Winged Foot Golf Club: East

Winged Foot Golf Club is a sanctuary for lovers of A.W. Tillinghast’s architectural genius. While the West Course often steals the spotlight, the East Course is an equally mesmerizing journey through Tillinghast’s imagination. Gil Hanse’s recent restoration elevated the East to its former glory, reviving Tillinghast’s bunkering brilliance and restoring the greens to their original, challenging contours. These subtle, corner-pocket pin positions demand precision and strategy, offering a test of skill for even the most seasoned players. For travelers, playing both courses at Winged Foot is like walking through a museum of timeless golf design. The history here is palpable, as it has hosted numerous major championships, making it a bucket-list destination for anyone passionate about the game.
