  • THE GUST features two hosted dinners, each designed to bring the field together in an intimate, relaxed setting that encourages conversation, connection, and community.

    • Offsite Dinner at Topping Rose House
      Held at the iconic Topping Rose House, this opening evening (Wednesday following the practice rounds) sets the tone for the event. Guests gather for a curated dining experience that allows players to connect away from the course in one of the Hamptons’ most storied settings.

    • Dinner at Atlantic Golf Club
      The second dinner takes place at Atlantic Golf Club, bringing the entire field together following between the two competition rounds. This evening serves as a celebration of the week, featuring exceptional food, shared stories from the course, and continued opportunities for networking and relationship-building.

    Together, these dinners are an integral part of THE GUST—providing meaningful off-course moments that strengthen relationships, foster community, and enhance the overall event experience.
