The Bridge Golf Club


About this course
Carved from the remnants of a former bridge-building factory, The Bridge in Sag Harbor presents a golfing paradox: a monument to both industrial might and refined leisure. The course, sculpted in the early 2000s, plays across dramatic, rolling terrain, a stark contrast to the flat, potato-farm landscapes more typical of Long Island's East End. Its generous fairways belie the strategic challenge that awaits, favoring the bold player who can confidently navigate the sharp doglegs and blind shots demanded by the layout. Designed by Rees Jones, The Bridge eschews the prim perfection of some modern courses, embracing a more rugged aesthetic. The routing takes full advantage of the property's varied elevations, creating a course that is as visually stunning as it is demanding. The Bridge does not host any major championships, but it is known to cater to a high-profile membership, the quiet, understated feel is a clear sign to visitors that they have reached something special. Known for its exclusivity, The Bridge has fostered a unique, low-key culture among its members. The club is located in a wealthy area of Long Island and is known for its members as high-profile business men, celebrities, and more. The club also hosts the annual Bridge Pro-Am, an event that brings together professional golfers and amateur players for a weekend of competition and camaraderie.

Getting there
The Bridge Golf Club lies in the heart of the Hamptons, roughly two hours east of Manhattan via the Long Island Expressway and Montauk Highway, a drive that transitions from suburban sprawl to open farmland and hedgerow-lined estates. MacArthur Airport in Islip offers the nearest commercial gateway, while East Hampton Airport and private helicopter service from Manhattan provide discreet alternatives favored by those seeking to avoid summer weekend traffic. The final miles wind through Bridgehampton's pastoral stretches of potato fields and vineyard rows before arriving at one of Long Island's most guarded golf sanctuaries, where the landscape opens to reveal Rees Jones's links-inspired masterwork set against the Atlantic horizon.
