27-HOLE GOLF COMPLEX

Renovated & re-opened: 1971
Description: This 27-hole facility that sits along the Great South Bay was lost in the shuffle of great LI golf courses for a long time because of its sub-par conditioning.  That is now a thing of a the past.  With the conditions very good and still getting better, the terrific holes that exists on these two nines - along with the wonderful scenery - are being recognized as just about the best bang-for-your-buck on L.I.  The Red nine starts you off in the middle of serene parkland golf, but by the last three holes you are playing holes that are carved out of marshland.  The Blue nine is just about as good as it gets, as fairways and greens are bordered by the lightly crashing waves of the Bay.  There is no let up anywhere on this picturesque and wind-swept track.

Comments: One of the best kept secrets on L.I. ... The Blue nine is comparable to any nine holes in the area ... Beautiful and challenging; a pleasure.  One of the most picturesque courses in the NY anea with many holes playing along the Great South Bay and others with stunning views of the bay.  From the tips, this can be a real challenge for the finest players, and if the wind is up it becomes a real bear.  Not overly penal and quite fair, it makes for a wonderful round of golf, can play it every day.

9-Hole RED Course

Description: The inland nine.  A parkland setting, with tree-lined fairways, deep bunkers and small undulating greens. The first six holes of this nine are pretty standard parkland golf, but once you cross the road and start heading towards the bay, it gets interesting.  Marshes begin to come into play and increasing winds make for an interesting game.

9-Hole BLUE Course

Description: Without question, one of the best nine holes of public golf available on LI.  As fairways are carved between marshes and greens are bordered by the lightly crashing waves of the Great South Bay, there is no let up anywhere on this picturesque and wind-swept track.

9-Hole WHITE Course

Description: The shortest and easiest of the three nines, the White has a non-descript links-style to it, with not many bunkers, not many hazards, and larger greens.  Yet, by no means boring.  A wonderful course of the mid to high handicapper.

Directions: Distance from Manhattan approximately 54 miles.
LIE (east) to Exit 53S.  Follow Sagtikos Pkwy. (south), at end, bear left, this leads to Southern State Pkwy. (east), which becomes Hecksher Pkwy.  Proceed (east) to Exit 45E (Montauk Hwy. - east).  At first traffic light, Great River Rd. (go right) and follow to club.
