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.

"There may not be a better view on Long Island than the one golfers enjoy from the 16th tee box at Island's End as the sun sets on an afternoon round. The waters of Long Island Sound stretch infinitely to the horizon, and on a clear day, you can even see Connecticut. The hole is influenced by a constant crosswind, and it plays even more difficult when the pin is placed in the back of the extremely deep green."
