Location: Mamaroneck, New York, USA | Ranking: #56
Type: Parkland | Designer: A.W. Tillinghast
Editor’s Note: Winged Foot’s West Course is one of American golf’s defining championship venues. Tillinghast’s green complexes, demanding par fours and exacting approach play have shaped a long major-championship history.
Access & Planning
Winged Foot is a private club. Golfers should not build a New York trip around the assumption that a tee time can be purchased; current access must be arranged legitimately through the club or an eligible host.
Course Character
The West Course rewards precision into small, well-defended greens and punishes poor angles. Major-championship setups have historically amplified the difficulty, but everyday playing conditions and course setup can differ significantly from tournament weeks.
Key Notes
- Championship history: Winged Foot has hosted multiple U.S. Opens and other major events.
- Architecture: Tillinghast’s green complexes are central to understanding the course’s strategic identity.
- Stay · Play · Recover: the New York region offers extensive accommodation and dining, but TGG does not attach a generic hotel CTA that could imply access to this private club.
