Siwanoy Country Club

Siwanoy Country Club, a Westchester institution, whispers of leisurely afternoons and traditional values, offering a respite from the city's clamor just north of the Bronx. The course itself presents a classic, parkland-style challenge, built across gently rolling hills dotted with mature hardwoods. While not exceedingly long, Siwanoy rewards strategic play and a deft touch around the greens, favoring those who can shape the ball and manage their approach shots with care. The tight, tree-lined fairways subtly penalize wayward drives, demanding thoughtful course management rather than brute force. Designed by the esteemed Devereux Emmet, a name synonymous with Golden Age charm, Siwanoy's layout has been thoughtfully preserved, maintaining its character and strategic integrity. Emmet, known for his ability to create engaging courses that blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, imbued Siwanoy with a timeless quality. While the course has seen subtle refinements over the years, the spirit of Emmet's original design endures, offering a satisfying test for golfers of all skill levels. Siwanoy’s membership, drawn from the surrounding enclaves, maintains a distinctly familial atmosphere. Known for its unpretentious elegance, the club is said to be the only golf club in the nation, that began as a tennis club. The club has long been a sought after institution.
