About this course

Wykagyl Country Club, nestled in the heart of New Rochelle, NY, stands as a testament to classic American golf, its undulating greens and tree-lined fairways whispering tales of generations past. The Wykagyl course, a product of the early 20th century’s design ethos, presents a parkland-style experience that gently rolls over Westchester County's varied terrain. The course favors strategic play over raw power, its doglegs and subtly sloped greens rewarding thoughtful approaches and a deft touch around the greens. Originally crafted by Donald Ross, Wykagyl has seen careful enhancements over the years, maintaining its classic character while subtly adapting to the modern game. This balance ensures a challenging yet fair test for golfers of all skill levels. While not a frequent host of major championships, Wykagyl remains a respected venue for regional amateur events and club competitions, fostering a competitive spirit amongst its members. The course's enduring appeal lies not just in its design, but in the vibrant community it supports. Wykagyl is known for its strong membership, drawn from the surrounding area. Local lore speaks of countless matches decided over the course's challenging finishing holes, and many a business deal sealed within the clubhouse walls. Beyond the course itself, Wykagyl is perhaps most cherished for its traditions. The club offers a warm setting in an area known for its affluent residences. It is not uncommon to find members relaxing on the patio, enjoying the camaraderie after a round, a testament to the club's enduring spirit.

Getting there

Wykagyl Country Club sits in the heart of Westchester County, accessible within forty minutes from either LaGuardia (LGA) or Newark (EWR), making it one of the most conveniently positioned private clubs in the metropolitan region. The drive from Manhattan traces north through the familiar rhythm of the Hutchinson River Parkway, a corridor that gradually sheds urban density as it winds toward the rolling terrain of New Rochelle, where tree-lined residential streets signal the transition into one of the Northeast's most storied golf communities. For those arriving by private aircraft, Westchester County Airport (HPN) lies just minutes away, offering a discrete alternative to the major hubs. The final approach to Wykagyl unfolds through a leafy enclave where the club's elegant clubhouse and manicured grounds emerge as a serene counterpoint to the suburban landscape beyond - a sanctuary of tradition and refinement that has anchored this corner of Westchester since 1898.
