There are three nine-hole courses here; the Red, White and Blue. All have their highlights but the 3,168-yard Blue Course is the most picturesque and memorable.
There is water on each hole, with holes 4, 5 and 6 running along Great South Bay, which produces strong winds that make all three of the courses a challenge. The Blue Course features one of the most knee-shaking holes anywhere, the uphill 188-yard par-3 fifth, called Gibraltar because its green sits on a bluff resembling the famous rock off the coast of Spain.
Hours: 7 a.m.-6 p.m. weekdays, 6 a.m.-6 p.m. weekends May-October; times vary to mid-December; 7 a.m.-5 p.m. daily March-April.
