Fishers Island Club
Fishers Island, New York

Accessible only by ferry, this summer resort island off Connecticut is populated by the oldest of the old money crowd and is almost as difficult to get to as it is to join. Architect Tom Doak said, "I cannot deny that on a breezy summer's day, Fishers Island is one of the most idyllic places possible for a round of golf." No doubt the ambience is enhanced by the paucity of players roaming its Seth Raynor-designed fairways.
