The Rockaway Hunting Club, founded in 1878, warmly welcomes men and women visitors from kindred historic golf clubs around the world to play our challenging links course and to enjoy the traditional ambience of our members-only Club. Our Board has identified a select group of clubs whose members we wish to encourage to visit the Club and are inviting their members to play our golf course when visiting the New York City area. If your club has received our letter invitation, you are welcome to visit RHC with the following procedures to apply:

Our Expectations

  • We expect our Visitors to dress and conduct themselves as they do at their own clubs.
  • A round of golf should take no longer than four hours.
  • Each Visitor must have a verified handicap.
  • Ours is a walking golf course and Visitors are strongly encouraged to use Caddies, when available.
  • Please help us keep our course in proper condition by replacing divots, repairing pitch marks and properly raking bunkers.
