When the European sport of golf found its method to Long Island and took root within the Hamptons at Shinnecock Hills in 1891, its journey around the Atlantic served as the outlet drive of a recreational era that now spans three centuries. Home to more than 130 golf courses, the area boasts prestigious American clubs overlooking picturesque Atlantic bays and inlets, along side public layouts hiking and descending the region’s sloping terrain. Long Island is home to the most well liked municipal golf facility within the country, the center piece of which is Bethpage Black, “the People’s Country Club.” Celebrated architects like A.W. Tillinghast, Devereux Emmet, Seth Raynor, and C.B. Macdonald built many of Long Island’s famous courses, which have challenged the brightest of golf’s stars. International tournaments and star-studded exhibitions have all been determined on Long Island turf, helping it grow into one of the most world’s most prominent golf settings.
