We could not confirm that The Woodmere Club is currently taking weddings. On one side, the weddings page still loads and still invites couples to contact the banquet manager, and the club's listings on The Knot and WeddingWire still accept quote requests. On the other, the club's own homepage returned a server error when we fetched it on 10 September 2026, and a report dated 15 January 2026 says the former Woodmere Club golf course is no longer operating as a club. A settlement finalized in December 2025 cleared a redevelopment plan for the land.
The only dollar figure attached to this club is a $500 ceremony fee on WeddingWire, which the club has never confirmed. Everything else routes to a quote request. Given the redevelopment settlement and the January 2026 report, we would not send a deposit here without a signed contract and a conversation about what happens to it if the club closes.
We read the club's weddings page and a second club domain, its The Knot and WeddingWire listings, a January 2026 redevelopment report and a CBS News item, all on 10 September 2026. Checked September 2026. First party means the venue’s own site or rate card; marketplace means The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, Wedding Spot or similar. Nothing here is averaged or estimated.
The land has been sold and a January 2026 report says it no longer operates as a club, so confirm by phone that a future date is real before any money changes hands.
The property has been at the center of a long running redevelopment fight. According to a January 2026 account, a settlement finalized in December 2025 cleared a plan that confines construction to roughly 34 acres along Broadway and preserves about 100 acres as coastal habitat.
That is a plan for a golf course that becomes something else. The same account states the former course is no longer operating as a club, which is the single most important sentence anyone has published about this venue.
A Long Island Herald story about the club closing earlier than planned returned a 403 error and we could not read it, so we are not relying on it for anything. We name it only so you know it exists and can look for it yourself.
On 10 September 2026 the club's homepage returned an HTTP 500 error. The weddings page on the same domain loaded normally and solicited wedding inquiries, naming a banquet manager as the contact. A second domain resolves to the same content.
We are not linking the club's site here, because a homepage that throws a server error is not a site we will send a reader to. That combination, a broken front door and a working sales page, is exactly what an unmaintained website looks like after an operator's attention has moved elsewhere.
Both marketplace listings are also still live and still accepting quote requests. A live listing is a directory record, not proof that anyone is answering the phone.
The club's weddings page offers in house menus that are either non Kosher or Kosher style, and separately allows a couple to bring in an outside Kosher caterer. Among Nassau country clubs that combination is rare, and for some families it is the whole reason a venue makes the list.
WeddingWire adds that outside vendors are permitted, without naming a fee. No approved vendor list and no outside vendor charge is published by the club.
If the Kosher route is why you are here, that is one more reason to confirm the club's status before you build a shortlist around it.
The Knot files the venue in a 251 to 300 band. WeddingWire says up to 300, with up to 350 in some spaces. The club's own copy says only that it accommodates hundreds of guests. Three sources, three shapes of the same claim, and we are printing all three rather than picking one.
The named rooms are a Grand Ballroom, a Grille Room overlooking the 18th hole with a view toward Long Beach, and a lodge style Main Bar. WeddingWire refers to four event spaces without naming the fourth. No room by room capacities are published anywhere.
The clubhouse is described by the club as a recently renovated Colonial mansion around a hundred years old. No founding year, architect or course designer appears on the club site. The club's own copy puts the drive at roughly 35 minutes from Manhattan.
No sentence on the club site states a membership or member sponsor requirement. No sentence states that non members are welcome either. What exists is a public facing weddings page with a banquet manager's contact details, in house and outside Kosher catering options, and two live marketplace listings that take quote requests from anyone.
WeddingWire lists a $500 peak season ceremony site fee and no reception site fee, with no membership caveat attached. That is a marketplace figure and the club has never confirmed it.
On the balance of published evidence, we record this as a club that takes outside weddings. We would still put the membership question in the same phone call as the status question, because both answers come from the same person and you need both before you plan anything.
Suppose the weddings operation is running normally and takes your booking for next autumn. The question that matters is what the paperwork says if the property changes hands, or the clubhouse shuts, before your date arrives.
Ask for the cancellation and force majeure language before you ask about menus. Ask what happens to the deposit when the club, and not the couple, is the party that cannot perform. Ask who the counterparty on the contract actually is, because the company that owns the land and the company that sells the weddings may no longer be the same one.
Ask if deposits are held in escrow. Most catering contracts on Long Island are drafted to protect the house, and a venue sitting behind a redevelopment settlement is precisely the case those clauses were never written for.
None of that is an accusation. The weddings page is still up, the Kosher option is still unusual for Nassau, and clubs do run events for years after a sale. It is simply a venue where twenty minutes of a lawyer's time is cheaper than the alternative.
