Overview
Manhattan Woods Golf Club opened in 1998 and is set among densely forested hills overlooking the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline in the distance. The routing for the course was originally set by Brian Silva and Geoffrey Cornish with the assistance of Stephen Kay before Gary Player completed the design and construction. The mix of architectural styles results in a classic-style golf course with undulating fairways protected by thickets of old trees, as well as demanding green complexes that are diverse in shape, slope and size. The highlight of the round is the intimidating downhill par-3 17th, played to a green seemingly shrunk by the wetland area and deep bunkers guarding the left side.

Review
“A highly exclusive Gary Player design just northwest of NYC, Manhattan Woods is a beautifully conditioned and challenging design offering some strong holes in a natural setting. The amenities here are excellent and I highly recommend a round here if you get the chance to play."
