A 270 seat ballroom over Long Island Sound in Mamaroneck, open to club members and to couples a member sponsors.
Hampshire takes weddings from club members and from couples a member sponsors. The line is on both of the club’s own event pages: the offer is available to club members and to those sponsored by club members, with the private events page narrowing it to golf club members and their sponsored guests. If nobody at the club knows your name, this is a phone call about sponsorship before it is a venue tour. Behind that gate sits a 35,000 square foot clubhouse on Cove Road in Mamaroneck. The grand ballroom seats up to 270, a bridal suite and a groomsman room sit off it, and a new patio looks over Long Island Sound and the golf course. The club publishes no prices at all and routes everything through 914-698-4610. There is a second thing to raise on that call. The property has been in court with the Village of Mamaroneck for years over a plan to build housing on the land. As of 9 September 2026 the club’s case is in its fifth year, with a $58 million damages claim outstanding.
Hampshire publishes no figures at all: no rate, no minimum, no fee. The only number on the club’s own pages is the ballroom capacity of 270, and the only route to a price is a call and a tour. When you make that call, settle the sponsorship question first, because a quote you are not eligible to use wastes a morning. Then get the minimum, the service charge and the tax treatment in writing, and ask what the deposit terms say about a change of ownership or use.
On hampshireclub.com we read the home page, the weddings page and the private events page, all on 11 September 2026. We also read trade coverage of the 2010 sale, a report on a 2022 court ruling, a September 2026 report on the appeal, and the development project’s own about page. Checked September 2026. First party means the business’s own site or rate card. Marketplace means The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, Wedding Spot or similar. Nothing here is averaged or estimated.
Events are limited to club members and couples a member sponsors, and the club’s own pages say so. The property is also in its fifth year of litigation with the Village of Mamaroneck over a 121 unit housing plan, with a $58 million claim outstanding as of 9 September 2026.
The weddings page and the private events page carry the same condition, in the club’s own words: the offer is available to club members and to those sponsored by club members. The private events version narrows it to golf club members and those they sponsor. There is no public route around that sentence anywhere on the club’s site, and no public event inquiry form.
WeddingWire and Eventective both list Hampshire. The WeddingWire listing carries no membership condition at all. That mismatch is the whole reason we check a club’s own pages before we check a marketplace. If you found this venue on a listing site and nobody mentioned sponsorship, the listing site left it out.
The clubhouse runs to 35,000 square feet after a recent update. The grand ballroom seats up to 270, and the club lists a bridal suite, a groomsman room and sitting rooms alongside it. The patio is new and looks over both the water and the course. Outdoor grounds are used for cocktails and photographs.
What the club does not publish is a breakdown. It says smaller spaces exist for smaller occasions without naming or sizing them. There is no separate ceremony capacity and no cocktail figure. If your guest list is close to 270, ask which layout that number assumes, and whether it leaves room for a dance floor and a band.
Catering is in house. Plated dinners, buffets and hors d’oeuvre receptions, with custom menus built alongside an in house planner the club names. Kosher style, gluten free and nut free options are offered, which is a real advantage if your guest list needs them and you would rather not import a caterer.
No approved vendor list is published and no outside caterer policy is stated, so the rules for a band, a florist or an outside dessert are unknown. The club also publishes no service charge, no administrative fee and no tax treatment. Ask for all of it in one document rather than in pieces.
One thing this club offers that a catering hall cannot: golf outings can be added for the wedding party, on the same property, around the same weekend. For a group travelling in on a Friday, that turns a rehearsal dinner into a two day arrangement without anybody getting in a car.
No pricing or minimum for outings is published, and the club describes them only as an option. Ask what an outing costs per player, how many tee times can be held, and whether member play takes priority on a Saturday morning. Ask whether the sponsoring member has to be present for it, and whether guests may use the club at all outside the hours of the event itself.
Hampshire publishes no founding year. What is documented is the recent ownership history. The club’s assets were put up for sale in 2009 after financial trouble. The property, about 106 to 116 acres, sold for $12.1 million on 17 June 2010, to a joint venture of Westport Capital Partners and New World Realty Advisors. Hampshire Recreation acquired it and reopened it in 2010. No course architect is published by the club or by the trade reports we read.
This is the part a brochure will not raise. The property has been the subject of a residential development fight for years. A New York State Supreme Court ruling on 17 November 2022 allowed the club to resume its bid to build 105 homes. As of 9 September 2026, an Appellate Court ruling has pushed the club’s case against the Village of Mamaroneck into its fifth year, with a $58 million damages claim outstanding.
The current proposal, The Residences at Hampshire, is for 121 condominiums for residents aged 55 and over, with the 18 hole course preserved. The course is reported still operational. None of that means your wedding will not happen. It does mean that if you are booking 18 or 24 months out, you should ask what happens to your date and your deposit if the property changes hands or changes use. Ask for that answer inside the contract rather than over the phone.
There is no per person rate, no site fee, no food and beverage minimum, no service charge and no end time anywhere on the club’s pages. Pricing goes through 914-698-4610 and a tour. There is no published rain policy either, although an indoor ballroom and a covered patio both exist, which is a practical answer even if the club has not written it down as one.
So load the first call. Confirm the sponsorship requirement and what counts as sponsorship. Get a written quote with the minimum, the service charge and the tax treatment on it. Ask whether more than one event can run in the clubhouse on your date. Then ask about the litigation, and listen to how carefully the answer is phrased.
