Westchester CC- East Course

Westchester CC- West Course, hole 13 

 History

Westchester Country Club opened in 1922.

Walter Travis designed both courses- the West as a Championship course, and the shorter South course for member enjoyment.

Westchester CC West Course hole 6

The West Course  has hosted an impressive 42 PGA events, as well as the U.S. Women's Amateur & LPGA Championships.

Course

The West Course covers some significantly undulating terrain, and demands a reasonable level of fitness to walk.

The upside of a routing though such territory is that you can turn a corner and be blown away by holes that go down into a valley, or over water or up around a corner..

I really enjoyed the variety of holes.

I was most fortunate to play with a member who was most attentive to our need of direction, nicely supplementing the caddie advice.

The West is a championship course, and will test every part of your game.

For us Aussies, the long grass on the green collars required a deft pop and stop wedge shot we were largely unfamiliar with, and shots were lost..

I will go home and practice that shot!

Westchester has a magnificent set up, with a majestic clubhouse and a strong challenging course in the East.

It feels like a championship venue.

Notable holes include:

- Hole 7,  an attractive longer par 3

- Hole 15, a pretty shorter par 3

- Hole 16, a delightful short dogleg par 4.

- Hole 17, a remarkable par 5 with a very demanding approach over water

 Westchester is a pretty special club.

Members are spoilt with the quality of golfing and other facilities that the club provides.
