National Golf Links of America is a prestigious links-style golf course in Southampton, New York, located on Long Island between Shinnecock Hills Golf Club and Peconic Bay. Though the course is noted for hosting the initial Walker Cup in 1922, which the United States won 8 and 4, it has never hosted a major men's championship.[1] The Walker Cup was again held at the National in 2013.[2] The private club has been called "America's snootiest golf course" due to its exclusive nature.[3]
