18-HOLE COURSE

Built: 1979
Architect: Charles K. Martin

Description: Amidst a beautful setting in the heart of Suffolk County’s bucolic pine barrens, this tract is often associated with its fantastic, incredibly large greens, strategically placed fairway bunkers and beautiful scenery.  The greens although they’re not very undulating, the sheer size of them can be mentally daunting, it will only a matter of time before you find yourself with a 80-foot putt and very little idea of how to deal with it.  If played from the back tees the course stretches out to over 7,000 yards.  Water comes into play on nine holes and sets the tone for a relaxed, yet challenging round of golf in a very serene setting.  It is essentially flat and fairly open, and with its length, is a fair test for beginners and advanced players alike.

Signature Hole: #12.  A very long, 466 yard, par 4 (from the back tees).  Fairway is a slight dogleg left, that leads to a well bunkered green.  Chosen by Newsday as one of the 18 toughest holes on Long Island.

Comments: Can be quite challenging from the tips.  Some of the largest greens I’ve ever seen...3 and even 4 putts are not uncommon here.  Always makes for a wonderful golfing experience.  Challenging, yet fun and enjoyable for all skill levels.  The course is always well maintained and the friendly, accommodating staff make you feel welcome.  Make sure that you get out and play this wonderful course, you won’t be disappointed.

Directions:  Distance from Manhattan approximately 72 miles.
LIE (east) to exit 70, go left at end of exit ramp and follow to end of road (about 1/4 mile).  Go right onto Ryerson St. and proceed to stop sign, (North St.) and go right.  Bear left at fork and proceed 1/2 mile to River Rd. (go right), one mile to club on left.
