Southampton Golf Course ☆ Follow

Southampton Golf Club is an 18-hole course with a par of 70, playing 6,287 yards from the back tees with a slope of 129 and a rating of 71.3. The course was designed by Seth Raynor and opened in 1925. Located on the edges of Shinnecock Hills and the National Golf Links of America, the course is situated in Southampton on Long Island. Originally renovated by William F. Mitchell in 1967 and then by Brian Silva in 2004, Silva's renovation saw the course return to its original Raynor character with trees removed and bunkers redone. Open driving areas are protected by challenging cross bunkers, while greens are guarded by flowing creeks that snake alongside holes offering dramatic risk-reward opportunities.

The course features numerous Raynor design templates including Short, Maiden, Knoll, Raynor's Prize, Redan, Double Plateau, Eden, Long, Biarritz, Punchbowl, and Road. The par-4 6th hole, known as Raynor's dogleg, features a nearly blind tee shot that borders Shinnecock Hills. While the front nine holes are very hilly and uneven, the back nine are relatively flat, with four ponds serving as water hazards to four holes.
