Description: The original course is now barren land, but across the street from the old site is a real links-style gem situated between the Atlantic Ocean and Reynolds Channel. Designed by Robert Trent Jones in 1948, the current layout has breathtaking views of the water and offers some real wind-swept holes that echo the old design. With scarcely a tree anywhere, even the inland holes - which are wide-open and feature a dotting of fairway bunkers - can play tough. The holes on the water (nine all together have significant water in play) are no easy task when the wind is dead, and when it’s up, are as tough as any links-style in the area. For the most part, the greens are small, elevated and well guarded, with some deep greenside bunkers throughout.
Reader Comments: It’s such a great facility, I would want to play it every day ... Changes every time I’m out there, and every time it’s a new challenge ... A real “bear” when the wind is blowing ... Some of the best holes on L.I., period ... Wonderful condition the whole year. |
