The Hamptons can be a bit confusing to the newly acquainted. It consists of only two Townships, Southampton and East Hampton, which make up Suffolk County, New York.

But the entirety of the Hamptons is much more than that. Several small towns are found throughout the Hamptons area, all unique and charming. Intertwined between them are high-end shops of all kinds. Boutique grocery stores, butcher shops, bakeries, historical sites, sprawling beaches, and endless leisurely recreation define this coastal paradise.

This infamous oceanside resort is a perfect enclave for the affluent homeowner and prolific New York City weekender to live or enjoy their vacation property and hit the beach or the links.

Heading out on the Island, you will find popular places to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city. From west to east, you will discover Remsenburg, Westhampton, West Hampton Dunes, Westhampton Beach Quogue, and East Quogue, to name a few. There are a handful more along the way to the furthest point of Montauk, and the entire area is ripe with some of the best golfing in the state.

Here you will find top-rated public courses to dust off the old irons and enjoy the wide-open fairways and iconic colonial backdrops while refining your swing. It’s likely no secret that many of the islands' courses, especially in the Hamptons, are some of the finest this country has to offer. Not only are they highly ranked based on local testimony, but pros and other tycoons of every kind also frequent them. Several have even made Golf Digest’s Top 100 list somewhere along the way.

Membership certainly has its privileges on the East end, but that privilege can come with a significant waiting period. Here's a shortlist of the top public courses you should be sure to visit, whether you’re a member or not.

Situated in the Pine Barrens region, this course is delicately tucked away in what is practically a nature preserve. The luscious fairways and greens are surrounded by stunning, tall pines that guide you through the 165 acres and over 7,000 yards of the majestic playing area.

Beyond the golf, this well-maintained public course gives players the private country club feel. Wheel and deal by booking a private corporate outing or taking friends and family on a relaxing excursion. Take a private lesson with a pro or practice all year long with their chipping area and putting green. There is also a full bar and restaurant open to the public. This #1-voted golf course by GOLFNOW is sure to please.

 

This is a fabulous venue to get out on the grass without fuss and have an enjoyable golfing experience.

The Rock Hill Golf Club is another beautifully curated public course located in Manorville. Like Pine Hills, this club is famous for group outings and tournaments. There are shotgun outings and first tee events where tee times can be booked by groups of 16 people or more for personalized tournament-style play with co-workers or other types of parties. Rock Hill also comes equipped with a high-end golf shop, driving range, and a teaching studio. There is also a restaurant available with full catering service. It’s fabulous for accommodating large groups but also pampers small parties and individuals.

 

A top-tier instructor runs the golf academy on the premises, and he is ranked as one of America's top 50 golf teachers. Whether you are an experienced player or venturing out to try a new sport for the first time, Rock Hill welcomes all. The course is entirely open to the public, and anyone can pay a nominal fee to set up a tee time. For those who may find themselves frequenting this course on a more regular basis, Rock Hill offers a variety of membership packages.
