Wheatley Hills Course
Wheatley Hills, a Long Island fixture since its founding in 1913, represents a charming confluence of old-school golf tradition and accessible playability just east of the New York City bustle. The course itself, while not nationally renowned, has served as a cherished haven for generations of local golfers. Architect Devereux Emmet crafted a classic parkland layout on gently rolling terrain. The relatively short distances and tree-lined fairways place a premium on strategic shot-making rather than brute power. Subtle doglegs and well-placed bunkers reward thoughtful approaches to the green. It’s a layout where a well-executed fade can be a golfer’s best friend. While Wheatley Hills may not boast major championship pedigree, it’s renowned locally for its unpretentious atmosphere and tight-knit community. Many members are multi-generational, having learned the game within its borders. There's a tangible sense of camaraderie that extends beyond the course, often fueled by lively debates in the clubhouse after a round.

Most members arrive at Wheatley Hills Golf Club via New York's three major gateways - JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark Liberty - though the private Westchester County Airport offers a discreet alternative for those traveling by jet. The club sits tucked into the quietly affluent fabric of East Williston on Long Island's North Shore, roughly thirty minutes east of Midtown Manhattan when traffic cooperates, though the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway can stretch that window considerably. The final miles peel away from commercial corridors into tree-canopied residential streets where grand homes recede behind hedgerows, and the transition feels less like leaving the city than stepping back into its most gracious, unhurried era. Wheatley Hills reveals itself with characteristic understatement - a classic clubhouse rising beyond manicured grounds, the kind of place that has never needed to announce its presence.

Overshadowed given it is one the best golf destination in the world but it is an awesome classical design. Course you can play every day with good architecture. Greens were super fun and not a stuffy club at all.
Absurdly good conditions. Some of the best I've seen. Lightning greens. Experienced a HIO in my group.
