Blind Brook at Blind Brook Club

Blind Brook Club sits on rolling terrain in Purchase, New York, approximately thirty miles north of Manhattan in Westchester County. The course was designed by C. B. Macdonald and Seth Raynor in the early 1920s, part of their prolific partnership that brought template holes and strategic design principles to American golf. The property features the natural movement and wooded character typical of Westchester layouts, with the Blind Brook stream influencing several holes and providing the club its name.

The routing follows Macdonald and Raynor's philosophy of presenting golfers with strategic options and template concepts adapted to the land. The course includes versions of their signature hole types—redan, biarritz, and short par fours that reward bold play—though modified over the decades through restoration and renovation work. Stephen Kay has been involved in restoration efforts to reclaim original design intent, while Finger Dye Spann has also contributed to course updates. The layout measures around 6,700 yards from the championship tees and plays as a par 72.

Blind Brook Club has maintained a low profile compared to some of its better-known Westchester neighbors, operating as a private club with a membership drawn largely from the surrounding affluent communities. The course has not hosted major professional championships but serves as a well-regarded example of Macdonald and Raynor's work in the region. The club's setting in Purchase places it among the cluster of established private clubs that define golf in northern Westchester County.
