Fenway Golf Club


About this course
Fenway Golf Club is a testament to early American golf design, a compact and engaging layout nestled in the heart of Scarsdale. The course is a classic example of Golden Age architecture, shaped by A.W. Tillinghast in 1924, and later refined by Charles Banks. The gently rolling parkland terrain, punctuated by subtly contoured greens and strategic bunkering, presents a deceptively challenging test that favors thoughtful shotmaking. While Fenway has never hosted a major championship, its influence lies in its enduring appeal to a discerning membership drawn from Westchester County and beyond. The club is known for its tight-knit community and unpretentious atmosphere. An interesting tidbit about Fenway is that it was originally designed to be longer, but land constraints forced Tillinghast to create a more strategic, shorter course. This limitation, however, became its strength, demanding precision and creativity from golfers of all levels. It is a testament that a course doesn’t need to be 7500 yards to be enjoyed by all.

Getting there
Fenway Golf Club sits in the heart of Westchester County, accessible most directly from LaGuardia Airport (LGA) or Newark Liberty International (EWR), each roughly 30 to 40 minutes north depending on traffic patterns across the metropolitan area. For those arriving by private aviation, Westchester County Airport (HPN) in White Plains offers a considerably more discreet entry point, a mere 10 minutes from the club's Scarsdale location. The drive from any of these gateways carries you through the leafy suburbs north of New York City, where tree-lined avenues and stone walls signal your passage into one of the Northeast's most established golf communities, before arriving at Fenway's understated entrance - a fitting gateway to a club whose quiet prominence has long defined American golf's most selective circles.
