Long Island is so densely packed with world class golf clubs that even some of the finest courses manage to get ignored. At places like Inwood Country Club, this feels almost criminal. However, I don’t think the membership minds all that much. They know what they have out there and they are completely content to fly under the radar. At Inwood, staying below the radar is actually a legal requirement with the flight path of Runway 1 at JFK airport extending directly over the historic club.
Most famously, Inwood hosted the PGA Championship in 1921 and the US Open in 1923. While the course is now considered short by today’s standards, both the fun factor and the charm level have more than doubled. Inwood is one of the most fun golf courses on Long Island and it was even more fun to photograph. Please enjoy this inside look at Inwood Country Club.
