Top Country Clubs & Golf Courses on Long Island

Because a tee time is basically self-care.

When it comes to luxury living on Long Island, there’s more to brag about than beachfront views and wine cellars. Whether you’re chasing a single-digit handicap or just there for the cocktails at the clubhouse, Long Island’s country clubs and golf courses are top-tier. From the North Shore’s lush greens to Hamptons hideaways, here are the courses that deserve a spot in your weekend rotation.

🏌️‍♀️ The Creek — Locust Valley

Let’s start with a classic. Designed by Charles Blair Macdonald, The Creek is exclusivity defined. Tucked along the Long Island Sound, it’s where tradition meets prestige. The views? Breathtaking. The vibe? Old money elegance.

⛳️ Shinnecock Hills Golf Club — Southampton

A four-time U.S. Open host and one of the oldest golf clubs in the country, Shinnecock isn’t just elite — it’s iconic. The course is challenging, the design is genius, and scoring a membership? Practically a sport of its own.

🌲 Nassau Country Club — Glen Cove

Historic, private, and quietly posh. Established in 1896, Nassau CC has been home to legends and local titans alike. The course is gorgeous, the tennis courts are pristine, and the social scene? Think country-chic cocktails on the veranda.

🟢 Bethpage Golf Course — Farmingdale

Yes, it’s public. But Bethpage Black is world-famous — and not just for being the ultimate challenge (hello, U.S. Open). With five courses total, it’s where serious golfers go to prove themselves. The Black Course isn’t for the faint of heart, but the bragging rights? Worth it.

🌿 Old Westbury Golf & Country Club — Old Westbury

Three 9-hole courses, one ridiculous clubhouse, and chef’s kiss landscaping. The rolling terrain and water features make every round feel like a vacation. Add a pool, tennis, and events that are actually fun? Yes, please.

🎯 Deepdale Golf Club — Manhasset

This private Manhasset club is all about discretion. No flash, just impeccable greens and pure focus. It’s a hidden gem for serious golfers and those who value privacy above all.
