An American course shaped by British golf
The Club occupies a 253-acre property beside Peconic Bay in Southampton. Its eighteen-hole course was constructed with the assistance of local engineer Seth Raynor, tying the National’s beginning to the partnership that helped spread these architectural ideas.
