Long Island National Golf Club

Overview: Long Island National is a private Robert Trent Jones Jr. course in Riverhead, New York, set on open North Fork land. Fescue, wind, wide views, and expansive bunkering create a links-influenced par-71 test where trajectory and placement matter as much as distance. The course measures about 6,900 yards from the back tees.

History: Long Island National was developed on land that had been used as a potato farm and opened in 1999. It is identified in professional and course records as an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. design, notable because Jones grew up in New York and this is his only design in the state.

Did You Know? The course was planned on the North Fork away from Long Island’s older western golf clusters. Its open agricultural setting gives the routing room for wind and ground movement, while the fescue and bunkers supply the visual language of a modern links course.
