The Creek was such a cool layout. Really enjoyed the history of the property, especially the old cemetery tucked between holes. Unfortunately, it was extremely foggy the day we played, so I missed out on some of the views of Long Island Sound.

You’ve seen the pictures of 16 all over the internet, but the rest of the course is equally thrilling. Massive piece of property with an out and back routing that traverses hills, canyons, rivers, ponds, and rocky outcroppings.

Great routing located above the banks of the Hudson River. Course offers a great routing with scenic views, especially on the Par-3 16th hole.

Another phenomenal club I was fortunate enough to play right after The Creek. Much larger property, but the routing and layout are top notch. Template holes galore including the OG American Biarritz.

A ball strikers paradise on a true par 70. The routing is an outside/inside, similar to HCEG, here, the front nine is counterclockwise. Centerline obstacles, trees, a meandering creek, and typical Westchester County terrain all factor into the routing.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s layout rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Layout is the layout score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs layout ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Stamford, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
