Garden City Golf Club

Garden City Golf Club is a private golf club in the village of Garden City on Long Island, New York. Its course first opened on May 29, 1897 as the Island Golf Links, a nine-hole layout designed by Devereux Emmet for guests of the Garden City Hotel, and it was soon expanded to eighteen holes. The club was incorporated as the Garden City Golf Club on May 17, 1899. It hosted the U.S. Open in 1902, won by Laurie Auchterlonie, the U.S. Amateur in 1900, 1908, 1913 and 1936, and the Walker Cup in 1924. Walter Travis, a founding member, later reworked the course, and the club's Spring Invitational was renamed the Walter J. Travis Invitational in 1927. It remains one of the few men-only golf clubs in the United States.
