Wind is a major factor at this
waterside 18-hole course that sits between Reynolds Channel
and the Atlantic Ocean. Players must
contend with the channel and a series of ponds and inlets throughout
most of the back nine. The course was selected by Newsday as one of
the Island's best public courses in 2008, and its double-carry 16th
hole is part of Newsday's Long Island Dream 18.
