West Hill Course
Somers Pointe Golf Club
About this course
West Hill at Somers Pointe Golf Club occupies rolling terrain in northern Westchester County, approximately forty miles north of New York City. Geoffrey Cornish, the prolific New England-based architect who designed or redesigned hundreds of courses across the Northeast during the mid-twentieth century, routed this layout through wooded property characteristic of the region. Cornish's work typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while respecting natural topography, and his designs often featured strategic bunkering and greens that rewarded thoughtful approach play. The course navigates elevation changes and mature tree-lined corridors common to Westchester County golf. Somers sits in a transitional zone between suburban development and more rural landscapes to the north, and the property reflects this setting with a mix of open and forested areas. The routing likely takes advantage of natural contours to create variety in hole character and shot requirements. Somers Pointe operates as a semi-private facility, serving both members and daily-fee players. This dual access model is common in the New York metropolitan area, where demand for public-access golf remains strong. The club provides a regional option for golfers seeking a Cornish design without traveling to more remote locations in New England, where much of his portfolio is concentrated. The course serves the local golfing community in northern Westchester and adjacent Putnam County.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Somers Pointe Golf Club route through Westchester County Airport in White Plains, a discreet twenty-minute drive north into the rolling woodlands of northern Westchester County. The journey traces quiet two-lane roads that climb gently away from the suburban corridor, passing stone walls and horse farms as the landscape opens into something older and more pastoral. For those traveling from Manhattan or Connecticut, the drive rarely exceeds an hour, yet the transition feels complete - by the time you reach the club's gates in Somers, the city's hum has given way to the stillness of country golf.
