Location: | Purchase, New York | Address: | 10 Country Club Drive, Purchase, New York 10577 | Opening: | 1996 | Information: | 914-328-5047 | Classification: | Private | Designer: | Jack Nicklaus |
Located in the Purchase area of the Town of Harrison in Westchester County, New York, The Country Club of Purchase opened in September 1996 and is the first and only 18-hole championship golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus in the area. A skillful combination of world-class design and sound environmental planning, the course is likely to be acclaimed for its beauty and its sensitive conservation.
The course plays 6,876 yards and is masterfully crafted on 192 acres, with protected wetlands. Preserving the ecologically rich land was a priority from the earliest planning sessions, not only of the club's owners but from Jack Nicklaus as well.
"When I was asked to design the Country Club of Purchase, I considered it a rare opportunity and experience for me to be able to design a course in an area so rich in long established, historic and famous clubs. Having the chance to create something truly special and realizing it would probably be one of the last courses designed in the area, I was both excited and challenged. The owners provided me with a magnificent piece of virtually untouched land. The design incorporates the rolling terrain, a variety of wetlands, and holes framed by trees which act as a canopy. The result is something I hope members and future generations will enjoy for both its natural beauty and golfing experience far beyond my lifetime."
