One of, if not the best private golf club or country club I have visited. I have avoided joining a golf club for so many years because I couldn’t make the math work. Well SGC made me realize that it’s not about math, it’s about utility. If I were to join a club (and I lived in Westchester), this would be the place.
The course itself, while not long, is difficult. It’s a Tillinghast design and it becomes obvious on the back 9 as it feels like almost every green is raised and every shot is blind. It is a true test and is course I can’t imagine getting bored playing.
The club house is a superb building that houses the main ball room space as well as The Tillinghast room for lunch and after golf fare. The men’s locker room (spectacular) is also housed in the building.
A second a almost brand new building houses the pro shop (everything you could need and more), the women’s locker room ( which I hear is beautifully done) and pool lockers.
Yes, the Club also boasts an 25m pool including snack bar and an adults only area where alcohol and higher end snacks are served.
A full and professionally run tennis program rounds out the amenities.
The other unique and interesting fact about the club is that it is one of the few mixed religion clubs in Westchester. Many clubs here are either predominantly Jewish or predominantly not Jewish. SGC has a nice mix of many cultures and ... hold your breath... they all seem to get along.
