Golfing Magazine put together a Long Island Dream Golf Club in its recent Fall issue, a collection of the area's finest 18 holes and its top off-course facilities. Made up of ten private and eight public holes from as far west as Garden City and Great Neck, and as far east as Montauk and Greenport, the Dream Golf Club is a 6,881-yard monster from the tips that ends with the Island's only par-6.
Every Monday for the next ten weeks, GolfOnLongIsland.com will feature commentary from Golfing Magazine editor Terrence Jordan on the holes on the public side of the Long Island Dream Golf Club, with accompanying photos by Jim Krajicek and Brian Elder.

"This long par-5 is a testament to how bunkers can change a golf hole. It is imperative that the tee shot stays right to avoid a partially concealed fairway bunker, while the second shot must travel uphill to the second portion of the fairway by carrying another enormous sandy hazard. The approach shot is better struck from the right side of the fairway, but the farther one goes to the right, the greater the risk is of landing in the aforementioned bunker. Even more expertly placed bunkers guard the green against all but the best shots."
