Thinking About Living in Bellport Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Bellport Country Club and the surrounding The Hamptons (East End) golf market.
Bellport Country Club (operating today as Bellport Golf Club) traces to a 19th-century Seth Raynor design, later modified by Robert Trent Jones and Bill Love, and is owned/overseen by the Incorporated Village of Bellport through its Golf Commission. Its access model is genuinely unusual among this market's clubs: it is explicitly semi-private, open to "Members, Incorporated Village of Bellport residents, and their guests" -- meaning a Village resident can play the course simply by showing a Village-issued resident ID card, without needing to be a dues-paying club member at all. Formal golf membership is separately capped (410 members, about 24% of them residents) with a substantial waitlist (329 non-residents, as of the most recent figures found).
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Two distinct access paths exist: (1) formal, capped, waitlisted golf membership open to residents and non-residents alike, and (2) a resident-ID-card path that lets any Incorporated Village of Bellport resident play without holding membership. This is a genuine village-residency-tied access model, not proximity marketing.
Location & Surrounding Area
The course sits within the Incorporated Village of Bellport in the Town of Brookhaven.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current Village boundaries against any specific home under consideration -- resident access applies only within the Incorporated Village, not the wider Bellport hamlet.
- Confirm current membership fees directly with the club/Village; a 2024 fee increase was referenced in local press but the resulting current figure was not independently confirmed.
Notable
- Owned/overseen by the Incorporated Village of Bellport via its Golf Commission.
- 410 golf members, approximately 24% of whom are Village residents; roughly 329 non-resident applicants on the waitlist.
- One of relatively few 19th-century-dating golf courses in the U.S., with a Seth Raynor design pedigree.
