Spring Lake (Thunderbird)

Charles K. Martin, who died during 2016 at age 94, has often been forgotten for his work in building and designing golf courses on Long Island. According to a 2010 Newsday article, Martin is the “forgotten man of Long Island golf design and construction” and yet his mark can still be found on a number of Long Island’s courses, most notably here at Spring Lake Golf Club.

Although the course will not be in running to replace Bethpage or its signature golf courses as the premiere public golf destination on the island, the Thunderbird's 7,000-plus yard measure will provide plenty of test for the average player.
