« on: April 20, 2017, 11:07:40 AM »
In the most recent issue of The Met Golfer, Hank Gola writes about St. George's Golf & Country Club and their aggressive tree-removal project that revealed the genius of Devereux Emmet's design on Long Island.

I first started looking into Emmett after listening to Mark Chalfant's nice presentation at a barn burner in PA a few winters back.  I am really surprised St George's doesn't get more recognition on this board.  We are suppose to be a site that focuses on bootlegs.

I find it interesting that although NGLA was the gold standard of the era that more efforts did not include a parcel of land anywhere near as large. At 250 acres NGLA dwarfs St. George's which sits on 150 acres. That said St. George's is a wonderful mix of holes on an interesting piece of land that just exudes fun. So many quirky design features and options make it an absolute blast to play and the panoramic views out over the golf course from the back deck of the clubhouse are sensational.

Looking a Joe's pix (thanks Joe), St.G G & CC has a lot of bunkers behind greens.


The course looks to be very interesting. How has it stayed off the radar screen for so long? Trees?

After reading Ran's profile on Eastward Ho!, I made it my life's work to gain access to that wondrous, Cape Cod course. I was fortunate to do so.


After reading Ran's profile on San Jorge Isla Larga (http://golfclubatlas.com/courses-by-country/usa/st-georges-golf-country-club/) this is the next course to make that list. Haven't been back to LI since I read it.


If you have college friends who live on LI, you should rekindle those friendships, to have a place to stay. More good golf on that spit of land than lord knows anywhere else.
Coming in 2024
~Elmira Country Club
~Soaring Eagles
~Bonavista
~Indian Hills
~Maybe some more!!
