Timber Point Golf Club


About this course
Timber Point Golf Club's Blue/White nines, cradled within the Suffolk County Police Department Marine Bureau grounds near Great River, whisper tales of accessible respite from the bustling Long Island sound. This is no championship gauntlet but it is one of only a few golf clubs run by an area's Police department. Drawn across a primarily flat parkland terrain, the Blue/White combination presents a straightforward challenge with minimal elevation change. The design favors those who keep it on the short grass, but its strategic bunkering and mature trees often necessitate a thoughtful approach. It is not overly long but its narrow fairways add character and make scoring opportunities readily available for accurate players. While not steeped in tournament lore or architecturally significant pedigree, the course fulfills an important function as a relaxed and affordable public access course. Timber Point's is known to serve the community and provide a welcomed recreational outlet for many golfers of different ages and abilities.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Timber Point Golf Club begin at either LaGuardia or JFK, both roughly an hour's drive west depending on traffic and tides. The route traces the southern shore of Long Island, slipping past suburban sprawl before narrowing into the quieter, salt-aired reaches of Suffolk County. As you cross into Great River, the landscape opens toward the Great South Bay, and the final turn delivers you onto a slender peninsula where Timber Point has held its ground since 1923 - a public treasure perched between tidal marshes and open water, as much a part of the estuary as the ospreys overhead.
