Fenway Golf Club

What Fenway Golf Club does

Fenway Golf Club is a private, member-owned country club founded in 1924 in Scarsdale, New York, operating on a 155-acre estate at 384 Old Mamaroneck Road. The club's anchor asset is an 18-hole championship golf course originally designed by A.W. Tillinghast and opened on July 4, 1924; the routing was gently restored in 2019 by renowned architect Gil Hanse using Tillinghast's original plans and late-1920s aerial photographs, with hundreds of trees removed to recapture original sightlines. The club ranks among Golf Digest's Top 20 courses in New York State and GolfWeek's Top 100 Greatest Classical Courses in the United States.

Beyond the golf course, Fenway delivers a full country-club amenity set: eight Har-Tru tennis courts with a dedicated head professional, a pool complex with a separate kiddy pool and adjacent playground, an English Country Manor-style clubhouse renovated in 2018 with a white-oak bar and terrace/patio dining, and a curated dining program led by Executive Chef Michael Lockard. It also hosts weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate events, and golf outings through a dedicated Director of Events, and operates the annual Mittelmark Invitational, a Northeast amateur tournament whose alumni include PGA Tour professionals such as Keegan Bradley.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring private membership dues (membership is by invitation or member sponsorship only, with non-public pricing), supplemented by special-events catering, golf guest fees, and amenity access. The club sells to two main segments: affluent Westchester County families seeking an exclusive multi-generational recreational and social environment, and event-host clients (corporate and personal) seeking a picturesque, high-catering venue. Originally founded as Fenimore Golf Club in 1920 on a 40-acre portion of publisher Eugene Reynal's estate, the club reorganized and was renamed Fenway Golf Club in 1936 during the Great Depression. It operates as an independent member-owned organization with no disclosed parent company, private equity backing, or external institutional ownership.
