Huntington Country Club
About this course
Huntington Country Club, a fixture of Cold Spring Harbor, embodies the understated elegance of Long Island's North Shore. Its enduring charm lies in its distinctly member-centric ethos, prioritizing camaraderie and unpretentious enjoyment of the game over chasing fleeting accolades. Laid out in the early 1920s, the course bears the hallmarks of Golden Age design, rewarding strategic play over brute force. The gently rolling parkland, studded with mature hardwoods, presents a classically proportioned test, with doglegs and subtly contoured greens that favor shot-shapers and deft putters. Its original architect is not widely known, and the course has not hosted any major championships. Huntington's appeal isn't rooted in grandstanding architectural statements, but in its role as a beloved community hub. Locals will note that, after a round, members can always be found enjoying the famous New England Clam Chowder in the clubhouse. Huntington delivers a timeless golf experience, quietly cherished by those who understand its enduring appeal.

Getting there
The journey to Huntington Country Club begins at either LaGuardia Airport (LGA) or Newark Liberty International (EWR), each roughly forty-five minutes to an hour from the club depending on traffic across the Queens-Midtown Expressway or through the Lincoln Tunnel. For those arriving by private aircraft, Republic Airport (FRG) in Farmingdale sits just twenty minutes south and offers a discrete alternative to the major hubs. The final leg traces the Long Island Expressway northward before transitioning to quieter, tree-lined roads that wind through the affluent North Shore neighborhoods, where the landscape shifts from suburban density to the manicured estates and waterfront vistas that define this storied Gold Coast enclave. The club's arrival marks the culmination of a journey that feels, despite its proximity to Manhattan, like a passage into an altogether more serene and established world.
