Founded in 1901, Shelter Island Country Club—affectionately known as Goat Hill—is one of Long Island Golf's true hidden gems. Perched atop rolling terrain with sweeping views of the surrounding island, our 9-hole public course offers an inviting, community-focused golf experience that blends tradition with charm. Nestled in the heart of Shelter Island, just a ferry ride away from the Hamptons and some of the most iconic golf destinations in the world, SICC has carved out its own legacy over more than a century.

Goat Hill is more than just a course—it's a cultural fixture. Our staff, many of whom are multigenerational Islanders, embody the welcoming and spirited character of Shelter Island itself. Whether you're a local junior golfer, a summer regular, or a visiting pro seeking a relaxed round, you’ll find warm company and a vibrant atmosphere here. It’s not unusual to see well-known golf professionals dropping by for a loop, drawn by the club’s authenticity, pace, and old-school appeal.

The layout is fun, fast, and deceptively tricky. With quirky greens, dramatic elevation changes, and postcard-worthy sunsets, the course is a perfect blend of casual and competitive. 

Shelter Island Country Club is where golf meets community—welcoming, unpretentious, and proudly local. Whether you’re swinging through for a round or seeking to be part of something rooted in tradition and camaraderie, Goat Hill is the place.
