Review

“Rockaway Hunting is an old-school club tucked away in Southern Long Island. Extremely private, this course has some real character with a really unique layout winding through neighborhoods and then out on the water. The holes on the water are very interesting and memorable and the course is fantastic fun for all levels with firm, fast conditions and not too much length. I highly recommend playing if given the chance."

“Has some really excellent holes, especially out by the water. Also has two bizarre holes through the neighborhood. The journey in and out is fun and worth the visit."
