Situated on the scenic banks of Southport Harbor, this course is in excellent condition. If you miss these open fairways, deep rough will make approach shots to these sloping greens even more difficult. Once on the green, watch the speed as downhill putts can get away from you, and strokes can add up on these quick greens.

These two sights represent freedom for millions of people, and the Statue of Liberty, a 450,000 pound gift from the people of France, is a must-see for anyone visiting the Big Apple. Access to the islands is via a Circle Lines ferry, and a (free) timed pass is required. Ranger-led tours detail the history and technical aspects of the statue. Inside the base of Lady Liberty you'll find a number of exhibits and concessions, and from the observation deck the city and harbor views are unbeatable. Circle Lines recommends that guests arrive at least two hours in advance of their scheduled departure time. Reservations are essential – call 866-882-8834 or visit www.statuereservations.com.

MEATPACKING DISTRICT. Before visiting the World Trade Center site, people wanting to learn more about 2001's 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York should stop by this unique museum, billed as the "The Biggest Little Museum in New York." Indeed, the museum tells the story of tragedy, shock and recovery via real World Trade Center artifacts, audio clips and fascinatingly poignant photography of Gary Marlon Suson, the official Ground Zero photographer of the Uniformed Firefighters Association. NB Closed on Wednesdays.

MIDTOWN WEST. New York City is home to many of the world's major music, television and film productions, and a good number of stars call NY home. Many tourists visit hoping for a brief street-side encounter with their favorite celeb, but this may not be the most effective way of touching the hem of stardom. Several of the most popular shows are taped at NBC Studios, including "Saturday Night Live," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien". The popular "Today" show with hosts Meredith Vieira and Matt Lauer, broadcasts live weekdays from 7am to 9am from its glass-walled studio on the corner of 49th Street and Rockefeller Plaza. Hour-long studio tours are also offered – the first stop is the NBC History Theatre. TRAIN: B,D,F,N,V,W,R,1

MIDTOWN EAST. Said to be "Manhattan's only remaining great gateway," Grand Central Terminal (not "station" as it is so often mistakenly called) is a magnificent example of art meeting functionality. Visible on the south side of 42nd Street is a grand beaux arts façade with three high arched windows separated by pairs of fluted columns. At the top is a beautiful clock and crowning sculpture of Transportation (Minerva, Mercury and Hercules statues). Inside the terminal, gold and nickel plated chandeliers hang from light blue ceilings covered with celestial mapping that displays the zodiac constellations (major stars even glow with fiber optic lighting). A new marble staircase on the east end of the main concourse was modeled after the Garnier stair at the Paris Opera. Sixty integrated railroad tracks act as a transport hub for over 500,000 people daily, including commuters from Connecticut and New Jersey. The lower level offers dining and retail shops. In addition to the travel concourse, Vanderbilt Hall is a part of the terminal and makes 12,000 square feet of space available for special events. Arts for Transit, a unique program hosted by the New York Transit Department, encourages the placement of art and musical performance in public transportation areas. Free public tours are given on Wednesdays & Fridays at 12:30pm.

Although this course is relatively flat, several of the tees are elevated. Featuring several dogleg holes and tight fairways, further trouble is presented with a number of fairway bunkers in some landing areas. The fast greens on this course are oversized and extremely undulated. Water comes into play periodically, but it isn't the main challenge golfers will face.
