Old Oaks Country Club

Detailed description of Old Oaks Country Club

The Old Oaks Country Club golf course first opened for play in 1927. The course was designed by A.W. Tillinghast.

The Club is set on 220-acres in lower Westchester County, located 25 miles north of New York City. The facilities include an 18-hole Tillinghast designed golf course. The 80,000 square foot clubhouse, built in 1898 and renovated several times (as recently as 2001), includes a ballroom, member grill room, pool area, dining room, two outdoor terraces, outdoor fountain garden, and an arbor garden. The club also has 10 Har Tru tennis courts; an Olympic-size swimming pool; a 10 acre driving range; 16 resident suites; 5 cottages; locker room facilities; massage facilities; and card rooms.

A.W. Tillinghast was the architect of two golf courses for the Progress Country Club, now named the Old Oaks Country Club. The 9-hole course, which was built first, no longer exists, its land being required for the construction of Interstate Highway 684, and the18-hole course remains to this day as one of the finest golf courses in Westchester County. The 18-hole course at the Old Oaks Country Club plays to a par-70 and a maximum distance of 6,503 yards. The course rating is 72.3 and the slope rating is 139.
