Golfing Magazine put together a Long Island Dream Golf Club in its Fall 2008 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 through February, 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.

"Golfers that can reach this green in two should be checked for steroids. As if the distance isn't enough, the hole plays straight uphill, making it more like a par-5. The namesake of the course sits just behind the green in the form of, you guessed it, a great rock. Bunkers protect the front right of the green, making it nearly impossible to run an approach shot up the hill. Bombers off the tee are the only ones who stand a chance on this bear of a hole."
