Manhattan Woods Golf Club ☆ Follow

The 18-hole Manhattan Woods course features 7,110 yards of golf for a par of 72. The routing was originally set by Brian Silva and Geoffrey Cornish with the assistance of Stephen Kay before Gary Player completed the design and construction. The course is set among densely forested hills overlooking the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline in the distance. The course rating is 75.0 and it has a slope rating of 141 on Bent grass.

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. The fairways are lined with thick fescue grasses, and water comes into play on four holes, adding an extra layer of complexity to the game.

The course has been ranked Top 25 in New York in 2001 & 2013-'18, Top 30 in 2007, Top 45 in 2023-'24, and Top 50 in 2025-'26 by Golf Digest. Over the years, Manhattan Woods has hosted numerous tournaments and events, attracting some of the biggest names in the golfing world.
