Tucked between National Golf Links and Shinnecock Hills, Sebonack sits on one of the most extraordinary pieces of golf land in America. Built along the Great Peconic Bay, the course feels less manufactured and more discovered, with massive rolling fairways, wind exposed greensites, and water views that follow you throughout the property.

Designed collaboratively by Jack Nicklaus and Tom Doak, Sebonack blends strategic modern architecture with old world links characteristics. It is rare to see two architects with such different philosophies work together this seamlessly. The result is a course that can play brutally difficult in the wind yet remains endlessly fun and visually stunning.

What separates Sebonack is the scale and movement of the property. Greens appear to melt into the surrounding contours. Fairways twist naturally through the dunes and along the bay. Depending on wind direction and setup, the course can feel entirely different from one day to the next. It rewards creativity and imagination as much as execution.

The club has already hosted the U.S. Women's Open, but despite its pedigree, Sebonack still carries an understated feel compared to many of its neighboring clubs. There is a quiet confidence to the place. Nothing feels forced. No unnecessary flash. Just world-class golf on one of the great natural sites in the game.

For our group, Sebonack represents exactly the type of experience The Societee values most: architecture with soul, meaningful time together, and a setting that naturally slows conversations down in the best possible way. The property is visually breathtaking, but the real magic is how intimate the experience feels despite the scale of the land around you.

Few clubs in America combine modern championship architecture, classic links atmosphere, and waterfront beauty quite like Sebonack. It is not simply one of the great modern courses. It is already one of the great golf experiences in the world.
