Tom MacWood’s research has uncovered this quote from Wilfred H. Follett, the Editor of Golf Illustrated and future partner of Devereux Emmet. Follett wrote on the eve of the 1919 PGA, ‘As regards the course of the Engineers’ Club, it is doubtful if any more testing links could have been chosen.
Engineers Country Club is fabled for the quality of its greens, which in 1920 were summed up by one sports columnist: “The main nerve test will be on the greens. You will find strong men weeping as they finish a round.” Nothing has changed very much since then. If you can master the putting surfaces at the Engineers Club then you may card a great score.

The 12th is also a dogleg to the right and arguably the best medium length par 4 on Long Island. At just under 400 yards, you must keep your tee shot on the left side of the fairway to have an angle that works for this green that slopes hard from right to left (the opposite direction of the approach shot angle). Missing this green to the right leaves a lightening quick pitch that is nearly impossible to stop. Missing left and you could have a lost ball in the woods. The green is more than ample but unless you keep your approach shot left and below the pin, every putt on this green is quite challenging.
The par 4 13th is a slight dogleg left that is about 470 yards from the back tees. It’s a very challenging hole that has ruined many rounds.
Just a few awkward holes is all that keeps Engineers from being top 15 in the state.
It should be noted that Devereux Emmet remodeled part of Engineers in 1921 which did soften the course. Five other architects have also been involved in changing Engineers or partially restoring it, most recently
