Pelham Country Club
Pelham Country Club was founded in 1921 and in 1923 hosted the PGA Championship (won by Gene Sarazen) on its Devereux Emmet-designed course. In 1954 the building of a highway resulted in an Alfred Tull remodel.
“After playing Meadow Brook on some 300 acres the day before,” commented Mr. Top 100 (Rudo) in his blog, “playing Pelham on 119 acres (including pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, etc.) squeezed on all sides by apartment buildings, a Costco warehouse store, Amtrak (alongside I-95 running right through the middle of the course), and flights on landing patterns into Laguardia, felt at times like a very different game, but in many ways just as much fun. The remaining Emmet holes are very special and it is obvious that this was a great championship track before the Thruway was constructed.”
DeVries Designs has been consulting at Pelham Country Club since 2008 and in 2019 completed another phase of a long-term renovation project involving the redesign of five holes.
World Top 100 Golf Courses
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
