Chartered in October 1922, Leewood Golf Club is one of the oldest Westchester golf clubs with a rich tradition in local history. Among the charter members were D.W. Griffith, director of film classics The Birth of a Nation and Intolerance, and the honorable Frederick P. Close, a Justice of the New York State Supreme Court and for many years Presiding Justice of its Appellate Division. The first President of the club was George W. Field, a Scarsdale resident who was a prominent New York attorney and a director of the Scarsdale National Bank. Situated precariously on a mass of boulders, many of them related to the famous Tuckahoe marble used in some of our great national buildings including the Washington Monument, the builders faced a formidable task in carving out a suitable golf course. The challenge was met by the first club professional, Carl Fox, who laid out and constructed the course aided by a corps of members who gave up their weekends to dig holes and bury boulders so that machines could be brought in to cut the rough and fairways. Many of the holes that they created, with supervision by the famous Long Island golf architect, Devereaux Emmet, who did the Garden City Golf Club and Wee Burn in Darien, are little changed today.
