Golfing Magazine published its annual Long Island Dream Golf Club earlier this Fall, and after only six public holes cracked the layout in 2010, this year's all-star 18 is split down the middle with nine public and nine private golf holes from across the Island. Every season, Golfing Mag editors highlight some of the best holes in Nassau and Suffolk, plus the finest clubhouse, restaurant, pro shop and practice facility. The 2011 Dream Club is a 6,954-yard par-72 with public holes along both shores (Glen Cove on the north, Bergen Point down south), and others featuring water carries over namesake hazards (Spring Lake) and stadium greens surrounded by tall grass (at, uh, Tallgrass).
Beginning next week and continuing through the winter, Golf On Long Island will feature each of the Dream Club's nine public holes along with Golfing Magazine's commentary. Long Island's top regional golf magazine is published five times a year and can be found at most Long Island courses and golf retail outlets, and is also available by subscription. Check out the magazine's Free Golf Program, which includes a certificate for free green fees at area courses beginning in April and a one-year magazine subscription.
You can also review the 2008 Dream Golf Club, 2009 Dream Golf Club and 2010 Dream Golf Club for more information on some of the Island's other fantastic public golf holes.
