The Town of Oyster Bay Golf Course




About this course
Oyster Bay Golf Course isn't chasing major championships, but rather delivers a solid, accessible golfing experience steeped in the tradition of Long Island public golf. Carved from the rolling terrain of Woodbury, this municipal course presents a challenging yet fair layout for players of all skill levels. Originally designed as a classic parkland course, Oyster Bay underwent a significant renovation that subtly modernized its playability, preserving its inherent character while incorporating contemporary design elements. The layout features tree-lined fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and subtly contoured greens that reward thoughtful approaches. While not overly long, the course demands strategic play, with several doglegs and elevation changes that require careful club selection. Local lore whispers of a particularly devilish back-to-back stretch that has humbled many a weekend warrior. While Oyster Bay might not grace the headlines of major golf publications, it stands as a beloved fixture within the Long Island golfing community. Its unpretentious atmosphere and affordable rates have fostered a loyal following of local players who appreciate its well-maintained conditions and engaging layout.

Getting there
The Town of Oyster Bay Golf Course lies in the wooded heart of Long Island's North Shore, roughly thirty-five miles east of Manhattan. Most visitors arrive via LaGuardia (LGA) or JFK, followed by a forty-minute drive through the suburban sprawl of Nassau County that gradually softens into the rolling, estate-dotted landscape of Woodbury. The final approach threads through quiet residential roads and stands of mature hardwoods, delivering you to a municipal gem that feels refreshingly removed from the city's hum - a testament to the enduring green pockets of Long Island's Gold Coast country.
