Plan a Mystery Golf Outing - Rent a Limo

Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service 

P: (631) 587-8500

Sick of the same old golf outing with the guys(or gals)?  Switch it up, plan a mystery golf excursion.  Our drivers will take you to the course of the event host’s choosing in one of our luxury vehicles.  Have the carefree golf adventure without the worry of fighting traffic and being late of tee times.

Not sure which course to choose? Luckily LI has countless to choose from! See below for some of these must play golf courses on the island:

Image Source: WEI Under Par

Bethpage Black Course - You’ve seen the best players in the world play it, now it’s your chance. Most US Open courses aren’t open to the public, but this one is and for a more than reasonable price! The last 4 holes consist of one of the best finishing stretches you’ll find anywhere. And then of course there’s the famous sign - proclaiming just how difficult the course is. More information here »

Bethpage Red Course - A great layout and always in good shape, if you’re making the trip to Bethpage State Park you can’t go wrong with either course. There is no more difficult opening hole on LI than here, an uphill 460-yard par-4 that even low handicappers struggle to reach in regulation. This one may not be as famed as its older sister, but it shouldn't be overlooked. More information here »

Montauk Downs State Park Golf Course - You can’t go wrong with booking your travel with us to get to this top course. Located at the furthest point east, this course is one of the most scenic, fun, and challenging courses there are. But trust us, the reward is worth the drive. More information here »

Tallgrass Country Club - One of the most aptly named courses, you’ll find thick fescue grasses around the layout. When the wind strikes, which happens often on the North Shore, some of the holes can be virtually unplayable. But very often, the back nine will play easier than the front nine. More information here »

Whether you are planning a mystery event, regular golf outing, or tournament - let us focus on driving you safely while you concentrate on your swing. From stretch Cadillac escalades to limo buses, we have a style to suit your party’s needs. Contact us today for more information and to view our availability.
