The 210-acre course in Roslyn Harbor, New York was designed by English architect and golf professional Herbert Strong. The course was remodeled in 1921 by world-renowned golf course architect Devereux Emmet and later by Frank Duane. The original architect followed the layouts of some of the most challenging holes in Scotland. Publications from the early days of the club described it as “a bag of tricks,” but the course was soon recognized as one of the finest in the country.

Drive it down the left center. The longer hitter can make it to the green in 2. It is important the long hitter hits it up the left side of the green. For the shorter hitter lay it up to the 100-yard maker as hitting a full shot into the green is easier then a half shot.

This could be one of the easier birdie opportunities on the course as the green is a large funnel. You can either challenge the green with a driver or layup with 180-200 yard off the tee. You will then be left with a short 2nd shot into the green.

Being a long hitter will definitely make this hole much easier as it is one of the longer par 4’s on the golf course. Keep it right of the fairway bunkers. The 2nd shot you will hit it into the longest green we have on the property. Look around as you get to the green as the vistas are stunning.

We call it 2 or 20 as this is the shortest par 3 that we have to offer but it might be one of the toughest greens to hit. If you play the correct shot into the left to right green you might have a tap in. If you miss the green you will be challenged with the toughest up in down the year.

Driver is not needed. Better players might choose to hit a long iron off the tee. Hitting it towards the trees in the distance on the left side of the fairway.

Generous fairway as it slopes from right to left. It is a blind tee shot so much sure you pick the centerline of the fairway. You will be hitting into a massively slope green from left to right. Use the slope to trickle the ball into the pin.

Pro Tips
Hit it down the left side of the fairway as it slopes from right to left. You will be left with a challenging 2nd shot. Aim at our “E” Logo behind the green as that is the best place to feed the ball into a right pin location. If the pin is on the left being on the right side of the green is not a bad place as you will be able to putt it uphill.
