AMAGANSETT GOLF CLUB

The ocean winds off the Atlantic sweep across this Hampton's gem with unforgiving consistency, turning what appears to be a straightforward links-style layout into a masterclass in coastal golf strategy. The fescue-lined fairways demand precision over power, while the elevated greens—particularly the stunning par-3 16th that plays directly toward the dunes—reward those who can read the coastal breezes. This is pure seaside golf without the Hamptons pretense, where a well-struck 7-iron often trumps the hero swing.
