The Muttontown Club

The Muttontown Club features one of the most distinguished and superb courses on all of Long Island. The course, opened in 1962, was designed by Alfred H. Tull, a prolific designer with courses all over the eastern United States, including Bethpage’s Blue and Yellow tracks. The 2 course plays 6,533 yards from the tips and has a slope and rating of 70.3/128. The elegant Georgian mansion, which serves as the clubhouse, is steeped in history. Dubbed “The Mad Chimneys” for the 26 fireplaces and 13 chimneys set among its 44 rooms, the building was completed in 1919 and soon became the home of Henry Fonda. According to a New York golf commentator, “Sumptuous is the only way to describe The Muttontown Club, not far from the Long Island Expressway on Northern Boulevard in East Norwich, Long Island. You turn onto a very long entrance road to a circular driveway and a beautiful red brick Georgian Style Clubhouse befitting aristocrats. The course is impeccably maintained, the lockers are large and of an expensive wood, the steam room is fit for a king, and after exiting the 18th hole you can sit on the veranda of the beautiful clubhouse with a view of the entire course.”
