Overview
Westchester Country Club, located in Rye, N.Y., debuted in 1922, commissioning Walter Travis to design two 18-hole courses aptly titled West and South. The South course is the less difficult of the two and is set among gently sloping terrain where open fairways and tricky greens are dotted with exposed rock faces and often protected by fescue-lined ravines and penalty areas. Since 2000, the South course has undergone multiple renovations. The first was by Ken Dye, focused on adding more than 500 yards to the course. The second, by Tom Fazio in 2017, saw the removal of trees for more accessible driving areas, allowing for more creative shot selection into the dramatic and heavily green complexes.

Review
“Built at the same time (1922) as its sister course, the West, Westchester's South Course was designed to be the easier course for members and this is indeed the case. The course's terrain is not quite as severe as the West, with fewer elevation changes and four holes positioned in the center of the course over low-lying land near a pond. There are some excellent risk/reward holes here, such as the back-to-back short par fours at 12 and 13, and excellent par 5 3rd, which is reachable but features a blind, punchbowl-like green hidden beneath rocky outcroppings. While not as memorable as the West Course, there's an argument to be made that this is the more fun course for daily play and members should be proud to have such a strong 36 holes at their Club."
