Nestled in the heart of Westchester County, Quaker Ridge is a hidden gem for golf architecture enthusiasts. A.W. Tillinghast’s design was brought back to life by Gil Hanse, whose work unveiled the course’s true potential. Tree removal opened up breathtaking sightlines, while restored bunkers and expanded greens highlight Tillinghast’s genius. The par-4s here are among the strongest in the region, with holes like the sixth, framed by a creek and hillside, demanding precision, and the drive-and-pitch 11th offering a risk-reward challenge. Quaker Ridge provides a blend of natural beauty, strategic brilliance, and tournament-level toughness that makes it a must-play for those traveling through New York’s golf-rich corridors.
