A stiff, salty breeze blows off Long Island Sound, deep blue and glittering on a Sunday afternoon, forcing the waves against the Sands Point shore.The Village of Sands Point, incorporated in 1910, covers almost 3,000 acres at the tip of the Port Washington peninsula. It is now home to more than 850 families, who enjoy its quiet rural atmosphere on the North Shore of Long Island less than 25 miles from Manhattan. The area began to glitter at the turn of the century, when business magnates -most notably Guggenheims, Vanderbilts and Goulds - decided to build their ''country'' estates here. Before that, Sands Point was a sparsely settled summer resort with a lot of farmland. Sands Point is now a residential village boasting a nature preserve owned and maintained by Nassau County, a private golf club, and the Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths and Adults
The Sands Point Golf Club is a private golf and skeet facility located in Sands Point, New York. The Club is nationally recognized for its 18-hole A.W. Tillinghast golf course that opened for play on July 21st, 1927. Playing over 6,600 yards, from its championship tees this par 71 lay out remains true in character and design. The course continues to be defined by its many deep greenside bunkers which frame elevated greens with putting surfaces of subtle breaks that slope from back to front. An array of strategically placed fairway bunkers and tight landing areas call for precision off the tee and add to the difficulty of play.
With the Club’s emphasis on golf and adherence to tradition, Sands Point is both an enjoyable and formidable challenge for members and their guests.is a private golf and skeet facility located in Sands Point, New York.
