Shinnecock Hills is an incredible combination of great architecture and championship golf on the absolute highest level.

Their recent US Open history is littered with dramatic moments regarding course conditioning with the hand-watering of the 7th green between groups in ‘04, Phil hitting the moving ball on the 13th green and Mike Davis’ comments on Saturday of the 2018 US Open that the golf course got away from them ...

Given the proximity to its equally famous neighbor, it’s inevitable to want to make comparisons between Shinnecock and NGLA.

Both courses are incredible in their own right, but each delivers a very different experience. I found Shinnecock to be ~6-8 shots harder than National as it was much harder to recover from the junk. I learned that this is likely due to the fact that Shinnecock does not do a controlled burn of their...

Shinnecock is a proper US Open Venue and one of the truest tests in golf.

Was fortunate to have the opportunity to play SHGC (as well as the 9 hole Par 3 course on the complex). From the moment you drive up, you are struck by the beauty of the iconic clubhouse overlooking the sprawling course. The clubhouse oozes of history and features a classic design, with an all-white...

I was fortunate enough to play Shinnecock for the 5th time recently, and the first time in 8 years.

It's truly perfect. Television doesn't give you a true picture of how demanding many of the shots are, particularly on the back nine. I am a 7 handicap and shot 40 on the front nine in pretty high winds (from the North, which is unusual), but the back is just so difficult with such small margins for...

Shinnecock is a very special experience that should be had by anyone with the opportunity.

The clubhouse is a magnificent, symmetrical piece of classic architecture with a straightline view through the front door to the course. The course itself is perfectly manicured without any forgiveness off the tee relative to most other links, tacking close to Muirfield in its use of the fescue. The...

Walking down the third fairway at Shinnecock, I happened to turn my gaze over to the right.

“What green is that?” I asked my caddy in staggered amazement. “The 7th” he replied. And that was my first introduction to the famous (or infamous depending on your point of view) 7th green at Shinnecock, an image that I hope I’ll never forget. It was a holy sh*t moment, thinking that can’t possibly...

I subscribe to the idea that nothing can be perfect, however I will say Shinnecock Hills comes as close to perfection as any experience I have ever had.

I have been lucky enough to have played Shinnecock roughly 50 times, and I will say the impression it has left on me will forever remain ingrained.It is a lifetime goal to someday be a member here, following my Grandfather who recently passed away and left me his Shinnecock Hills 1966 Club Champion ...

What an outstanding setting, course and facility.

The simplicity of the experience at Shinnecock may be one of its greatest attributes. It is simply all about the golf. I have played roughly 50 rounds at Shinnecock Hills and each one demanded a difference style of play. It is absolutely incredible how a course with no physical constraints can force...

Can be very challenging depending on wind direction. Turf is second to none and the hidden feel when playing the course, woven between the dunes and undulations provides a remote feeling. The greens roll well and very quick. hard to stop a ball on a dime.
