Century Country Club

Overview: Century Country Club is a historic private course in Purchase, New York, shaped by rolling Westchester ground and the strategic design language of the Colt and Alison office. The 18-hole layout is reported at par 71 and 6,809 yards from the blue tees.

History: The club’s present Purchase course was designed and constructed in 1926. Century’s own history explains that Charles Hugh Alison is credited with the design, while Harry Colt and the wider London practice contributed to the planning tradition surrounding the project.

Did You Know? Century’s architectural story also touches Alister MacKenzie. He was part of the Colt and Alison firm at the beginning of the club’s history, linking the course to the same design network that produced several later landmark layouts.
