Glimpses of Long Island's Country Clubs
« on: June 03, 2019, 10:49:15 AM »
In 1932, the Brooklyn Times Union ran a series of articles on country clubs on Long Island.  While the articles don't go into a ton of detail on the architectural history of these courses (and don't cover the entire island), they do provide a nice snapshot of the golf scene during the early days of the depression, a scene that was apparently thriving.


April 1, 1932 Brooklyn Times Union -






I'm going to post these in the order they were printed.  Please feel free to chime in with any comments or questions.



1.  Pomonok Country Club, April 3, 1932
