Great news too - that the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club is served by the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). While the permanent Southampton station is the closest regular stop (approximately 3 miles away), a temporary train platform is constructed directly adjacent to the course for major events like the 2026 U.S. Open
