What a marvelous course! For many golfers, playing Shinnecock is best done by leaving your expectations at home. I found no "easy holes" anywhere on it. Caddies call #11 the shortest par 5 in America. Yes, they're laughing, but not kidding. With any wind, Shinnecock unravels good golfers, mid-teen handicappers, well, just enjoy the ride. It redefines "a tough course" for me. It is a stunning view of world-class golf, not a lot of players get to experience. So grateful for the opportunity.

Classic and Historical golf course. Great condition in early October 2023. Par 70 with lots of tee box/yardage options.

One of the truest and purest tests of your golf game, and absolutely one of the greatest golf courses on planet Earth. Make sure you take in the sun and breeze before teeing off because "Shinny" will test you like no other.Out on the eastern terrain of Long Island, where the land meets the sea and the winds never truly rest, there lies Shinnecock Hills. It is not just a golf course, but a proving ground, a place where man meets nature, challenges it, respects it.The old links, with its deep roots tracing back to the late 1800s, has a soul. Walking its fairways, one can feel the weight of history underfoot, the whisper of tales from eras gone by. It is, in essence, a living testament to the evolution of golf.Shinnecock does not pamper nor deceive. It stands tall, unyielding, with its rolling terrains, thick fescue, and the ever-present winds that tell tales of the Atlantic. Each hole is an invitation to dance, to wrestle, to find one's rhythm amidst the challenges laid bare.The William Flynn design, with its minimalist approach, emphasizes strategy over strength. It's not about how far, but how well. The greens, elevated and swift, demand nothing less than precision. Misjudge, and the course, like an old bull in a Spanish arena, will not hesitate to remind you of your place.Yet, for all its stern demeanor, Shinnecock offers moments of sheer, raw beauty. The vista from the clubhouse, overlooking the Peconic Bay, is a sight to behold. It speaks of endless horizons, of dreams and challenges, of the dance between land, sea, and sky.The bunkers, strategically placed, are not mere pitfalls but guardians of history. They have seen champions rise and falter, have cradled the balls of legends and novices alike, reminding every golfer of the course's rich tapestry of tales.Playing Shinnecock is not merely a round of golf. It's an odyssey, a voyage through time and elements. Every swing, every putt, is a page in the story that each golfer writes, set against the backdrop of this ancient, hallowed ground.In the heart of Southampton, Shinnecock stands as a beacon. A reminder that golf, at its core, is not just a game but a dialogue with nature, history, and oneself.To play here is to embrace the pure essence of golf, to become a part of a legacy that is as enduring as the winds that sweep its fairways.

Beautiful, rolling hills. A true links style course to challenge a good game. Not for the novice!
