THE EXPERIENCE
Playing at 7,165 yards from the back tees with a par of 72 and a slope of 148, Pound Ridge features five sets of tee boxes that make it appealing to short and long hitters alike. As with all Pete Dye’s courses, the hand of his wife Alice is evident in the providing of well-conceived teeing options for any golfers lacking great length in their shots. The result is a challenging yet eminently playable course for golfers of all ages and abilities who play with intelligence, thought and self-possession.
While not all supposedly classic courses actually beckon golfers to return, Pete Dye’s layouts have an opposite, mesmerizing effect. We believe you will find our course to be one of the most magnetic of the bunch. Play it once and you find yourself smiling at the shots made, and haunted by the opportunities missed, in the strategic puzzle that is the Pound Ridge Golf Club. Dye disciples who have sampled his many masterpieces - Whistling Straits, Casa de Campo, the Ocean Course at Kiawah, TPC Sawgrass, Harbour Town - take notice: Pound Ridge Golf Club is an essential part of any golfer’s collection of Dye-designed courses, and even more accessible than these other golfing shrines due to its location just minutes outside of New York City.
