Welcome to the Gift of Life International
2025 Golf Invitational
As the sun set over Sebonack Golf Club two years ago, all of us who golfed realized we were part of something greater—a day not just of sport but of profound purpose. Thanks to the generosity of you and other golfers who participated in our event at Sebonack in October 2023, 100 children with heart disease from emerging countries were provided lifesaving care they otherwise would never have received. This year, we continue driving hope forward at the Plandome Country Club with the goal of saving more precious hearts.
Not only is Gift of Life Invitational celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Gift of Life Global Network this year, we are proud to announce our second Gift of Life International Classic. It combines a love for golf with a commitment to save lives. The Plandome course is one of Long Island’s finest and serves as the backdrop for our event this year. It’s rich history and challenging layout promise an unforgettable experience for all who participate.
Corporate executives, clients, prospective clients, and friends come together to enjoy a day of golf while supporting our wonderful mission of healing little hearts around the world. Each drive, chip and putt contributes to funding life-saving surgeries for children with heart disease. The success of our event depends upon the collective effort of selfless volunteers, golfers, and sponsors.
Together, we will heal the heart of the most important child of all - the next one. We look forward to seeing you at this special event.

About & Directions
The story of Plandome Country Club began as an afterthought. When the founding fathers acquired the central portion of the Leeds estate in 1928, their vision was to develop a prestigious residential community extending along Stonytown Road from Plandome Road to Port Washington Boulevard. However, the Stock Market Crash of 1929 altered their plans, leading to the establishment of a golf club instead. This change of course proved fortuitous, as Plandome
Country Club now stands as one of Nassau County's most picturesque and challenging golf courses, with its opening hole regarded as one of the toughest in the Met Area.
The Plandome Golf Club engaged Orrin Smith, a relatively unknown architect from New Britain, Connecticut, to design the course. By July 1930, Smith had finalized his plans, and the course was officially opened on Decoration Day, May 31, 1931. Smith's design skillfully incorporated the site's natural beauty, preserving many of the existing trees and plantings while fitting eighteen holes into the 107-acre property.
Initially, Plandome was known for its English-style ambiance and shared a reciprocal arrangement with the Garden City Country Club. The original Leeds farmhouse—a grand, three-story white clapboard structure with distinctive pillared architecture—served as the clubhouse, with the second floor reserved exclusively for ladies. Unfortunately, on December 23, 1958, a devastating fire during a snowstorm caused $350,000 in damage and claimed the life of the club’s night watchman. This led to the construction of the current brick clubhouse with its circular entrance drive.
In 1955, the club underwent significant reorganization, with the new Plandome Country Club acquiring the golf course and buildings from the Plandome Golf Club, thus preventing the property from being sold for real estate development.
Recent Improvements
Recent upgrades at Plandome include the installation of elegant mahogany lockers for the men and the addition of a unique nineteenth hole a legitimate par-3 situated between the original seventeenth green and eighteenth tee enhancing the course's appeal and challenge.
