Respectfully, I’m not sure this course would carry the same rating if you picked it up and moved it somewhere else. Another sandy-based course, which isn’t necessarily my personal favorite, but the setting is what makes Sebonack so special.

Best second shot golf course I’ve ever seen. You can hit every fairway and shoot 80. Second shot on hole 10 and the tee shot on 11 are probably two of the scariest shots I’ve ever had, with no real penalty other than massive slopes. Water isn’t necessary to create fear!

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Southampton, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
