About The Edison Club
Located at 981 Riverview Road in Rexford, New York, The Edison Club was founded in 1904. The member-owned, private country club offers 27 holes of championship golf, as well as swimming, tennis, banquet, and meeting facilities. Full dining services, along with two on-site bar locations, are enjoyed by members and open to the public.
 
Employees of General Electric first conceived the idea of The Edison Club in 1903, which would come to be named after Thomas Edison who spent many years working at GE in Schenectady. Originally derived as a social club, the present country club was opened in 1925. Initially, the club consisted of an 18-hole golf course, four tennis courts, a combination locker house and recreational area, and a clubhouse that was later called "The Annex." The grand opening of the golf course occurred on Aug. 21, 1926, with a special foursome commencing play on temporary greens.
