The views of the Long Island Sound are great at Island's End.
Description: Built on the beautifully rolling and rocky land that runs along north shore of Eastern Long Island, this track is a scenic delight. There are many views of the Long Island Sound, most of the time with views straight across to Connecticut. The course takes advantage of the terrain, and has a ton of nice foilage, tree-lined fairways and a moderate elevation changes.
Although it's not an overly demanding course, and it's not long by today's standards, when the wind kicks up off the Sound -- which it does quite often -- it can be a tough go-around. The fairways are generally expansive, and the greens are subtle and always in good shape. With a good amount of mounding, some well-placed bunkers, and a handful of doglegs, this is a enjoyable course for any level of player.
