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.

Classic Willie Park Jr course. Post Reno with the trees taken out has created a more open enjoyable round. Greens are fast & firm. Keeps asking you questions on each hole - fun round

Really fun layout that you could play every day and never get bored. Raised greens give it really beautiful scale and create challenge when you end up in the wrong spot.

Fully deserving of the #1 course in CT ranking. A great experience all around. A championship test with some of the toughest greens I’ve ever seen. Layout has a good mix of long and short holes and a few monster Par 5’s.

Some forgettable holes, but the good ones were pretty good. A little too quirky at times, but in phenomenal shape. Met Open played extremely difficult, think -1 was a 2 man playoff

Course is really solid all around. Cool layout, interesting holes, a good mixture of different types of holes. Probably doesn’t get the respect it deserves because of all the good courses around it. Really fun.

A classic Deveruex Emmet course, Huntington is decently fun track. Layout and design is not spectacular, but the grounds crew does a very good job. Fast greens and more than 1 gettable 4s make it interesting.

My practice round the green was stimping at around a 12, after some rain that week it ended up being around a 9. Disappointing, but overall some really fun holes. 18 holes are kinda crammed into a small space so a lot of quirky holes especially on the back

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.

Well maintained course that is difficult, yet offers the ability to score well. Not very penal off the tee. Difficult around the greens.
