About this course

North Woodmere Golf Course occupies a modest parcel in Valley Stream, New York, situated in the densely populated southwestern corner of Nassau County on Long Island. The course was designed by David Gordon, a regional architect who worked on several municipal and daily-fee layouts in the New York metropolitan area during the mid-twentieth century. The facility serves the local golfing community in an area where available land for golf has long been limited by residential and commercial development. The routing navigates relatively flat terrain typical of Long Island's coastal plain, with play characterized by straightforward holes that prioritize accessibility over dramatic elevation change or severe hazards. Tree-lined fairways define most corridors, and the course layout reflects the practical constraints of its urban setting. Water features and bunkers provide strategic interest on select holes, though the design generally accommodates golfers of varying skill levels. North Woodmere functions primarily as a public-access facility serving Nassau County residents and visitors seeking convenient golf in the New York City suburbs. The course provides a straightforward test of golf in an area where municipal and affordable options have historically been important to maintaining the game's accessibility. Its location near the Queens border places it within reach of a large metropolitan population, and it continues to serve as a neighborhood course for those seeking unpretentious golf close to home.

Getting there

North Woodmere Golf Course sits in the heart of Nassau County's Gold Coast, accessible via LaGuardia Airport (LGA) or Newark Liberty International (EWR) - both roughly 30 to 45 minutes away depending on traffic patterns across the Queens or Brooklyn approaches. For those arriving by car, the club nestles just off Woodmere Boulevard in Valley Stream, a graceful transition from the suburban spine of Long Island into one of the region's most storied private enclaves, where tree-lined streets and manicured estates signal entry into a world apart from the surrounding commercial landscape. The drive from either airport winds through the familiar rhythms of Long Island's North Shore before descending into the quiet, established neighborhoods where North Woodmere has anchored the local golfing tradition for over a century. This is arrival without fanfare - a slip into the familiar, yet unmistakably exclusive.
