Built on the bluffs of the Long Island Sound, the course is known for its beautiful vistas, featuring many elevated tees and greens.  Extraordinary management of turf and soil infrastructure has resulted in manicured greens and fairways which offer the luxury of playing under the best conditions.  
 
The course is being restored and will measure 6,850 from the back tees, and play to a par of 70 with a likely slope rating of 135 presenting a difficult, but fair challenge to golfers of all levels.  Three other sets of tees test golfers with total yardages that range from 5,500 to 6,450.

The course has hosted many outstanding tournaments.  Some of these include the 2006 New York State Open qualifier, the 2002 U.S. Open qualifier, the 2001 Met Open, the 2000 U.S. Amateur qualifier, the 1999 Long Island PGA Championship, the 1998 Met Open qualifier, and the 1996 Ike qualifier.
