Tucked along the scenic North Shore of Long Island, Harbor Links Golf Course in Port Washington offers more than just a round of golf—it’s a story of transformation, thoughtful design, and one of Nassau County’s most unique public golf experiences.
Built on the site of a former sand mine, Harbor Links has been reimagined as a championship course with links-inspired design, dramatic elevation changes, natural landscapes, and challenging play for golfers of all skill levels. Designed by acclaimed golf course architect Dr. Michael Hurdzan, the 18-hole championship course blends strategy, scenery, and sustainability into an unforgettable day on the greens.
Whether you’re a seasoned golfer looking to test your game or planning a relaxing day outdoors, Harbor Links delivers a golf experience unlike anywhere else on Long Island.
A Course Designed Around the Landscape
One of the most distinctive features of Harbor Links is the way the course works with the land around it.
Rather than covering up its past, the design embraces the property’s unique terrain. Rolling fairways, elevation changes, carefully placed hazards, and scenic views create a course that challenges players to think strategically from the first tee to the final green.
The links-inspired layout rewards creativity and smart decision-making. Golfers will find a variety of memorable holes that require accuracy, patience, and a willingness to adapt, making every round feel like a new experience.

Every great course has moments that stay with you long after your final putt, and Harbor Links is no exception.
Throughout the championship course, golfers can experience:
- Elevated tee shots with scenic views
- Challenging bunkers that reward strategic play
- Rolling fairways shaped by the property’s reclaimed landscape
- Beautifully maintained greens
- A layout that is enjoyable for golfers of varying skill levels
From your opening drive to your walk up the 18th hole, Harbor Links captures the beauty and character that make golf on Long Island special.
