After a few players got lost, I pressed the club and was told, they don’t actually have an address! No wonder the GPS directs the drivers to Shore Drive in Kings Point on Manhasset Bay, where you’ll see Hemlock Dr., Central Drive or Mitchell Drive.

.
The easiest way is from either Bayview Avenue or Middle Neck Road, make left turn onto Cedar Drive (Or map this address: 67 Cedar Drive, Great Neck Estate, NY 11020). Make sure it’s not 11204 or Manhasset Bay. Take it to the end, (you’ll see the water) and make a right turn onto Shore Drive. At the end of the road, turn left into the park’s parking lot. The courts are on your right, entering from the club house that is facing the Little Neck Bay.

Please pick up a parking permit from the club – the village police can ticket you in the parking lot.
A friend forward me those two links: a newspaper article and an audio on Oct 22, 2012. Oh well, it’s certainly too late for me to change the venue but not too late for you to display a proper parking permit.

This club will be my Long Island 8.0‘s home base in 2013.

For the city slickers, LIRR is an option (1.5 miles to the club), take the Port Washington branch. As of now, departs fm Penn Station to Great Neck:
7:01 pm – 7:26 pm
7:14 pm – 7:48 pm
I or someone can pick you up.

Sept 24, 2012: I haven’t been there for a long while. It hasn’t changed much, except their courts and club got a face-lift. Reportedly they just opened for business today. There are still wires on the wall.
