Garden City Golf Club

Stepping onto Garden City Golf Club is like stepping back in time. This minimalist masterpiece retains the character of its early 20th-century roots, with its faint roadbeds serving as a reminder of the land’s past. Walter Travis’ redesign before the 1908 U.S. Amateur turned it into one of the most thought-provoking courses in the country, thanks to its deep pot bunkers that challenge even the boldest golfers. Known as the "home of the God-fearing approach shot," Garden City rewards strategic thinking over brute force. Its rare finishing par-3 hole is a treat, adding an unexpected twist to a round. Golf travelers will appreciate the course’s natural beauty and historic charm—a perfect escape to an era when the game was simpler, yet equally demanding.
