Glen Head Country Club, Inc.

What Glen Head Country Club, Inc. does

Glen Head Country Club, Inc. is a private, member-owned country club incorporated and operating in Glen Head, New York on Long Island. Founded in 1947 on a site previously used as the Women's National Golf & Tennis Club, the club sits on over 160 acres and is governed by an elected Board of Directors with no outside parent or institutional ownership. Its principal asset is an 18-hole, 6,700-yard, par 71 Devereaux Emmet designed golf course, supplemented by 5 Har-Tru tennis courts, 4 dedicated pickleball courts, an Olympic-size swimming pool, a fitness center equipped with Peloton and functional training equipment, full-service dining comparable to high-end Long Island restaurants, and a 300-guest ballroom for private events. The golf offering is reinforced by a Teaching Center featuring a TrackMan 4 launch monitor, Mitchell Golf fitting equipment, and an indoor driving range enabling year-round practice and instruction; a pro shop stocks Callaway, Ping, Titleist, TaylorMade, XXIO, and apparel from Kjus, G/Fore, Peter Millar, and Belyn Key.

The club generates revenue from two streams: recurring membership initiation fees and annual dues (golf, tennis, pool, fitness, dining, social access), and private event hosting including weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, Sweet 16s, golf outings, and corporate functions. The go-to-market is referral-driven and high-touch: prospective members arrange visits with the Membership Chairman and are screened by the Membership Committee, with additional member-guest referrals and the annual Glen Head Classic tournament supporting pipeline development. Distribution is regional and confined to the Long Island/New York metropolitan market; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated directly with the club. Recent capital deployment includes a 2024 $1.75 million bunker renovation, a 2016-2017 full clubhouse first-floor refurbishment with a new bridal suite, installation of the TrackMan 4 Teaching Center, a Peloton-equipped fitness upgrade, and the addition of 4 pickleball courts, indicating a sustained reinvestment cycle to preserve amenity quality and member value. The club uses Jonas Club Software for member management and maintains a light public presence through Facebook, Instagram, and its website.
