Montauk Downs State Park Golf Course
50 S. Fairview Ave. Montauk, NY 631-668-1100
OK, here's the deal: You'll need to budget an entire day to play this course, as it is located at the furthest point east on Long Island and takes an eternity to get to. If you drive into the Atlantic Ocean, you've gone to far, but not by much.
Your reward for the lengthy jaunt along Route 27 is one of the most scenic and fun, not to mention challenging, courses imaginable.
The course is tucked on piece of land between the Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, meaning wind. Lots of it, all the time.
Montauk Downs is annually rated in Golf Digest as one of the top 50 public golf courses in the country. The signature hole? Just about all of them.
