Ranked No. 4 in GOLF Magazine’s “Best Courses You Can Play in New York,” Pound Ridge is Dye’s only design in the golf-rich Empire State. Less than an hour drive from New York City and minutes from White Plains, Greenwich, Stamford and Norwalk (Conn.), the World Golf Hall of Famer’s admired layout has become one of the celebrated “must-play” public courses in the region.
Pound Ridge offers flexible rates built around the needs of today’s golfer. Through May 5, the “offseason” weekday reservation rates (Mon. – Thurs.) are $130 (18 holes) and $70 (nine holes). For Friday to Sunday (and holidays), the green fee is $149 (18 holes) with a nine-hole rate of $80.
From May 6 until Oct. 27, the 18-hole Monday to Thursday “peak season” reservation rate is $150 before 1 p.m. and, new this year, $125 after 1 p.m. The weekend (Fri. – Sun.) and holiday rate is $235 before 1 p.m. and $150 after 1 p.m.
Pound Ridge also features a “peak season” nine-hole weekday rate of $80 (Mon. – Thurs.) for play before 1 p.m. and $70 after 3 p.m. On Friday through Sunday (and holidays), a nine-hole rate of $120 is offered from 11 a.m. to 12:50 p.m.
Good for play through Dec. 31, 2020 when purchased this year, Pound Ridge additionally offers an “Individual Golf Plan” using prepaid debit accounts with participants receiving 10% off applicable greens fees when using their account balance (golf only).
All guests receive a complimentary yardage book, bottled water, tees, towel usage, range balls and use of practice facilities. Carts are equipped with state-of-the-art GPS for obtaining exact yardages from any position.
“We’re excited to enter our second decade of offering our guests one of the premier Pete Dye golf experiences in not only the New York City and Westchester County area, but the U.S. as well,” says Ken Wang, owner of Pound Ridge. “Few daily-fee locations anywhere can match the glory of Pete’s genius on display here at Pound Ridge with its incredible design, wonderful challenge and tranquil bucolic setting.”
Pound Ridge is carved from 172 acres of beautiful countryside – including dramatic cliffs, streams and wooded, rolling hills into a fun and challenging par-72 course. The course features five sets of tees ranging from 5,151 to 7,165 yards providing challenges and fun 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.

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. Pound Ridge Golf Club is the premier high-end, public course in the metropolitan New York area.
Pound Ridge Golf Club is a full bentgrass facility, 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 United States. More than 14,000-linear-feet of rock wall surrounds trees, wetlands and water hazards. These frame contoured fairways wind through hardwood forests and fescue mounds leading to open meadows with picturesque green complexes.
Fans of Dye will find all the legendary designer’s renowned touches on display: dramatic mounding, rhythmic routing and subtle deception meld to create an imminently challenging and fair golf experience. Pound Ridge Golf Club reflects the best in contemporary course design and is unique in a region filled with classic courses.
The par-72 Pound Ridge Golf Club measures 7,165 yards and houses five sets of tees. It boasts a practice range, short game area and putting green. The property features some of the highest points in Westchester County, with many tee boxes offering expansive vistas of the surrounding countryside. 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 green.
In a region filled with classic layouts, Pound Ridge provides golfers with a refreshing and modern course design option. Dye’s signature design elements – dramatic mounding, rhythmic routing and subtle deception – are wonderfully displayed throughout the par-72, 7,165-yard layout, creating a compelling and fair test of golf.
