Hudson National Golf Club

Hudson National Golf Club was once home to the Kitchawan Indians when Henry Hudson first sailed downriver. Today this remarkable site houses a Tom Fazio signature course which stretches out to almost 7,000 yards and opened for play in 1996.

The elevated site – some 500 feet above the Hudson River – provides for stunning river views from all but four holes. Fazio certainly moved the earth to create Hudson National. 130,000 cubic yards of rock were blasted out before the holes could be routed through the second highest elevation point in Westchester County.

A 9-hole course, which belonged to Hessian Hills Golf Club in the 1930s, once occupied part of the site and Fazio routed the 4th hole alongside the ruins of their clubhouse as a “historical reminder” of the days of The Depression.

Tom Fazio oversaw a renovation of the layout in 2023, with the work carried out by contractor LaBar Golf Renovations. Fairways were reseeded with bentgrass, rough was changed to a new variety of fescue bluegrass and all the greens were rebuilt with 007XL bent. Bunkers were also reconstructed with Bunker Solution liner on holes 3, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14 and 18.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list.
