Inwood Country Club
Inwood Country Club is a private Golf, Tennis & Beach Club in Inwood, New York, located adjacent to Jamaica Bay and just southeast of John F. Kennedy International Airport. Originally established as nine-hole course in 1901, it is one of the oldest golf courses on Long Island. The course was expanded to an eighteen-hole layout 116 years ago in 1906. Prior to hosting any major championships, the course was in part redesigned by course architect Herbert Strong. The front nine of the course features an unusual layout: three consecutive par 5s followed by two par 3s in a row. In the early 1920s, Inwood hosted two major championships, won by two of the game's legends. The PGA Championship in 1921 was won by Walter Hagen, the first of his five wins in that major, then a match play competition. Two years later, 21-year-old amateur Bobby Jones won the U.S. Open, the first of his four titles in that championship.Inwood Country Club is the only country club in the metropolitan area to have its own private beach club, which is located a few minutes from its main house in the affluent beach town of Atlantic Beach, NY.
