Harbor Links Golf Club

This windswept Long Island Sound layout rewards precise iron play over brute strength, with constant coastal breezes demanding thoughtful club selection on every approach. The front nine hugs marshland that comes into play more than you'd expect, while the back nine opens up with generous fairways that tempt you into aggressive lines you'll often regret. What sets this track apart is how the design team maximized every yard of relatively flat terrain, creating strategic interest through clever bunkering and greens that slope toward the water—a rarity among New York's public offerings.
