This is Pete Dye at his prettiest—and toughest. Pound Ridge, which sits 40 miles northeast of Manhattan, mixes perfectly manicured fairways and greens with a long, demanding, undulated layout. It's a visually intimidating course with a number of blind tee shots, huge bunker complexes and some long carries, and Instagrammable beauty at every turn. In typical fashion, Dye wedged a lot of trouble into this 175-acre site with woods, wetlands, water hazards, rocks and boulders coming into play. (His advice? Bring extra balls.) There is little to no room for error on most tee and approach shots, but that's what makes it a must-play (and with five sets of tees ranging from 5,151 to 7,165 yards, you have options). The property features some of the highest points in the area, offering expansive views of the surrounding Westchester countryside—an area known for its private courses.

Review
“This course is in great condition typically but presents quite the challenge, especially when the wind is howling. The elevation changes and routing make it more of a cart course than a walkable one, although they do let you walk on weekdays. Some very difficult long holes, combined with some nice scoring opportunities. Very pricey, however, so recommend offseason play if that's a factor for you."

“Bring extra balls, but there are enough good holes to make this worth playing for better players. Not a great option for beginners or wayward drivers."
