About Us:
Fenway’s stature as one of the pre-eminent golf clubs in Westchester results from the time-tested greatness of its golf course and the rich history of its professionals. The course, designed by A. W. Tillinghast, one of America’s greatest architects, opened on July 4, 1924. Fenway’s sloping greens, deep traps and deceptively difficult landing areas, have proven time and again that this golf course need be compared to no other and stands on its own as a premier test of golfing excellence.
Fenway, recently restored by Gil Hanse, is just as good an example of Tilly's work as Winged Foot or Quaker Ridge.
"If it were located outside of the New York Metropolitan area, it would probably be a famous U.S. Open venue." - Tom Doak
