Item Description

Enjoy a round of golf on a week day for four people plus lunch at Deepdale Golf Club in Manhasset, New York. 

This prize includes greens fee, golf carts, and caddy fee. Deepdale is a private golf course which offers a fun but challenging golfing experience.

Set within the rolling hills of northern Nassau County, the course boasts an abundance of sharp dogleg holes and the greens are both steeply sloped and fast, making putting quite an adventure!

About Deepdale:
In 1924, William K. Vanderbilt II, one of Long Island’s most avid sportsmen, decided to convert some of the rolling acreage on his Deepdale summer estate at Lake Success, into a private golf course.  It was a historic moment that would create what is still considered to be one of the most prestigious private clubs in the nation.

Vanderbilt engaged Charles Blair Macdonald, architect of the National Golf Links of America and his protégés, Seth Raynor and Charles Banks, to help design and create a premier golf course.  Vanderbilt’s friends soon approached him with the idea of organizing a golf club with a small, select membership, a place for weekday play when there was no time for the train ride out to Southampton and The National.

On October 26, 1924, the Deepdale Golf Club was incorporated.

After decades of play, in 1954, the Long Island Expressway was routed through the northern part of the course as the region began to pioneer the concept of suburbia.  The club purchased the W.R. Grace estate, located just a short distance from the original Deepdale.

Deepdale Golf Club’s relocated course, with the stunning Grace mansion serving as the clubhouse, was officially opened in 1955, and its role as one of the preeminent private clubs in America continues to this day, welcoming a diverse membership of men and women united by their common love of the game of golf.
