Montauk Downs State Park is best known for its Robert Trent Jones-designed, championship-length, 18-hole golf course. In addition, the park offers a driving range, six championship tennis courts, a main swimming pool and a wading pool for children, as well as a beautiful catering facility, a clubhouse and a grill room serving breakfast and lunch.
