Whippoorwill Club

Overview: At 170 acres in Armonk, Whippoorwill Club offers a private parkland course on rolling Westchester ground. Donald Ross's original framework and Charles Banks's later work give the course a classic parkland character, with elevation changes, strategic bunkering and greens that reward careful positioning.

History: The club was founded in 1928, and its course history includes both Ross design work and a substantial Banks redesign. Whippoorwill's conservation easement and long-term land stewardship are now part of how the club manages the 170-acre property.

Did You Know? The club's own history recounts that a steam shovel used during construction ended up in a pond. It is a small reminder of how much physical work went into shaping the original Westchester terrain.
