Overlook at Old Westbury Country Club

Old Westbury Country Club's Overlook course occupies gently rolling terrain on Long Island's North Shore, a region known for its historic estates and mature tree-lined properties. William F. Mitchell, a prolific architect in the New York metropolitan area during the mid-twentieth century, designed the layout to work with the natural contours of the land. The course features tree-lined fairways and traditional parkland characteristics typical of Long Island's private club golf.

The routing takes advantage of the property's elevation changes, which are modest but sufficient to create visual interest and strategic variety. Mature hardwoods frame many holes, and the design emphasizes accuracy off the tee and approach play into greens that reflect Mitchell's era of design. The course serves as one of two eighteen-hole layouts at Old Westbury, providing members with variety in their regular play.

Old Westbury Country Club itself dates to the early twentieth century and maintains a traditional private club atmosphere. The facility has long been part of the North Shore's established country club community, offering members golf on both the Overlook and its companion course. The club's setting in Old Westbury places it among the historic estates and preserved open spaces that characterize this part of Nassau County, providing a secluded environment despite the proximity to New York City.
