Representative Program:
Glen Oaks Club The Glen Oaks renovation developed a more
appropriate scale for the property’s golf fea-
175 Post Road Old Westbury, NY 11568 tures.
At 280 acres, the 27-Hole property is large. The Club’s landforms are large as well, not necessarily steep,
but gradually rolling. Enlarging the bunkers (while reducing their overall count) and widening the fairway
turf areas allowed the layout to lie more gracefully over the generally gentle topography.
The original plan for the par five #1 White golf hole converted six bunkers into just three more substantial
bunkers. Ultimately, during construction I also omitted the rear bunker in place of another grassing con-
nection with the adjacent 2nd fairway.
Glen Oaks has benefited from this “improvement through subtraction” mantra.
