Westchester Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I play a round at Westchester Country Club, given its private status?

This isn't a walk-up course, so you'll need an invitation from a member. We recommend leveraging your network; many private club members have reciprocal arrangements or can host guests. It's worth the effort to experience this historic track.

Westchester Country Club has two courses - which one should I prioritize playing?

You absolutely want to play the West Course, which is the championship layout and the one you've seen on TV. The South Course is pleasant, but the West offers the true test and the iconic holes you're dreaming of.

When is the best time of year to visit Westchester Country Club for optimal playing conditions?

We find late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October) offers the ideal balance of weather and course conditions. The greens will be firm and fast, and the tree-lined fairways are stunning with the changing foliage. Avoid the humid summer if you can.

What's the most memorable or challenging hole I should look out for on the West Course?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 9th hole on the West Course; it's a beauty and a beast. With water guarding the front and right, and bunkers waiting, it demands a precise iron shot to a tricky green. It's a classic risk-reward that will test your nerves.

Beyond the golf, what makes the Westchester Country Club experience unique?

You're stepping onto hallowed ground here, where legends have walked and major championships were decided. Take time to soak in the grand clubhouse and its history; it truly elevates the entire day beyond just the golf. It's a full-service, old-school country club experience.
