BOTH ARE US TOP 10 COURSES (GOLF DIGEST MAY 2005) BUT ARE ALSO UNFORTUNATELY MEMBERS ONLY. THE US OPEN WAS LAST HELD AT SHINNECOCK HILLS AS RECENTLY AS 2004.

HOWEVER NOT TO WORRY AS THERE ARE SOME EXCELLENT PUBLIC GOLF COURSES AVAILABLE IN THE LOCAL AREA. FURTHER INFORMATION IS GIVEN BELOW.

PLEASE NOTE: IT IS GENERALLY A GOOD IDEA TO CONFIRM A TEE-TIME IN ADVANCE IF YOU WISH TO PLAY DURING YOUR STAY

LONG ISLAND NATIONAL GOLF COURSE 15 MILES

This Robert Trent Jones, Jr. course is guaranteed to challenge golfers of all levels, this unique par 71, 6,800 yard course offers a spectacular mix of links and traditional design elements. Not quite Shinnecock but a great course!

THE WOODS AT CHERRY CREEK GC 15 MILES

MONTAUK DOWNS GC 45 MILES

Montauk Downs was originally developed in 1927. Robert Trent Jones Jr. redesigned the present course in 1968. State Parks purchased the facility in 1980. The ever-changing wind currents off the ocean and bay can change the way the course plays each day.

BETH PAGE BLACK COURSE 40 MILES

Bethpage State Park is best known for its five world-class golf courses, including the world-renowned Black Course which was the site of the U.S. Open Championship in 2002 and will again host the U.S. Open in 2009.
