About this course
Atlantic Golf Club, carved into the heart of Bridgehampton, is a testament to core golf values and a retreat from the Hamptons' social whirlwind. Its relatively young pedigree belies the classic sensibilities woven into its design. Crafted in the late 1990s by Rees Jones, the course unfolds across rolling, open terrain reminiscent of classic links, though with a uniquely Long Island character. Known for its wide fairways and demanding approach shots into well-protected greens, Atlantic favors strategic play over sheer power. Atlantic is a player's course, rewarding thoughtful shot selection and deft touch around the greens. While not a fixture on the professional tournament circuit, Atlantic's prestige is rooted in its exclusivity and the caliber of its membership. The club quietly fosters a vibrant golfing community. Post-round, members often gather to savor the club's well-regarded lobster roll. The club's low profile, combined with an elite but understated membership, contributes to the course's revered, if understated, position within the upper echelon of East Coast golf.

Getting there
The journey to Atlantic Golf Club begins at one of the New York metro area's three major gateways - JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark - though many members opt for the discretion of East Hampton Airport or Gaunt Airport in Westhampton, both within minutes of the club. From Manhattan, the drive stretches roughly two and a half hours east along the Long Island Expressway before peeling south through the Hamptons' famously manicured farmland and hedgerow-lined lanes. The final approach down Butter Lane trades summer traffic for a hushed, tree-canopied corridor, revealing little of what lies beyond the understated entrance - a fitting prelude to one of the most private and architecturally revered courses on the East End.
