Saxon Woods Course
Scarsdale, NY, USA



Nestled in the heart of Westchester County, Saxon Woods Golf Course offers a publicly accessible landscape that has challenged and delighted golfers since its inception. Carved from the rolling hills of Scarsdale, the classic parkland layout, originally conceived during the mid-century era, provides a traditional test defined by tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers. The course favors accuracy over sheer distance, rewarding those who can navigate the subtle doglegs and undulating greens. Architect Tom Winton shaped the original design, creating a playable yet engaging experience for golfers of all skill levels. While not the stage for professional championships, Saxon Woods has long served as a cherished community asset, hosting local tournaments and fostering a vibrant amateur golfing scene. The membership has had a history of some of the region's more tenancious mid-ams. Saxon Woods distinguishes itself not through architectural novelty or national acclaim, but through its accessibility and commitment to the community. The club is noted for a welcoming atmosphere for families and new golfers. The friendly vibe and value continues to make it a popular haven from the private clubs in the region. While course lore remains less prominent than at other, more storied clubs, the appeal of Saxon Woods lies in its unpretentious approachability, where a solid round and good company takes precedence over pedigree and pretension. You’ll find a membership where good times and laughter can always be found.
