National is the funnest on course day I believe in golf. Design elements, exceptional walk,Setting, the crescendo. All of it completely satisfies.

Respectfully, I’m not sure this course would carry the same rating if you picked it up and moved it somewhere else. Another sandy-based course, which isn’t necessarily my personal favorite, but the setting is what makes Sebonack so special.

Short and outdated by today’s standards if the wind is calm. However, this is a course I could play every single day for the rest of my life and never get bored. The whales breaching off the back of the 18th green doesn’t suck either.

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 Southampton, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
