

Best forBucket-list

Consistently praised

Genuine elevation and undulation rare on Long Island, plus fast firm greens.
Sits in the same conversation as Bethpage Red and Black for best LI public.

Worth knowing

Wind can rewrite the course day to day, and reviewers consistently cite a sour pro shop and starter experience.

Golfers recommend

Take a cart if you do not love climbing; several reviewers flag the walk as moderately tough.
Add a club or two into the wind; it blows harder than the forecast.
