Pound Ridge Readies for Spectacular Autumn Golf Season

New York’s Only Pete Dye Design Set in Bucolic Westchester County Setting

(POUND RIDGE, N.Y.) – Pound Ridge Golf Club – legendary Pete Dye’s modern public marvel in Westchester County – features the ideal setting for spectacular autumn golf highlighted by pure course conditions and a bucolic setting few public facilities in the New York City metro area can match.

Ranked No. 6 in Golfweek’s “Best Courses You Can Play in New York,” Pound Ridge is Dye’s only Empire State design. Less than an hour drive from New York City, a half-hour from White Plains and less than 15 minutes from both Stamford and Greenwich, (Conn.), the celebrated architect’s acclaimed layout exemplifies his genius for creating exceptional shot values as well as an authentic golf experience to long savor. 

This has been a banner year for layouts designed by Dye with the 2021 PGA Championship contested on The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island and the 2021 Ryder Cup held on The Straits Course at Whistling Straits. Pound Ridge hosted the Metropolitan Golf Association (MGA) Public Links Championship this summer. The tournament marked the 73rd rendition of the prestigious MGA event which is the oldest public golf course championship in the U.S.

“It’s such an honor for us to be part of the extraordinary legacy of the great Pete Dye,” says Darren Wang, managing partner of Pound Ridge Golf Club. “We invite everyone to visit us here in Westchester County and play one of Mr. Dye’s classic tests of golf surrounded by the incredible autumn beauty of the Northeast. U.S.”

Named No. 7 in the “Toughest Courses in the U.S.” by GOLF Channel’s Golf Advisor, Pound Ridge sits regally on 172 pastoral acres with dramatic rock outcroppings, streams and wooded, rolling hills converging to create an enjoyable and challenging par-72 course. Five sets of tees range from 5,151 to 7,165 yards providing challenges for golfers of all skill levels. Among its unforgettable holes is the dramatic par-5 13th which is home to “Pete’s Rock,” a giant boulder that rests in the middle of the fairway.
