About this course

Pelham Country Club, nestled in the rolling hills of Westchester County, is a classic, old-line establishment where tradition trumps trend. Its meticulously maintained grounds evoke an earlier era of American golf. Carved from the region’s characteristic, gently undulating terrain, the course presents a strategic, rather than overpowering challenge. Subtle breaks on the greens and strategically placed bunkers, more than raw length, define the test. The original layout, a product of Devereux Emmet's early 20th century genius, has seen thoughtful enhancements over the years, preserving its inherent character. While not a regular fixture on the professional circuit, Pelham has played host to numerous regional amateur events, fostering a competitive spirit amongst its membership. Pelham remains a cherished haven for its membership, largely comprised of local families and business leaders. It's a club where a handshake still carries weight, and the post-round camaraderie is as valued as the score itself. Beyond the course, the club is renowned for its Sunday brunch, a longstanding tradition that's as much a part of the Pelham experience as the perfectly manicured fairways. The club quietly holds its place as a significant, though perhaps unsung, example of enduring golf design and community. It has cultivated a deep-rooted membership dedicated to tradition, family, and the classic game.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Pelham Country Club touch down at Westchester County Airport, a discreet executive gateway less than ten miles north, though many international visitors route through LaGuardia or JFK before making the short drive into lower Westchester. The approach from Manhattan - a swift twenty-minute run up the Hutchinson River Parkway - trades the city's vertical thrust for leafy residential streets and the quiet, old-money calm of Pelham Manor. As you turn onto Shore Road, the landscape opens toward Long Island Sound, and the club's understated entrance reveals itself with the kind of restraint that has defined this enclave since 1908.
