Thinking About Living in Sebonack Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Sebonack Golf Club and the surrounding The Hamptons (East End) golf market.
Sebonack Golf Club, a joint Jack Nicklaus/Tom Doak design that opened in 2006 on Great Peconic Bay in Southampton (adjacent to both Shinnecock Hills and National Golf Links of America), is one of the clearest residential-integration stories among the Hamptons' destination clubs. Its premium membership tier -- reported at $650,000 against a $500,000 golf-only tier -- explicitly bundles access to one of 15 four-bedroom, roughly 3,000-square-foot cottages built around the course, each with private baths, a great room, and outdoor terraces. That is a genuine on-site residential/lodging product tied to membership, not merely proximity to a prestigious club.
Golf & Course
The Nicklaus/Doak collaboration was, at its 2006 opening, described as potentially the world's highest-cost golf club membership; the course occupies waterfront terrain between Shinnecock Hills and NGLA and has been ranked among the top courses built in the 2000s.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Two membership tiers exist: a golf-only membership and a premium tier that includes cottage-stay access. Cottages are not individually owned; they are a membership benefit, not a piece of real estate a member can buy, sell, or will separately from the membership itself.
Living in Sebonack Golf Club
The 15 cottages sit on the course grounds and function as members' lodging rather than a conventional residential subdivision -- there is no HOA, no resale market, and no address-based ownership the way a typical golf-community home would have.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Amenities extend beyond golf to full dining and pool facilities intended to make the club function as a stay-and-play retreat for out-of-town members using the cottages.
Location & Surrounding Area
Sited on Great Peconic Bay in Southampton, directly between Shinnecock Hills and National Golf Links of America -- the third leg of the East End's most prestigious golf corridor.
