Golfing Magazine recently announced its 2010 Long Island Dream Golf Club, this season's collection of the Island's finest 18 holes and top off-course facilities. The club's six public golf holes can all be found on the front nine of this 6,636-yard par-71.
Every Monday through the winter, Golf On Long Island will feature one public hole from the Dream Golf Club along with commentary from Golfing Magazine editors. Photographs and additional commentary are provided by Golf On Long Island where available. To view the 2010 Dream Club's 18-hole lineup, re-visit the original post here.

GOLFING MAGAZINE'S 2010 DREAM GOLF CLUB
HARBOR LINKS -- HOLE #4
401 / 367 / 297 yards
Designed by Michael Hurdzan
"A blocked view from the tee makes it difficult, at best, to find a good landing spot on this hole. A draw is encouraged for this dogleg left, leaving yourself room for a bailout, with a large water hazard tightly guarding the left side of the fairway. Approach shots need to be accurate to hit this medium-sized green in two. Short and right of the green leaves the best chance to get the ball up and down for par. Subtle breaks throughout this green can lead to 3-putts for even the savviest short-game players."
Golf On Long Island first covered Harbor Links in July 2009:
"Players begin to get a preview of what's in store on #2, a 404-yard dogleg titled "Hidden Instinct," where all approaches from the right side must be made without a look at the green or pin. Drives to the left side are rewarded with an unobstructed look at the elevated green. After a downhill par-3, players battle another blocked view from the tee on the 367-yard fourth, a left dogleg offering a very limited view of the fairway. Inside the turn is a large water hazard."

Thanks for golf links!
