LONG ISLAND NATIONAL GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Riverhead, NY, USA
Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.



Long Island National, carved into the heart of Long Island's North Fork, presents a formidable challenge against a backdrop of agricultural history. Built upon former potato fields in Aquebogue, the course presents a unique juxtaposition: the meticulous artistry of golf design layered atop the rugged practicality of the region's farming heritage.
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., Long Island National’s modern architecture favors a strategic, rather than purely power-based game. Generous fairways belie the trouble lurking in the well-placed bunkers and undulating greens, asking players to consider angles and approach shots as much as raw distance. Local lore suggests a prevailing wind off the Long Island Sound can turn a seemingly benign approach into a card-wrecker, favoring those who respect the elements.
While it may not hold a place in major championship conversations, Long Island National serves as a beloved test for local and regional players, hosting numerous amateur events. The club's understated clubhouse, known for its relaxed atmosphere, buzzes with weekend tournaments and the quiet satisfaction of a round well-played on the North Fork. The simple pleasure of a post-round lobster roll has become something of a tradition, embodying the area’s blend of rustic charm and sophisticated leisure.
