Piping Rock
Piping Rock Club: after the completion of his revered design at National Golf Links of America, Charles Blair Macdonald turned his attentions to a new commission on Long Island, the Piping Rock Club. Here he laced the design with various interpretations of his favourite design concepts, including a Redan green and a Road Hole based on the 17th at St Andrews.
It was here at Piping Rock that Macdonald first introduced what has become his most imitated hole, the Biarritz. The par-3 8th at Piping Rock, boasts a green that's 60-yards-deep, bisected by a 6-foot-deep trench. A private club, exclusively for the use of members and their invited guests.
Private club; visitors/guests may only play if hosted by a member.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
