Timber Point Golf Course
150 River Rd. Great River, NY 631-581-2401
There are three nine-hole courses here; the Red, White and Blue. All have their highlights but the 3,168-yard Blue Course is the most picturesque and memorable.
There is water on each hole, with holes 4, 5 and 6 running along Great South Bay, which produces strong winds that make all three of the courses a challenge. The Blue Course features one of the most knee-shaking holes anywhere, the uphill 188-yard par-3 fifth, called Gibraltar because its green sits on a bluff resembling the famous rock off the coast of Spain.
