Local Area Guide

Championship Course at Links at Shirley, the Travel Guide

We built this guide so your team doesn't have to figure it all out from a Google search. Neighborhoods, restaurants, game day logistics, local tips — it's all here.

Welcome to the Championship Course at The Links at Shirley, a premier golf destination on Long Island. This guide is designed for players, coaches, and families preparing for a tournament or a dedicated golf outing, offering practical insights into navigating the course and its surroundings. You'll find essential information on arrival, on-site logistics, nearby dining options, and how to make the most of your golf experience, from tee time to the final putt.

Section 01

Neighborhood Overview

The Championship Course at The Links at Shirley is situated in the heart of Brookhaven Township on Long Island's eastern side. Its primary access point is William Floyd Parkway, a major north-south artery that connects to Sunrise Highway (NY-27) to the south and Middle Country Road (NY-25) to the north. These highways provide direct routes to and from the greater New York metropolitan area and other Long Island communities. For those arriving by air, Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) is the closest major facility, typically a 30-45 minute drive depending on traffic. John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA) are further west, with drive times often exceeding 1.5 hours. Public transportation options to Shirley are limited, making a personal vehicle or rideshare service the most convenient modes of transport. Parking is ample and specifically designated for golfers at the course entrance. To avoid potential traffic congestion, especially during peak hours or major events, arriving at least 45-60 minutes before your scheduled tee time is highly recommended.

Section 02

Where to Stay

The Links at Shirley is a standalone golf facility, meaning hotel accommodations are not immediately adjacent to the course itself. The nearest clusters of hotels can be found approximately 10-15 minutes west in areas like Centereach, Farmingville, and Medford, offering a range of chain hotels and motels. These areas cater to business travelers and tourists visiting Long Island's eastern regions. For tournament participants and their families, booking accommodations in these nearby towns is the most practical approach. Demand for hotels can spike significantly during major golf tournaments or large community events held at the course, so booking well in advance is crucial. When searching for lodging, utilizing map filters to identify properties within a 10-mile radius of the course will help narrow down options. Consider looking for hotels that offer amenities such as free breakfast and Wi-Fi, which can be beneficial for groups and families.

Round Day Flow

Check-In & Warm-Up

Begin your game day by arriving at The Links at Shirley at least 45-60 minutes prior to your scheduled tee time. This buffer allows ample time for check-in at the pro shop, settling any outstanding fees, and securing your range balls. Familiarize yourself with the course layout and locate the practice putting green and driving range. Use this time to stretch, hit a bucket of balls, and get a feel for the conditions. If you're part of a team, coordinate with your coach or captain to ensure everyone is accounted for and ready for the pre-round briefing.

Mid-Day Regroup

As you move through your round, identify strategic spots for brief regrouping between nines or during designated breaks. The clubhouse area provides a central hub for refreshments and a quick bite, especially if you have a longer gap between rounds or a special event. Utilize the patio seating for a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing players and families to discuss strategies or simply unwind for a moment. Hydration and nutrition are key; ensure everyone is taking advantage of the available concessions or pre-packed snacks to maintain energy levels throughout the day.

Wrap-Up & Departure

After completing your final hole, the post-game flow typically involves returning your rented equipment and heading to the clubhouse for scoring and post-round analysis. The clubhouse restaurant and bar are popular spots for players and spectators to gather, share stories from the course, and enjoy a meal or drink. Allow time for any scheduled awards ceremonies or team photos. When it’s time to depart, be mindful of potential traffic on William Floyd Parkway, particularly if leaving during peak evening hours. Coordinate rideshare pickups away from the immediate main entrance to ensure a smoother exit.
