Getting there
Most visitors arrive via Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip, roughly thirty minutes to the southwest, though many fly into JFK or LaGuardia and make the eastward drive along the Long Island Expressway - a journey of seventy to ninety minutes depending on traffic and departure point. The route gradually sheds the density of Queens and Nassau County, trading suburban sprawl for the quieter, tree-lined roads of Suffolk's North Shore. St. George's Golf & Country Club sits tucked into the wooded hills of East Setauket, just inland from the harbors and coves of Long Island Sound, its discreet entrance marking the transition from public thoroughfare to private sanctuary.
