North Shore Towers and Country Club

North Shore Towers and Country Club occupies a compact site in Floral Park, a village on Long Island's Nassau County border with Queens. The course was designed by W. H. Follett, an architect active in the New York metropolitan area during the early twentieth century. Follett's work appears in several northeastern layouts from this period, though he remains less documented than contemporaries like Devereux Emmet or A.W. Tillinghast who shaped Long Island's more prominent clubs. The property reflects the constraints common to courses developed in densely settled suburban areas near New York City. Floral Park's residential character and limited acreage typically produce shorter, tighter layouts where strategic bunkering and green complexes provide the primary challenge rather than length or dramatic elevation change. The flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of this part of Nassau County allows for straightforward walking and year-round accessibility. North Shore Towers serves primarily as a residential country club, with the golf course integrated into a larger community amenity structure. This model became increasingly common in post-war Long Island development, where golf facilities anchored apartment or condominium complexes. The course provides convenient recreational access for residents while maintaining a private club atmosphere distinct from the daily-fee facilities more common in the region's public golf landscape.
