I concur with much that is being said here. A fun course and one that doesn't get a lot of talk for what it is. The people running it now have done a good job in maintaining it too. And with that, some images when Dr. Childs, NAFFER and Adam Jessie and I played there last. (I've been there three times and would always go back for more)
I feel that Gil went with a more CB Mac (not so much Raynor) feel for some of the holes on the course, and it works in my opinion. Nothing ground shaking as far as a rating, but good enough to get the job done on a July afternoon on Long Island.
I'll let some of the others describe the scenes, because I'm tired and I'm going to go to bed!
3rd Green
The Nader 8th. Other then the unfortunate placing of the cart path, an excellent reverse Redan. There was simply no other place to take the path I'm told.
The Approach into the 9th with the clubhouse in the background.
The 10th
Left greenside bunker on the 10th.
From the tee of the 12th
The 14th--one of the best modern Short Holes I've ever played. A pretty modified horse shoe on this one too. We stayed on there and putted around it for a good five or ten minutes. One of the best greens on the course.
