The Glen Oaks Club in Old Westbury, New York, is one of those traditionally discreet country clubs. That’s why its website doesn’t have any sort of information for non-guests, with just employment opportunities and directions on how to get there.
Still, the Glen Oaks Club is listed as a Platinum Club of America, which makes it among the best out of the thousands of country clubs in the US. It’s currently listed as 134th among all of them, so there’s no doubting the excellence of the amenities.
These include 27 holes of golf, and the golf course has been recently redesigned so it’s even more challenging and also more fun to play.
The Glen Oaks Club currently has about 700 members in total spread out among the various membership categories. A Regular member has to pay an initiation fee of $100,000 with annual dues of $27,075. However, the oldest Junior category pay dues of $16,750 per year, and the younger members pay even less. There’s an annual food and beverage minimum of $1,800 along with a capital charge of $200 per month.
All these fees for a regular member total $31,275 in fees per year, and that’s on top of the 6-figure initiation fee. Members don’t seem to mind at all, since the golf facilities are just fantastic. In addition, the clubhouse itself is huge with almost 150,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor dining areas, lounges, and meeting places. A card room for 100 women, and another card room for 40 men.
The formal dining room is simply exquisite, along with an upgraded atrium and outdoor covered veranda. The men’s sports bar and the mixed grill areas have also been recently renovated.
Next to the clubhouse, you have a large pool along with a buzzing upscale snack bar. The tennis facilities also include 7 Har-Tru courts. If you have guests staying over, 24 rented guest rooms are available. These are generally for longer stays (such as for the entire summer vacation) rather than for just a few days.
The Glen Oaks Club has been around for nearly a century, and you’ll find that they remain true to their original vision to provide “a home away from home”.
