Shinnecock Hills Paintings and Prints
One of the USGA's founding clubs, on the windswept hills of eastern Long Island.
Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, in Southampton at the eastern end of Long Island, was founded in 1891 and was one of the five clubs that formed the United States Golf Association in 1894. Its clubhouse, designed by Stanford White of McKim, Mead & White and opened in 1892, is considered the oldest golf clubhouse in the country. The present course is largely William Flynn's design of 1931, and Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw restored it in the 2010s.
The land looks closer to a British links than almost anything else in American championship golf: rolling, sandy hills covered with fescue and native grasses, with few trees and constant wind off the ocean and Peconic Bay. The wind can reverse the course from one day to the next, and the firm, sloping greens make recovery difficult. The 9th climbs to a green below the clubhouse, and the 16th, a par 5, bends through bunkers across the hills.
Shinnecock has hosted the U.S. Open six times, in 1896, 1986, 1995, 2004, 2018 and 2026, and the USGA plans to return in 2036, 140 years after the first. It also hosted the 1896 U.S. Amateur and the 1977 Walker Cup.
Its modern U.S. Open champions include Raymond Floyd in 1986, Corey Pavin in 1995, Retief Goosen in 2004 and Brooks Koepka in 2018.
Linda Hartough's Shinnecock paintings mark two of its Opens: the 16th from 1995 and the 9th from 2004.
The collection holds 3 Shinnecock Hills prints, available as canvas giclées and prints on fine art paper, in limited editions and artist proofs, in sizes from 12"x20" to 21"x36".
