About this course
Quaker Ridge is where metropolitan refinement meets a relentlessly challenging golf course, a place where titans of industry and legends of the game have walked the fairways since its inception. Carved into the rolling hills of Scarsdale, New York, this classic Golden Age design, born from the vision of A.W. Tillinghast, presents a stern test that favors strategic prowess over brute force. The course offers generous landing areas with approaches often requiring skillful negotiation of strategically placed bunkers guarding the putting surfaces. Tillinghast's masterpiece has been respectfully updated over the years, with subtle enhancements by Rees Jones ensuring the course remains relevant for the modern game. Quaker Ridge demands intelligent shot-making and a thoughtful approach, especially on the famed "Amen Corner" of holes 13, 14 and 15. Quaker Ridge has hosted the 1997 Walker Cup and the 2018 Curtis Cup, solidifying its position as a respected venue for amateur competition. While it might not command the international spotlight as frequently as some of its contemporaries, its reputation among discerning golfers remains firmly intact. Known for its understated elegance, the club fostered a membership historically drawn from New York's business elite and passionate golfers, bound by a shared appreciation for the traditions of the game and the club's unwavering commitment to excellence. Many a business deal and important decision, it is said, was brokered on its back nine followed by a well earned Manhattan in the clubhouse.

Getting there
The journey to Quaker Ridge Golf Club begins at one of the New York metro area's three major gateways - most commonly Westchester County Airport for private arrivals or LaGuardia and JFK for commercial travelers - followed by a brief northward passage into lower Westchester County. The drive from Manhattan, rarely more than forty minutes in favorable traffic, traces the Hutchinson River Parkway or Bronx River Parkway through increasingly leafy suburbs, the urban density gradually yielding to the manicured estates and tree-canopied lanes of Scarsdale. The final turn onto Weaver Street reveals little fanfare, only a discreet entrance that has welcomed members and their guests since 1926, the club's Georgian clubhouse sitting quietly atop its storied Tillinghast terrain.
