The Glen Oaks Club's Blue Course is located in Old Westbury on Long Island's North Shore, a region known for its estate properties and rolling terrain shaped by glacial activity. Joe Finger, a Texas-based architect who worked extensively from the 1950s through the 1980s, designed this course as part of a multi-course facility. Finger's work often emphasized strategic variety and playability across different skill levels, and his designs were informed by his engineering background and experience working with press-era architects.
The Blue Course occupies land characteristic of Long Island's Gold Coast, where natural elevation changes and mature tree growth provide definition and character to the holes. The routing takes advantage of the property's topography, with holes that move through wooded corridors and across more open terrain. As one of multiple courses at the club, the Blue Course serves as part of a comprehensive golf offering for the membership.
Glen Oaks Club operates as a private facility with a membership that includes families from the surrounding North Shore communities. The club maintains traditional country club amenities and programming beyond golf. The setting in Old Westbury places it among a concentration of historic estates and established clubs that have defined this part of Nassau County since the early twentieth century, though Glen Oaks itself represents a later generation of Long Island club development.
