Shinnecock Hills and American golf
Shinnecock Hills, New York

One of the five clubs that founded American golf's governing body, laid out on treeless glacial hills that look more like Scotland than anything else on the coast. Shinnecock labourers built the course on their own ancestral ground. It held the second U.S. Open ever played, in 1896, and still holds them, the layout barely changed, the wind doing the defending.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
