Huntington Country Club -- *Hidden gem*
Review by: Robert W. Meagher	This course is one of the hidden gems on Long Island. If you have ever played in Ireland, you will get flashbacks. Being a member for 20+ years and having caddied there prior to that, I have seen many changes and all for the better. The fact that the course "seems" wide open is a lessen unto itself. The tall grass that surrounds the holes is a true one shot penalty. In June through October, if you hit into the tall fescue, simply turn 90 degrees and pray to get out on the fairway. Rarely can you club up and reach the green. If you are lucky enough to reach the green, good luck holding it. The greens at HCC are small hard and FAST (11+ on the stimp is not uncommon). If you are looking to take lessons, Jimmy Smoot the PGA pro at Huntington is an excellent teacher who will improve your game whether you are a 1 or a 30 handicap.

Beaver Meadows Golf & Recreation -- *TOUGH*
Review by: Slim	While not getting much respect in the cny area, Beaver meadows is one of the toughest tests around. Anyone who can score 75 or better from the blues there with regularity is a solid player. When the place is in good shape, it rivals any other course in the area. (excluding the casino courses) A few summers played here would improve anyones game.
