Sleepy Hollow Country Club

Sleepy Hollow Country Club stands in Scarborough, New York, overlooking the Hudson River with dramatic elevation changes and rolling terrain. Designed by the legendary architect C.B. Macdonald in 1911, and later refined by his protégé Seth Raynor, the course exemplifies strategic design principles that challenge golfers of all skill levels. Its distinct "Macdonald-Raynor" school of design includes template holes such as the Redan, Biarritz, and Short, which promote intellectual engagement and precision.

One of the most notable holes is the par-3 16th, featuring a dramatic 140-foot drop from tee to green, providing not only a test of accuracy but also stunning views of the river. The 3rd hole, a par-5 known as the "Punchbowl," offers a classic risk-reward scenario, tempting players to reach the green in two shots, though hazards protect it strategically.

Sleepy Hollow has hosted several prestigious tournaments, including both Metropolitan PGA and USGA events, which have bolstered its reputation among elite courses. Its consistent ranking within America’s Top 100 Golf Courses is supported by its challenging layout, impeccable conditioning, and historical significance. For golf enthusiasts, Sleepy Hollow is not just a test of their game but a walk through golf architecture history.
