Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point

The turf is firm and undulating. The wind is howling off the ocean. Fescue-covered mounds dot the fairways. On Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point, there are times when you think you're on the coast of Ireland. However, you recall that you're blasting automobiles on an old garbage dumping field in the Bronx when you glance up and see the Whitestone Bridge and the stunning New York City skyline.

This Jack Nicklaus masterpiece, dubbed "The Chambers Bay of the East" by some, is one of golf's great reclamation efforts and the first course completed in New York City since the 1960s. The wait was really worth it. (Nicklaus Design and GOLF.com are 8 AM Golf affiliates.)
