Overview
Located on the edges of Shinnecock Hills and the National Golf Links of America is a Seth Raynor-designed gem at Southampton Golf Club. Originally opened in 1925, the course was renovated first by William F. Mitchell in 1967 and then by Brian Silva in 2004. Silva’s renovation saw the course return to its original Raynor character with trees removed and bunkers redone. Open driving areas are protected by challenging cross bunkers, while greens are guarded by flowing creeks that snake alongside holes offering dramatic risk-reward opportunities. The course is full of the original Raynor character, with perhaps the best example coming at the par-4 6th known as Raynor’s dogleg with a nearly blind tee shot that borders Shinnecock Hills.

“The greens are the star of the show on this relatively short Raynor design that features lots of his templates. A classic layout that - despite being in the shadows of National Golf Links and Shinnecock Hills - holds its own and is a pleasure to play."

“Southampton GC is overshadowed by its great neighbors, Shinnecock Hills and National Golf Links, so is underrated, I feel. It is a classic Seth Raynor design with steep-faced bunkers and several fine replica holes. Shot Options are the strongest aspect of the course. Golfers are forced to play a wide variety of shots, and the course is quite difficult."

“Classic Seth Raynor design with all of the template holes. Next door to Shinnecock and National. It’s a fun course to play if you get a chance."
