Friar's Head

Friar’s Head sits on the North Fork, a quiet stretch known for farmland and water views. A private golf course with a full menu, this place blends sport and sustenance without fanfare. Players can work on their drives between bites, while others linger at tables with iced teas and sandwiches.

The grounds sit at 3000 Sound Ave, Riverhead, NY 11901, a straight shot from Route 25. Greens roll across well-kept turf, and the clubhouse keeps things practical. A quick call ahead confirms your plans if you’re heading out midday: (631) 722-6010.

Find your way with a map, then settle in before the afternoon wind picks up. Directions help you avoid the back roads when the sun’s high.
