Glen Oaks Club
About this course
Glen Oaks Club occupies a wooded property in Old Westbury on Long Island's North Shore, a region known for its estates and mature tree-lined golf courses. The club was established in the mid-twentieth century and features a layout designed by Joe Finger, a Texas-based architect who worked extensively across the United States during the 1950s through the 1970s. Finger's portfolio includes numerous private clubs and resort courses, and his work at Glen Oaks reflects his approach to routing golf holes through established woodland terrain. The Blue/White combination at Glen Oaks moves through rolling topography characteristic of Long Island's glacial landscape, with elevation changes that are modest but meaningful for strategic play. Tree-lined fairways define most holes, and the routing takes advantage of natural corridors and clearings within the property. The course requires accuracy from the tee and thoughtful club selection on approaches, as the wooded setting limits recovery options for errant shots. Glen Oaks operates as a private club serving members from the surrounding communities of Nassau County and greater New York. The club maintains traditions common to established Long Island clubs, with social and dining programs that complement the golf offering. The course provides a parkland experience distinct from the links-influenced designs found closer to the island's southern shore, emphasizing tree management and green complexes suited to the inland setting.

Getting there
Glen Oaks Club sits on Long Island's North Shore, accessible most directly from LaGuardia Airport (LGA) or Newark Liberty International (EWR), each roughly forty minutes away via the Long Island Expressway and local roads that gradually shed their urban character as you move eastward into the Gold Coast landscape. For those arriving by private aircraft, Republic Airport (FRG) in Farmingdale offers a considerably more discreet alternative, positioning you just twenty minutes from the club's gates. The final miles unfold through the leafy, gated communities of Old Westbury, where manicured estates and tree-lined drives signal entry into one of America's most storied private golf enclaves, the understated grandeur of Glen Oaks Club emerging as the quiet culmination of your journey.
