    Time capsule experience with template holes, modest length and adherence to the past. The setting cannot be replicated anywhere.

    Short and outdated by today’s standards if the wind is calm. However, this is a course I could play every single day for the rest of my life and never get bored. The whales breaching off the back of the 18th green doesn’t suck either.

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s layout rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Layout is the layout score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs layout 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 Montauk, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
