The Seawane Club
About this course
The Seawane Club, a Long Island fixture, embodies a classic, understated elegance cultivated over decades. Situated in Hewlett, the course presents a mature, parkland-style experience. While not exceedingly long, Seawane favors strategic play and precise iron work into its subtly contoured greens. Its tree-lined fairways demand accuracy off the tee, rewarding those who can shape their shots around the course's gentle doglegs. Originally designed by Devereux Emmet, a prominent figure in the Golden Age of golf architecture, The Seawane Club has seen subtle refinements over the years, maintaining its classic charm. While Seawane hasn't hosted major championships, its value lies in its commitment to its membership β a tightly-knit community that cherishes the course's playability and social atmosphere. Seawane is noted among Long Island clubs less for competitive pedigree and more for its vibrant membership and social scene, particularly among its Jewish members. The Club has historically provided a haven in a region where such inclusivity wasn't always the norm. The Club itself is known for its low key atmosphere, away from the spotlight of some of its neighbors, and their excellent food options.

Getting there
The Seawane Club sits on the North Shore of Long Island, accessible most directly from New York's three major metropolitan airports - LaGuardia (LGA) and JFK International both lie within 45 minutes by car, while Newark (EWR) offers a similar journey across the Hudson and through the outer boroughs. For those arriving by private aviation, the nearby Republic Airport (FRG) in Farmingdale provides a discreet alternative, positioning you just 20 minutes from the club's gates. The drive itself traces a quiet passage through the leafy residential enclaves of Nassau County, where tree-lined streets and glimpses of the Sound gradually replace the urban sprawl, delivering you to the club's understated entrance in Hewlett Harbor - a sanctuary of old-money discretion overlooking the waters where Long Island's most storied golf traditions have flourished for over a century.
