About The Muttontown Club:
The Muttontown Club provides a sense of gracious civility packaged with a generous dose of modern-day comforts. Our members not only enjoy the manor's elegant interior and staffed fitness center, but also 5 Har-Tru clay tennis courts, an oversized pool, kid's playground, and an 18-hole golf course that offers an abundance of play for men and women alike. With its tight tee shots and intricate greens, golfers rate the course as challenging, yet uniquely approachable. Personalized tennis activities include adult clinics and children's programs, and our free-form pool is surrounded by a spacious deck, lounge chairs, and poolside dining. Just steps away is the Pool House Grill, serving up refreshing beverages, sandwiches, icy treats, and more. The culinary team prepares scrumptious cuisine year-round in The Clubhouse and on the Terrace, and our social calendar is filled with barbecues, wine tastings, casual nights, pool parties, card games and so much more!
