Garden City Golf Club

The windswept links-style layout on Long Island's south shore delivers authentic seaside golf just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean. Devereux Emmet's 1899 design navigates through rolling dunes and native fescue, where coastal breezes make club selection a constant puzzle and the firm, fast conditions reward creativity over power. You'll find yourself plotting angles around deep pot bunkers and elevated greens that demand the kind of strategic thinking that separates this gem from the countless parkland tracks dotting the metropolitan area.
