About this course

Glen Oaks Club's White Course occupies a wooded estate property in Old Westbury, part of Long Island's historic Gold Coast region where grand country clubs were established in the early twentieth century. The course was designed by Joe Finger, a Texas-based architect who worked extensively from the 1950s through the 1980s and was known for his practical, playable designs across the southern United States. His work on Long Island represents a less common northeastern project in his portfolio. The routing moves through mature hardwood forests and rolling terrain characteristic of the North Shore's glacial landscape. Tree-lined fairways and elevation changes create a parkland character, with the natural topography providing strategic interest without severe slopes. The design emphasizes accuracy and course management rather than overwhelming length, reflecting both the wooded setting and the architectural sensibilities of Finger's era. Glen Oaks Club operates as a private facility serving the Old Westbury community, an area known for its preserved estates and equestrian traditions. The club maintains multiple courses and amenities typical of established Long Island country clubs, where golf is part of a broader social and recreational membership experience. The White Course functions as one component of the club's golf offerings, providing members with variety in their regular play.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Glen Oaks Club touch down at one of the New York metro area's three major gateways - JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark Liberty - though Teterboro Airport serves as the preferred private aviation portal for members traveling by jet. From any of these points, the drive to Old Westbury traces a path eastward along Long Island's North Shore, threading through the storied Gold Coast estates that once defined American aristocracy. The final miles peel away from the expressway onto tree-canopied lanes where stone walls and iron gates mark the boundaries of old money, culminating at Glen Oaks Club's discreet entrance - a quiet threshold into one of the nation's most intensely private enclaves.
