Behind Closed Doors at Sleepy Hollow Country Club, you get an exclusive peek at Woodlea—the only surviving Vanderbilt mansion now serving as a golf clubhouse. Designed by McKim, Mead & White, this Hudson River estate isn’t just about grand ballrooms and horse stables; it’s been reimagined into lush gardens, a championship course, locker rooms with custom drinks, and even overnight stays that blend 19th-century opulence with modern club life.
Guided by member Brendan O’Rourke and GM Paul Brock, the tour dives into Sleepy Hollow’s storied past (0:37), the mansion’s lavish interiors (2:24), garden and course design (4:31), club amenities (6:12), on-site lodging (8:17), plus behind-the-scenes glimpses of course operations (10:28) before wrapping up with parting thoughts at 13:18. It’s a one-of-a-kind journey through golf history and high society on the Hudson.
