Pound Ridge Golf Club

Conceived in the late 90’s and over ten years in the planning and execution, the Pound Ridge Golf Club has already taken its place in the pantheon of great metropolitan golf courses. The signature wit of Pete Dye’s designs, his enduring challenge for golfers to bring their best game and his sometimes maddening, more often inspiring, mathematical genius make Pound Ridge one of his most memorable courses. In his own words, “If you create in the mind of a golfer that he can remember some of the holes, that’s extraordinary. And then, if you make it look, and it will look, very demanding, if it’s still playable you’ve hit a home run.” Crafted by Dye, his son Perry and long-time Dye construction manager/lead shaper Michael Langkau, Pound Ridge Golf Club is a unique and thoroughly modern, full bentgrass facility, hewn from 172 acres of magnificent cliffs, streams and wooded hills in Westchester County. Dramatic rock formations have been left onsite, creating one of the most visually stunning settings for golf in the U.S. More than 14,000-linear-feet of rock wall surround trees, wetlands and water hazards. Contoured fairways winding through hardwood forests and fescue mounds lead to open meadows with picturesque green complexes. The property features some of the highest points in the region, with a number of tee boxes offering expansive vistas of the surrounding countryside.
