Old Oaks Country Club

Old Oaks Country Club sits in Purchase, a hamlet in the town of Harrison in Westchester County, roughly thirty miles north of Manhattan. The course was designed by A.W. Tillinghast and opened in the 1920s during his prolific period of work in the New York metropolitan area. Tillinghast routed the layout over rolling terrain characteristic of Westchester's wooded landscape, incorporating natural elevation changes and mature tree corridors that define playing corridors and frame strategic decisions from the tee. The course underwent renovation work by the firm Finger Dye Spann, which modified aspects of the design while maintaining the essential character of Tillinghast's routing. The layout features the kind of green complexes and bunkering philosophy typical of Tillinghast's approach—undulating putting surfaces with strategic flanking hazards that reward precise approach play and penalize misses. The property's tree-lined character and topographic variety create distinct holes that shift direction and elevation throughout the round. Old Oaks operates as a private country club serving members from Westchester County and the broader New York area. The club maintains traditional country club amenities beyond golf, including tennis and social facilities. Its location in Purchase places it among a concentration of private clubs in lower Westchester, and it functions primarily as a membership club for families in the region rather than as a tournament venue with significant competitive history.
