Pound Ridge Golf Club Beckons with Peak Conditions, Mature Layout, New Website and Clubhouse

New York's only Pete Dye Design Awaits Local, Traveling Golfers

(POUND RIDGE, N.Y.) - Golf season is underway at Pound Ridge Golf Club -- New York's only Pete Dye design and Westchester Countys premier public course -- and the course is in peak condition as summer approaches.

Now in its eighth year, the Dye masterpiece is maturing in the mold of many of the great courses of Westchester County.

"The course is as playable as it has ever been and has evolved into the test of golf Mr. Dye always envisioned," says Pound Ridge owner Ken Wang. "Advanced players will relish the variety of shots required to play to their handicaps, while average golfers will find a fair test from the proper tees."

New for 2015, tee times can be reserved using the courses new feature-rich, easy to navigate website optimized for mobile and tablet use. Peak season rates (through November 1) range from $120 on weekdays after 2 p.m. to $210 on weekend mornings before 2 p.m. Golfers can preview the challenge ahead with the new drone flyover of the entire layout.

Post-round, guests can relax in the refreshed interior of the recently expanded clubhouse, offering a full-service kitchen with new equipment, and mens and womens showers and small locker rooms.

For business and leisure travelers, a stay-and-play experience is offered in tandem with the luxurious Delamar Greenwich Harbor.
