WILLOW CREEK GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB - NY

The rolling terrain of Long Island's North Shore provides an ideal canvas for this Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, where elevation changes and mature oak groves frame nearly every shot. The signature par-3 14th plays downhill to a green guarded by Willow Creek itself, demanding precise iron play over the meandering water hazard. What separates this track from the typical Long Island daily-fee experience is Jones's strategic use of the natural topography—you'll face sidehill lies and blind approach shots that reward course management over pure distance.
