Vista at Grossingers Country Club

Vista at Grossinger's Country Club represents one of A.W. Tillinghast's Depression-era designs in the Catskill Mountains region of Sullivan County. The course was part of the larger Grossinger's resort complex, which became one of the most prominent destinations in the Borscht Belt during the mid-twentieth century. Tillinghast routed the course across rolling terrain characteristic of the lower Catskills, working with natural elevation changes and wooded corridors that define the playing corridors.

The layout reflects Tillinghast's strategic principles adapted to a resort setting, with fairways that reward thoughtful positioning and greens that feature his characteristic contouring and bunkering schemes. The course moves through a mix of open and tree-lined holes, taking advantage of the property's natural topography to create variety in both shot values and visual presentation. The terrain provides natural drainage and firm playing conditions when maintained properly.

Grossinger's resort reached its peak popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, serving as a cultural hub for Jewish families from New York City and hosting numerous entertainers and athletes. The golf course was part of this broader social fabric, though it operated primarily as an amenity for resort guests rather than as a tournament venue. The resort closed in 1986, and the property has changed hands several times since, with the course's current operational status reflecting the broader economic challenges facing the region's historic resort properties.
