Westchester Country Club

Westchester Country Club’s South Course is a robust testament to the Golden Age of golf course architecture, demanding strategic thinking and precise execution across its rolling, tree-lined terrain in Rye, New York. The course favors players who can work the ball, navigating doglegs and strategically placed bunkers that guard undulating greens. A premium is placed on approach shots that are precise, rewarding those who can accurately judge distances and manage the varying slopes of the greens. Designed by Walter Travis, with later refinements by Rees Jones, the South Course's pedigree is beyond reproach. Its classic design features emphasize shot-making over sheer power, a hallmark of the era in which it was conceived. The course has hosted numerous significant championships including several iterations of the Barclays, showcasing its ability to challenge the best players in the game. The South Course enjoys a place of high standing within the greater New York metropolitan area and northeast corridor, known for its challenging layout and impeccable conditioning. The club itself fosters a membership deeply rooted in tradition, where the echoes of past champions resonate with each round played. After a round, many a golfer has been found in the club, regaling stories of shots made and lost.
