Century Country Club

Century Country Club sits in Purchase, New York, in Westchester County just north of New York City. The course originated from the work of the renowned British design team of Harry S. Colt and C. H. Alison in the 1920s, during their influential period shaping American golf architecture. Robert Trent Jones Sr. later contributed modifications to the layout, adding his characteristic strategic elements to the Colt-Alison foundation. This blend of Golden Age design principles and mid-century American refinement creates a course that reflects multiple eras of architectural thought. The routing moves across rolling Westchester terrain typical of the region, with mature tree-lined fairways and elevation changes that provide natural strategic interest. The property features the kind of parkland character common to established northeastern clubs, with hardwoods framing holes and creating defined corridors of play. The greens retain the subtle contouring and thoughtful bunkering associated with Colt's design philosophy, emphasizing precision in approach play. Century Country Club operates as a private club serving its membership in the competitive Westchester golf community. The club maintains the traditional country club model with facilities beyond golf, including tennis and social amenities. Its location in Purchase places it among several other notable Westchester clubs, contributing to the area's reputation as a concentrated region of quality golf course architecture within convenient reach of Manhattan.
