Title: Glimpses of Long Island's Country Clubs
Post by: Sven Nilsen on June 03, 2019, 10:49:15 AM

In 1932, the Brooklyn Times Union ran a series of articles on country clubs on Long Island.  While the articles don't go into a ton of detail on the architectural history of these courses (and don't cover the entire island), they do provide a nice snapshot of the golf scene during the early days of the depression, a scene that was apparently thriving.


April 1, 1932 Brooklyn Times Union -

I'm going to post these in the order they were printed.  Please feel free to chime in with any comments or questions.

I may go back through and add in some additional information for each course.


In the meantime, John Sabino's thread on Lost New York courses might be interesting:

You can argue that this series by the Times Union was a snapshot of Long Island golf at its absolute peak, unbeknownst to the clubs at the time.  Some of them had just opened for business intending to capitalize on the boom of the 1920s.  Little did they know what was ahead.  Within 10-15 years many of these courses were history.

You can argue that this series by the Times Union was a snapshot of Long Island golf at its absolute peak, unbeknownst to the clubs at the time.  Some of them had just opened for business intending to capitalize on the boom of the 1920s.  Little did they know what was ahead.  Within 10-15 years many of these courses were history.

Phil:


I'm not sure how many of those closures were due to the club's struggles, or if there were better uses for the land as the urban sprawl spread on the island.  Not many places saw the kind of growth and housing construction that took place on Long Island post WWII.

The suburban growth/development aspect of it was unique to Long Island, as you said, and it pretty effectively squashed a number of clubs that were weakened during the Depression/WWII, that I guess theoretically could have had a chance to survive if they existed elsewhere.

Off the top of my head, Valley Stream and Sound View/Sound Shore were immediately repurposed into residential developments in the early/mid 1940s; Milburn (by then known as Willowbrook) was targeted for years for school development and in early '50s was immediately converted into grounds for Baldwin HS.

Thanks for the feedback.  Pretty sure Cedar Point was a 1922/23 Herbert Stong design.  In 1931 they tried to run Meadowlawn as a private club, don't think it lasted more than a year.


There are reports that Arnold Rothstein was involved with its inception.

Here's an attempt at placing the various courses from the articles, as well as some others, on a map of Nassau County.  Going to attempt to do the same for Queens and Suffolk Counties. 


If anyone has any courses that should be added to the maps, please let me know.

Trying to track through the various names and locations of many of these courses can be a bit tricky.


For example, Devereux Emmet built Queensboro G&CC in Astoria, Queens in 1917.  This course was also known as Astoria CC.


Around the same time, Bayside Links (or the Bayside Hotel GC) was built in the Bayside neighborhood of Queens.  This course would soon become the Belleclaire CC, and in 1927 the course would be sold to new ownership who renamed it Queensboro GC.  A few years later a new group came and redubbed the club Old Belleclaire CC.


To add a little more confusion, in the 1930's Alistair Mackenzie was brought in to build Bayside Links just up the road from the location of Old Belleclaire.

Another Long Island course that has faded into the ether.


Munsey Park GC near Manhasset.  Designed by Marty O'Loughlin, it opened in 1932 and was gone by 1937.


If anyone has any more information on this one please let me know.

Impressed again even a year later by Sven's unearthing of these articles detailing courses that in some cases barely saw the light of day as far as publicity. 

I remember a few years ago I was invited to do a book discussion at a branch of the Great Neck Library, and while preparing the presentation, it dawned on me that this particular library happens to be located essentially at the center of the former grounds of the New Hyde Park GC (Sven's post #85).  Given that the presentation focused on local golf history and lost golf courses, I thought this would be compelling. 

Unfortunately none of the octogenarians in attendance found it all that interesting -- instead they were more focused on my backstory of the Sound View Club in Great Neck, which some of them strongly refuted (despite news articles and other sources) b/c they knew the head of the homeowners' association (or something like that).

The metadata is embedded in some of the photos I have come across.  This is typically when, and where.  But, many times there is not a description of the people in the photo, but sometimes yes. The only way I can imagine to identify the people is to contact whoever took the photos.  Of course they are probably dead, as well as the people in the photos.  Another idea is to find out who transferred it to digital.  Sometimes they can help with that.  I don't really have an answer since all this is kinda new to me.  I am just searching for anything of note and regurgitating it to you guys, or to the appropriate club.
