West at Winged Foot Golf Club

Winged Foot’s West Course stands as a formidable monument to championship golf, its demanding character etched into the very fabric of American golf history. The course, nestled in the rolling terrain of Mamaroneck, presents a stern test where par is always a worthy score.

A classic example of Golden Age architecture, the West was conceived by A.W. Tillinghast. Its strategic bunkering, crowned greens, and subtly contoured fairways demand both power and precision. Rees Jones has overseen significant restorations, ensuring the course maintains its strategic integrity while adapting to the modern game. The fairways favor those who can work the ball both ways, and the course rewards strategic placement over raw power.

Winged Foot has hosted numerous U.S. Opens, including memorable victories by Bobby Jones (1929), Billy Casper (1959), Hale Irwin (1974), Fuzzy Zoeller (1984), and Geoff Ogilvy (2006), and most recently Bryson DeChambeau (2020). These championships have added to the club's storied past and have cemented its place as a true test of golf.

Beyond the course, Winged Foot maintains a vibrant and exclusive membership, known for its passionate golfers and rich traditions. A standing lunchtime tradition is the club’s famed “Winged Foot Burger,” a culinary staple that fuels countless rounds and post-game analyses. It remains a course held in the highest regard, a testament to classic design and championship pedigree.
