Pete Dye-Designed, Destination Golf Course North of New York City Available at $150, $100 after 2 p.m.
(POUND RIDGE, N.Y.) – Pound Ridge Golf Club – the nationally-ranked, Pete Dye-designed destination course 40 miles north of New York City – today announces offseason rates of $150 and $100 per round after 2 p.m. from November 1 through December 31, seven days a week.
Regular rates during the peak season range from $125 to $235, and advance reservation rates from $105 to $195. Advance reservations are not required for the offseason rates, which go into effect as the Hudson Valley is reaching peak fall foliage.
“Late fall is the perfect opportunity for golfers to experience a nationally-ranked facility – and the only Pete Dye designed course in the state — at a tremendous value,” says Todd Leavenworth, General Manager. “Due to the mild fall season, the course is in excellent condition with cool weather grasses flourishing and the bentgrass greens in as good as shape as they’ve been all year.”

About Pound Ridge Golf Club
Opened in 2008, Pound Ridge Golf Club is the only course in New York designed by the legendary Pete Dye. Located in Westchester County, it is less than an hour north of New York City and less than 15 minutes from Stamford and Greenwich, Connecticut. One of the only high-end, public courses in the area, Pound Ridge Golf Club is a full bentgrass facility.
Crafted by Dye, his son Perry and long-time Dye construction manager/lead shaper Michael Langkau, Pound Ridge Golf Club is hewn from 172 acres of magnificent cliffs, streams and wooded hills. Dramatic rock formations and boulders were left onsite, creating one of the most visually stunning settings for golf in the U.S. More than 14,000-linear-feet of rock wall surrounds trees, wetlands and water hazards. These frame contoured fairways which wind through hardwood forests and fescue mounds leading to open meadows with picturesque green complexes.
Pound Ridge Golf Club plays to a par-72 and houses five sets of tees and measures 7,171 yards. It boasts a practice range, short game area and putting green. The property features some of the highest points in Westchester County, with a number of tee boxes offering expansive vistas of the surrounding country. Notable holes include the par-5, 13th – home to “Pete’s Rock,” a giant boulder that rests in the middle of the fairway – and the par-3 15th – dubbed “Headstone” – which is flanked on the right by a large rock outcropping that protrudes into the elongated, 9,000-square-foot putting surface.
