Dunwoodie Golf Course

About this course
Dunwoodie Golf Course, a steadfast Yonkers fixture, whispers tales of Metropolitan golf's burgeoning popularity at the dawn of the 20th century. Its rolling hills, carved from Westchester County's undulating terrain, present a parkland experience demanding strategic course management rather than brute force. Doglegs abound, rewarding thoughtful shot placement and deft navigation of the mature tree lines that frame each hole. Originally designed by the esteemed Tom Bendelow, Dunwoodie has undergone subtle refinements over the years, preserving its classic character while accommodating the modern game. While not a stage for major championships, Dunwoodie serves as a vital community hub, fostering a spirit of friendly competition amongst its passionate membership. This accessible layout, beloved for its playability and unpretentious atmosphere, has long served as a proving ground for aspiring local talent and a cherished haunt for generations of Westchester golfers. Post-round, members often gather to partake in the club’s famed "Dunwoodie Dog", a grilled hot dog slathered in a secret chili recipe, a tradition as deeply rooted as the ancient oaks that line the fairways.

Getting there
Dunwoodie Golf Course sits just fifteen miles north of Midtown Manhattan, making it one of the most accessible championship-caliber municipal layouts in the metropolitan area. Most visitors arrive via the Saw Mill River Parkway or the Bronx River Parkway, both offering swift passage from the city through Westchester's leafy suburbs - a drive that rarely exceeds thirty minutes outside rush hour. For those flying in, LaGuardia Airport (LGA) lies roughly twenty minutes south, while Westchester County Airport (HPN) in White Plains offers a quieter alternative just ten miles to the northeast. The final turn onto Wasylenko Lane delivers you to a surprisingly tranquil enclave, where the hum of the city fades beneath the canopy of mature hardwoods framing this storied Yonkers gem.
