In addition to the great views, the course plays over a variety of terrain comprising of both park and links land settings. The ever-shifting shore breeze guarantees a stern test and a round that never quite plays the same way twice.
Timber Point, rich in history was originally an 18 hole golf course designed by the well-respected architectural team of Colt & Alison. The club was built and formed in the roaring twenties along with other prominent estates that were constructed along the south shore during that time. The original mansion now serves as the clubhouse and still over looks the 231-acre property much the same way it did for club founders, Horace Havermeyer, Buell Hollister and Kingsland Macy.
Suffolk County which now owns the course recently completed a multi-million dollar renovation in 2003. Improvements included a new irrigation system, tee and bunker restoration, and the raising of some fairways along with the construction of a sea wall to alleviate drainage problems. These upgrades make a local golfing favorite even more popular. The club also runs and active outing schedule and annually plays host to a variety of area golf association events. The course is open to the public and open most of the year so be sure to add it to your list of must play courses.
