About Garden City Golf Club
The Garden City Golf Club is a private golf course in the Incorporated Village of Garden City, on Long Island, in New York, United States. The club was founded in 1899, and is also known as the "Garden City Men's Club" or simply the "Men's Club" to distinguish it from the Garden City Country Club and the Cherry Valley Club – both of which are also located within the village. It remains one of the few men-only golf clubs in the United States.
