Had a Day yesterday at Devereux Emmet’s masterpiece. Long Island stands alone as the Mecca for unparalleled great golf courses in America. Everyone knows of NGLA, Shinnecock, Friars, Maidstone….the list goes on and on. But, only the true golf course crazy’s know of St George’s.

The course is short in length. It plays as a par 70 with two par 5s at 6500 yards from the tips. Its defenses are the bunkering, green contours, and prevailing winds that the course gets almost daily.

I didn’t see the place before the reno but these green complexes are pretty mind-blowing. The par-3 templates are possibly the best i’ve played. And great routing—it’s not right in front of you but uses the land in interesting ways on almost every hole.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s scenery rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Scenery is the scenery score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs scenery ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Port Jefferson, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
