HAMPTON HILLS GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling potato fields of eastern Long Island provide an unexpectedly dramatic canvas for this Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, where elevation changes of 80 feet create genuine strategic interest on what could have been mundane farmland. The par-4 12th hole exemplifies Jones' genius—a dogleg right that plunges 40 feet from tee to green, demanding precise club selection on an approach that plays two clubs less than the yardage suggests. Members here enjoy one of the few courses on the East End where topography, not just coastal winds, dictates shot-making.
