Richmond County Country Club boasts first-class amenities, a championship golf course, a state-of-the-art aquatic facility and newly renovated fitness center, eight Har-Tru tennis courts with a pavilion, an exciting Bocce League, exquisite dining options, exceptional service, impressive events, and picturesque views of the surrounding Harbor. Since 1888, RCCC has been known around the world for its rich tradition and family values. In 2021, RCCC completed an exciting renovation of our Golf Clubhouse campus featuring prestigious locker rooms with an abundance of amenities for members and guests.

Golf arrived at RCCC in 1894. The growing popularity of the sport was led by George Hunter, George Armstrong, and James Park. These three Englishmen had begun golfing over the Fox Hills in the fall of the previous year. Hunter and Armstrong were members at St. Andrew’s, and participated in the “unofficial” amateur championship of 1894. These ambitious, pioneer golfers designed a 9-hole course, and Hunter donated a medal. This medal has been awarded to the finalist in the qualifying round of the club championship since 1895, and remains one of the oldest medals in continuous competition in American golf.

In 1897, RCCC moved to its present location on the Dongan Hills to accommodate the rising interest in golf. A new 9-hole course was built, and a second 9-hole course was created the following season. The present clubhouse was acquired from a lavish estate that belonged to a shipping magnate who enjoyed watching his ships enter New York Harbor from his porch.

In 1989, the State of New York demonstrated its sincere interest in Staten Island’s Green Belt by purchasing the golf course, then giving RCCC a 99-year lease. This provided an opportunity for the Club to finance noticeable course enhancements, cover annual maintenance costs, and build a modern Clubhouse adjacent to the pristine, championship golf course.

To this day, Richmond County Country Club continues the vision of excellence established by its Founding Members, and proudly provides first-class amenities and state-of-the-art facilities in the heart of Staten Island.
