Host Venue

Baiting Hollow Golf Club

Built on the bluffs of the Long Island Sound, Baiting Hollow Club’s course has become known for its beautiful vistas, undulating terrain, and many elevated tees and greens. Extraordinary management of turf and soil infrastructure has resulted in beautifully manicured fairways and greens that consistently rival any in the country.

The course was recently restored and re-routed in conjunction with construction of the new clubhouse, presenting a difficult but fair challenge to golfers of all levels. Baiting Hollow has hosted the 2006 New York State Open qualifier, the 2002 and 2013 U.S. Open qualifiers, the 2001 Met Open, the 2000 U.S. Amateur qualifier, the 1999 Long Island PGA Championship, and the 1998 Met Open qualifier.

Address: 100 Club Dr, Calverton, NY 11933-1242
