Lido Golf Club
Lido Beach, NY
A windswept Town of Hempstead muni sitting on the barrier island between Reynolds Channel and the Atlantic, on ground haunted by the legendary original Lido course that C.B. Macdonald built a century ago. When the sea breeze kicks up in the afternoon it plays like real links golf, ocean smell included.
LOCAL TIP
The town knocked 50 percent off green fees while renovations run through 2026, which makes seaside golf here one of the best deals on the Island if you can tolerate some construction.
