The 18-hole "Bellport" course at the Bellport Country Club facility in Bellport, New York features 6,234 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71. The course rating is 70.1 and it has a slope rating of 118. Originally designed by Seth Raynor, the Bellport golf course opened in 1899.
Over the years, improvements have been made to keep the golf course in step with the times and in top-condition. Irrigation systems were installed twice over the years to keep the course well irrigated and green. The two bay holes were redesigned in the 1960's by Robert Trent Jones. More recently, architect William Love completed a four-year renovation at a cost of $1.5 million. All 18 holes were involved in the renovation that provides improvements, but still retains the design created by the original architect, Seth Raynor, whose trademark adaptations of famous holes came from courses in the United Kingdom.
Bellport Country Club takes pride in that many outstanding professionals have been hosted including Fred Couples, Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, and many others. The club is also proud of its women's participation. The Bellport Women's Golf Association was formed in 1954 and seeks to promote a competitive and social atmosphere at the Bellport Country Club.
In 2004, Bellport Country Club received certification in Environmental Planning from the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System (ACSS), an program administered by Audubon International designed to help landowners preserve and enhance the environmental quality of their property. The plan was developed by Robert Furchert, Bellport Country Club Superintendent, who is also recognized for his effort to plan environmental stewardship.
