Bayonne is quite the creation. Built in 2006 in the New York harbor, based on thousands of truck loads of fill from the dredging operation in the harbor, it;'s really an amazing experience.

I played here a few years ago with my cousin and his son - that's him in deep trouble below right. I met the owner as well as the chief agronomist. Terrific guys and they did a fabulous job.
I love this bit on the website:
By invitation only, private memberships are available for those discerning few — whether they are Manhat-tan residents, or national or international visitors — who understand the unique privilege of retreating from the city to golf, while keeping it all in perfect view. While every effort has been made to satisfy all membership needs, Bayonne Golf Club is primarily a club for the passionate golfer who enjoys the time- less joy of playing golf on a windswept links.
I was fortunate enough to play again in October 2019, as a guest of Steve H, along with my colleague Rob S and his mate Pete all of whom are also members at Montclair in NJ. I really like this course; there are some very testing shots to make, and playing the blues (6712 yards) is quite the test. I was fortunate to play on a gorgeous day with no wind, hence a rather lucky 82. I’d like to think I could have been 5 better with more course knowledge. Highlight for me was a bird on 18 - uphill 429 yards - with my second hit to 3 feet.
