Behind Closed Doors: Sleepy Hollow’s Opulent Home on the Hudson

Sleepy Hollow Country Club’s centerpiece is Woodlea, one of the last surviving Vanderbilt mansions turned clubhouse. Nestled on the Hudson, this sprawling estate boasts three McKim, Mead & White–designed buildings (including stables and the golf-course maintenance facility) and all the grand architectural flourishes you’d expect from Gilded Age royalty.

In a guided tour with member Brendan O’Rourke and GM Paul Brock, you’ll peek inside the mansion’s sumptuous rooms, wander its formal gardens, explore locker-room bars, even learn about overnight stays and hidden nooks across the property. It’s an insider’s look at how one of America’s most iconic homes became a one-of-a-kind golf experience.
