Blue Hill Golf Club

Blue Hill Golf Club's Woodland course sits in Pearl River, a suburban community in Rockland County roughly twenty miles north of Manhattan. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the lower Hudson Valley, where modest elevation changes and mature tree cover shape the playing corridors. Stephen Kay and Frank Duane designed the layout, working within the property's natural contours to create a routing that moves through wooded sections and more open areas. The design reflects a traditional parkland approach suited to the region's topography. The course serves a private membership drawn largely from the surrounding Rockland and Bergen County areas. Blue Hill functions as a family-oriented club where golf operates alongside social and recreational amenities typical of suburban country clubs in the New York metropolitan region. The Woodland name distinguishes this layout from other facilities that may exist on the property or have existed historically, though the course itself represents the primary golf offering at the club. Play here emphasizes accuracy off the tee, as tree-lined fairways reward positioning over distance. The design incorporates natural features including streams and elevation changes that add variety to the shot-making requirements. Green complexes vary in size and contour, demanding thoughtful approach play. The course provides a solid test for members while remaining accessible to a range of skill levels, a balance common to established private clubs in the region.
