The Vineyards Golf Club

What The Vineyards Golf Club does

The Vineyards Golf Club is a private, full-service country club located at 9 Tyler Drive in Riverhead, NY, on the North Fork of Long Island. Founded in 2005, the club is anchored by an 18-hole par-70 golf course designed by William 'Buddy' Johnson, featuring bent grass tees, fairways, and greens, and complemented by athletic facilities (seasonal pool, tennis, pickleball, bocce courts), an on-site Bar & Grill restaurant, and a TrackMan 4-equipped teaching center for swing analytics and club fittings. The club also operates a pro shop retailing Adidas, Callaway, FootJoy, TaylorMade, and Titleist equipment and apparel. Its website is hosted by CourseLogix, and it provides a CB-login member portal.

The club monetizes through four streams: (1) annual private membership subscriptions across three tiers — Full Single, Young Executive, and Social — granting access to golf, dining, athletics, and social events; (2) event hosting and catering for weddings (capped at one per day), rehearsal dinners, showers, corporate events, and golf outings (50–150 players), accommodating 20–250 guests; (3) pro shop hardware and apparel sales; and (4) restaurant and bar dining for members and event guests under Head Chef Thomas Lopez. Pricing is quote-based across all tiers and event packages.

The club serves two primary customer segments: affluent private members and families seeking an exclusive North Fork country-club experience, and event clients (couples, families, and corporate planners) seeking full-service venue hosting with one-wedding-per-day exclusivity. Go-to-market is entirely direct: word-of-mouth referrals, organic Google search, Facebook presence, and website inquiry forms for both membership and event requests. The club operates with a small team of approximately 9 staff across golf operations, member services (led by Director Luca Grigoletto), culinary, and dining room management.

Direct peers

• Shinnecock Hills Golf Club: Elite private golf club in Southampton, NY and a multiple U.S. Open host. Comparable as a Long Island private golf club competing for the same elite member demographic, though with significantly higher prestige and initiation fees.
• Maidstone Club: Private club in East Hampton, NY offering golf, beach, and dining amenities. Directly comparable as a Hamptons-based private club offering a similar mix of golf, dining, and event hosting to the same affluent demographic.
• National Golf Links of America: Historic private club in Southampton, NY with a C.B. Macdonald-designed course. Competitor for the same high-end Long Island private club membership pool and a comparable premium golf and social experience.
• Friar's Head: Private club in Baiting Hollow, NY on Long Island's North Fork — directly adjacent to The Vineyards' geography. Most geographically proximate private club peer and the most direct competitor for North Fork members and outings.
• Sebonack Golf Club: Highly exclusive private golf club in Southampton, NY on the Hamptons, featuring a Jack Nicklaus/Tom Doak-designed course. Directly comparable as a Hamptons-based private golf and country club competing for the same affluent Long Island member demographic.
• Atlantic Golf Club: Private club in Bridgehampton, NY designed by Rees Jones. Competes for the same Long Island Hamptons private club member base and offers a comparable full-service golf and event experience.

Broad incumbents

• Engineers Country Club: Established private country club in Roslyn, NY on Long Island's North Shore. Comparable as a Long Island private club offering golf, dining, pool, and event amenities to a similar demographic, but located in a different Long Island sub-market.
• Old Westbury Golf & Country Club: Long Island private country club on the North Shore, not on the Hamptons/North Fork. Comparable as a full-service private club with golf, dining, and events serving a similar affluent Long Island demographic, but in a different sub-region.
• Pine Hollow Country Club: Private country club in East Norwich, NY on Long Island. Comparable as a Long Island private club offering golf, dining, and event hosting to a similar affluent demographic, though serving a different sub-region of Long Island.

Others

• Bethpage State Park Golf Courses: Public golf complex in Farmingdale, NY operated by New York State. Not a direct competitor (public vs. private), but a regional benchmark for golf-course operations on Long Island and a comparison point for the broader Long Island golf market.
