Thinking About Living in The Creek Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands The Creek Club and the surrounding Long Island Gold Coast (North Shore) golf market.
The Creek Club opened in 1923 on a dramatic clifftop site over Long Island Sound in Lattingtown, part of the Locust Valley Gold Coast corridor. One of the final collaborations between Charles Blair Macdonald and Seth Raynor, the course is best known for its tidal 11th-hole island green and for an original membership wealthy enough that the club was immediately dubbed "The Million Dollar Club," with members including J.P. Morgan. The original clubhouse was designed by architect William Adams Delano.
Like Piping Rock, The Creek functions as an emblem of the surrounding Gold Coast estate district rather than an anchor for a specific bundled community -- it is one of the clearest examples in this market of golf prestige and residential prestige reinforcing each other by proximity and shared history rather than through any formal membership-with-home-purchase structure.
Golf & Course
Designed by Macdonald and Raynor, the course features classic template holes (a Redan, an Alps) and has undergone extensive restoration by Gil Hanse. The fluctuating Long Island Sound tide floods a natural channel at the 11th hole to create a genuine island green -- a rare, site-specific design feature.
