The 9-hole short game facility also designed by Player is part of the Club’s renowned teaching program.  The State-of-the-Art Teaching Center is open year-round and operated by passionate teaching professionals that truly customize the experience for the membership.

About Golf Kitchen
The Golf Kitchen concept was born in 2010 at a meeting at Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton and three years later Diana DeLucia completed and published her first book and proof of concept titled Golf Club World, Behind the Gates.  The recipes and culinary stories proved to be very popular and the Golf Kitchen book concept was realized.
The first Golf Kitchen book was launched at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York with a star-studded line up of private golf and country club chefs globally, cooking a food and wine tasting for the members and guests that will always be a night to remember. This was quickly followed by a similar event at Cassique at Kiawah Island Club, South Carolina. It was here the magazine concept was born, and Golf Kitchen Magazine is now in its second year and has evolved into an upscale biannual publication.
Golf Kitchen Punta Mita followed with a four-day golf and culinary extravaganza hosted in Punta Mita, Mexico - which boasts both Four Seasons and St. Regis on the property and two renowned Jack Nicklaus Signature-designed golf courses, Pacifico and Bahia - followed in April of 2018 and 2019.
The Golf Kitchen Culinary Excellence Awards launched at Edgewood Country Club in New Jersey on October 4th, 2018 and now has a new home at the prestigious GlenArbor Golf Club, in Bedford, New York.  The second book in the Golf Kitchen series is titled Golf Kitchen Americas and will launch pre-Christmas, 2019. (date TBA, pre-orders available)
