“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Port Jeff is on the Long Island Sound, so expect some wind. Certainly better than a municipal, the Jeff is in decent condition, however not up there with the likes of other clubs. I do not love the layout of the front 9 and the back 9 certainly takes the cake here.”
