East Hampton showcases a distinctive Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw layout spread across just over 120 acres. The opening seven holes traverse firm, fescue-framed ground with a links-like feel, before the course shifts on holes eight through 18 into more wooded, rolling terrain. On the back nine, broad waste areas evoke the sandy character of Pinehurst—especially around the 12th and 13th holes, a nod to Coore’s North Carolina roots. Hole lengths, angles, and bunker placement provide plenty of strategic variety, often offering multiple options from tee to green. Tucked away and rarely in the spotlight due to its secluded setting and exclusivity, East Hampton remains an under-the-radar gem with a clever and highly enjoyable routing.
