RIP Calverton DGC in Calverton, NY.
It was 1 of only 3 courses on the entirety of Long Island, and a pretty decent one at that.
Set on a former ball golf course it featured water in play, elevation, woods, and variety in shots required as well as distance.
It was a little out of my play grade, and I only got to play it twice (in '16 and '18), but every time I made it there I would gladly fork over the fee and enjoy myself. It was a long, challenging course for a professional-recreational player like me, on par with Heckscher State Park and light years ahead of Cedar Beach DGC; meaning that now, while LI has 2 courses, it really only has 1 decent one, IMO.
Here's to you, Calverton. *pours some Colt 45 from a 40 oz. onto ground*
Hopefully some enterprising lunatic will come up with a new course somewhere on that god forsaken island soon.
Good night, sweet prince.
