Manhattan Woods Golf Club

Manhattan Woods Golf Club opened in 1996 in West Nyack, New York, designed by Gary Player with renovation work by Stephen Kay. The course occupies rolling, wooded terrain in Rockland County, roughly twenty-five miles north of Manhattan, making it one of the more accessible upscale daily-fee facilities for golfers in the New York metropolitan area. The property's natural topography and mature tree cover shape the character of the layout, with elevation changes and narrow corridors through hardwood forests defining many holes. The routing moves through varied terrain, with several holes playing along ridgelines and others descending into lower-lying areas. Water comes into play on multiple holes, and the design incorporates strategic bunkering around greens and landing areas. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees, providing length and challenge for accomplished players while offering forward tee options for a range of skill levels. Manhattan Woods operates as a semi-private facility, hosting both member and daily-fee play. The club features a full practice area and clubhouse amenities typical of upscale golf properties in the region. Its location near the Palisades Interstate Parkway and proximity to New York City have made it a popular choice for corporate outings and weekend rounds among golfers from the metropolitan area. The course has maintained a presence in regional golf discussions since its opening, representing the Player design firm's work in the Northeast.
