Fishers Island Club: located on a small island off the Connecticut coast, this very private and exclusive Club is home to a revered Seth Raynor layout. Found near the top of most prestigious golf course ranking lists, this out-and-back design rolls along with all the character and style of a classic seaside links.
Every hole here, except the tree-lined par-5 6th, either starts or finishes right beside the seashore. The sea views are captivating and ever-present. The course itself feels invitingly open, and in true Raynor style, the bunkering is both bold and plentiful, especially around the greens. If given the chance to play here, the best advice would seem to be grab it with both hands!
Limited access: this private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.
