Timber Point Golf Course ☆ Follow

Timber Point Golf Course is a public 27-hole regulation length, full-service facility, located south of Montauk Highway in Great River. The facility has three 9-hole courses: The Red Course, The White Course, and The Blue course. These 9-hole courses can be combined to form three different 18-hole, 6,500 yard, par-72 courses, Red/White, Red/Blue, and White/Blue. The original eighteen holes were the Red and Blue Courses. They first opened for play in 1927. The course designers were H. S. Colt and C. H. Alison. The White Course opened in 1973.

Positioned where the Connetquot River meets the Great South Bay, golfers are treated to magnificent vistas of the South Shore that include Fire Island, Heckscher State Park, Bourne Mansion, and Oakdale. The course plays over a variety of terrain comprising of both park and links land settings. The ever-shifting shore breeze guarantees a stern test and a round that never quite plays the same way twice. The Blue Course is flat and runs alongside the Great South Bay. The putting greens are medium-sized, undulating, well-bunkered, and some are elevated. There are three ponds and a creek that come into play on five holes. The #2 Hole (Blue) - 146 Yards - Par 3 is Timber Point Country Club's signature hole. This hole offers a panoramic view of the Connetquot River and the Great South Bay as you hit off of an elevated tee across a pond on this memorable short hole.

The club was built and formed in the roaring twenties along with other prominent estates that were constructed along the south shore during that time. The original mansion now serves as the clubhouse and still over looks the 231-acre property much the same way it did for club founders, Horace Havermeyer, Buell Hollister and Kingsland Macy.
