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 at the pristine Hamlet Willow Creek Golf Club will be tested with not one, but two water carries on this hole. Tee shots will need to avoid a sizable bunker on the left of the fairway, but that is the least of your worries. Even a second shot lay-up can be dicey, with water along the right of the fairway and bunkers to both the left and the right. Brave souls can attempt a heroic Tin Cup-like carry on their second shot, but like Kevin Costner, they will probably lose more than a few golf balls before succeeding."
