by John Bowman in 1919. Yes, the barn comes into play on the second shot from the rough for slicers off the tee.
H7OLE
Bedford G&T
Bedford
No. 14 • Par 4 • 426 yards
There’s not much to see from the tee box on the 14th hole at Bedford Golf & Tennis, but once you’ve hit your blind drive up and over the hill, a perfectly bunkered multi-tiered green comes into view. It’s best to enjoy the beauty before attempting the long, uphill beast of a second shot.
H8OLE
Summit Club
Armonk
No. 17 • Par 3 • 185 yards
“Hang Time,” as this lovely hole is named on the scorecard, aptly describes the experience of hitting from its elevated tee to a generous green surrounded by sand and water. The par 3 is one of the major improvements to the Rees Jones-renovated Summit Club course, which opened last year.
H9OLE
Winged Foot GC
Mamaroneck
West No. 9 • Par 5 • 513 yards
Nine West offers perhaps the best view on the entire property of the iconic Winged Foot club- house. It’s a heck of a golf hole, too. Tillinghast described it as one of the toughest holes on the course, and Gil Hanse’s restoration of what he called a “wedge green” brought new perimeter pin positions into play.
Hartsdale
No. 14 • Par 4 • 455 yards
The only beauty you want to see from your drive here is your ball bouncing down the cen- ter of the fairway. When you get to the ball for your second shot, though, take a moment to enjoy the view of what seems like half of Westchester County from the hilltop. Then, follow head pro Anthony Casalino’s advice, by hitting a hybrid that lands in front and rolls onto the small, tricky green.
