4 miles to Shinnecock via back roads; salt water pool, fireplace; 3 bd 2.5 bth

Shinnecock Golf Course is less than 4 miles by back roads (avoid the deplorable traffic on Montauk Highway); high ceilings and lots of windows make this ranch style home a bright and relaxing escape. The large salt water pool (44x18) and commodious deck encourage outdoors living, very private acre at the end of the road - but if you want the chic glamour of the Hamptons, the village is 4 miles away, and the ocean is 5 miles - an easy bike ride. Laundry facilities and a powder room are off of the sunny kitchen, with a large island that facilitates entertaining, plenty of dishes and glassware. The Dining room is off or the kitchen and living room, with the Weber grill just outside. The Living room boasts a baby grand piano, fireplace, game table and comfortable seating. Each bedroom sleeps 2, the house is nicely appointed; hall bathroom for the two guest rooms, ensuite bath w jacuzzi for principal suite.
I only host during the Golf Open and reviews from the Open in 2013 are archived and not available. My guests enjoyed fresh eggs from my son's chickens, fresh fish he caught that day, at no cost, simply for the fun of hosting. I hosted a Podiatrist from Philly, 2 lawyers from Seattle and a volunteer from Brazil, it was enjoyable and convenient, If you choose to stay in the Village or near Noyac Road, it could take an hour to get 4 miles but my home avoids these bottlenecks. Last time Tiger got caught in Noyac road traffic from his yacht in Sag Harbor and couldn't warm up and performed poorly. From my home, you take Big Fresh Pond Rd to Millstone Brook to Barkers Island Rd which ends at the club.
