The Bergen Point Golf Course in West Babylon is one of four 18-hole courses — all on or near the major water bodies of eastern Long Island — operated by Suffolk County.
Creeks and inlets weave through the Bergen Point layout and join forces with relentless bay winds to form the strongest line of defense against low scores at this 6,722-yard par-71 (6,354 from the middle blues, 6,096 from the golds). Beginners will enjoy the generous amounts of space; skilled players can test their mettle on challenging par-4s into the wind. Small trees are scattered around the property and have limited effect on play. Most holes feature a fairway bunker and one or two small traps around the green. It is a basic layout suitable for all types of players, as long as aesthetic expectations are kept on the low side.
