Glen Cove is a very scenic course that’s difficult but fair. This 18-hole executive course is located on the Gold Coast of Long Island and overlooks the Long Island Sound. The course backs onto the beach, and you’ll find especially nice views on the front 9. The course starts off tough - #1 is the signature hole at 478 yards. You’ll encounter a blind shot that doglegs to the right, with three greenside sand traps and the pond to the left. There’s a blue and a red tee to accommodate different skill levels, but keep in mind, the difficulty of this course is above average. A few other holes to watch out for - hole #7 (400 yards from the blue tee) is a blind shot with a sharp dogleg to the left. Hole #14 (242 yards) has a very tight fairway and has dense trees on both sides, although it’s fairly straight. The main challenges you’ll find on this course are narrow fairways and small to medium sized sand bunkers. Hole #2 is the most scenic as it backs onto the beach and ocean. It’s a straight shot and one of the wider fairways on the course. The main challenge is to prevent losing the ball if you hit over the back of the green. The overall experience at this course is very good. Pace of play is better than average - an 18 hole round takes about 4 hours. The restaurant has been fully updated and there is even a tiki bar. Staff are friendly and professional. If you’re looking for a fun, challenging and scenic course that offers a great overall experience, then visit Glen Cove golf club.
Sunday, August 21, 2011Had the good fortune of playing this pictureque scenic coarse on Long Island sound. The coarse is an executive 18 hole par 67 layout with relatively short hole and tight fairways. The #2 hole was my favorite hole with the tee shot facing Long Island sound. This would be a good test of golf in the fall with the winds.
