The member-owned club was established in what was then the spacious fields of upper Manhattan at 180th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. As the city grew, the club changed locations three times in search of better accommodations and less congestion as construction began encroaching on its space.

It came to its present location on Harding Avenue many years ago in the highly desirable area of Throggs Neck, hailed as one of the most pleasant areas in New York.

Since its inception, the club's popularity has grown steadily as word spread of its fine facilities and its primary concern for the comfort to its members. As host of many tournaments it was, at one time, the favored sports refuge of such luminaries as Theodore Roosevelt, George M. Cohan, George & Ira Gershwin, Babe Didrikson, Fanny Brice, Jimmy Walker and Walter Winchell.

Throughout the years it has maintained its reputation for its restful, laid-back atmosphere, the congeniality of its members and its professional approach to what has become a truly popular sport.

It is a true haven in a country setting in a quiet corner of the city where members can play as much tennis as they want on six, professional, Har-Tru courts.

Members can soak up sun on lush lawns surrounded by lovely flower gardens, sit in the shade of trees or have lunch on the covered patio which leads to a fully equipped clubhouse offering eating facilities, locker rooms and showers.

A professional tennis staff is available for group or private instruction, ranging from beginner to advanced player ability and there is ample parking on the club's private grounds.
