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

Best second shot golf course I’ve ever seen. You can hit every fairway and shoot 80. Second shot on hole 10 and the tee shot on 11 are probably two of the scariest shots I’ve ever had, with no real penalty other than massive slopes. Water isn’t necessary to create fear!

Time capsule experience with template holes, modest length and adherence to the past. The setting cannot be replicated anywhere.

Short and outdated by today’s standards if the wind is calm.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.

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.
