Sebonack Golf Course

About this course
Sebonack, carved into the bluffs overlooking Peconic Bay in Southampton, is a monument to unbridled ambition, a place where size and scope are paramount. Opened in 2006, this modern links-style creation immediately announced its intent to rival the titans of American golf. Designed by Tom Doak and Jack Nicklaus, Sebonack presents a sprawling canvas of fescue grasses, undulating fairways, and strategically placed bunkers. The prevailing winds and dramatic elevation changes across the property conspire to create a challenging and visually stunning round, favoring players who can shape shots and manage the elements. It's a course that tests the long ball, but rewards creativity around the greens. Sebonack was the stage for the 2013 U.S. Women's Open, won by Inbee Park, a testament to its championship pedigree and ability to challenge the world's best. While not steeped in the same historical lore as some of its Long Island neighbors, Sebonack offers a uniquely modern and luxurious experience, reflecting the area's reputation as a playground for the affluent.

Getting there
Most visitors arrive via Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip, roughly forty-five minutes west, though many fly into New York's major hubs and helicopter directly to East Hampton Airport, a discreet fifteen-minute drive from the club. The final stretch follows Montauk Highway east through the Hamptons, where manicured hedgerows and farm stands give way to salt marsh and dune grass as you near the Atlantic. Sebonack's gated entrance appears quietly off Sebonack Road, offering little fanfare - only the promise of one of America's most exclusive and breathtaking links awaiting beyond the guardhouse.
