Harbor Links, Port Washington, NY

Tuesday August 23, 2011
Played an Audobon style links coarse which reminded me of a similar coarse in Boston called Granite Links. From the back tees, this was a challenging coarse. You need to keep the ball out of the fescue. I was 60 yards away from the green in two on the par 5 6th hole and ended up with a triple. It took me 4 shots to get out of the high stuff! Most of the holes have elevated tee boxes, with some with split fairways. You can take the longer safer route or go for it on the shorter side. The coarse has a Scottish feel, and it is of championship caliber. The par 3 8th hole plays longer than it looks, and stay away from the left side. I believe playing this coarse a few times makes frequent playing and easier track.
