Bellport at Bellport Country Club

Bellport Country Club sits on the south shore of Long Island in the village of Bellport, roughly sixty miles east of Manhattan. The course was originally designed by Seth Raynor and opened in the 1920s during his prolific period of creating template-based layouts across the northeastern United States. Raynor's work here featured his characteristic strategic holes modeled after famous British designs, though the course underwent significant alterations in later decades.

Robert Trent Jones Sr. redesigned portions of the layout in the mid-twentieth century, reshaping many greens and bunkers in his signature style. The Jones modifications introduced larger, more contoured putting surfaces and repositioned hazards, which shifted the course away from some of its original Raynor character. The property occupies relatively flat terrain typical of Long Island's coastal plain, with mature tree-lined fairways and modest elevation changes that define the playing corridors.

The club operates as a private facility serving the Bellport community and surrounding areas of eastern Suffolk County. Its location near Great South Bay places it within a region dense with historic golf courses, many of which share similar sandy soil conditions favorable to year-round drainage. The course layout reflects the layered design history common to many northeastern clubs that have evolved through multiple architectural hands over nearly a century of play.
