Winged Foot Golf Club (West)

Winged Foot Golf Club (West) is a private club that rarely opens its gates in Mamaroneck, New York. It is best from spring through fall.

There's no walk-up access here; a member or reciprocal invitation is the only way in. Green fees aren't published — invite only. The property offers lodging close by, which shapes how we build the days around it.

Winged Foot is invite-only and has hosted more U.S. Opens than almost anywhere else — that combination of scarcity and pedigree is why it lands at No. 20.

Spring through fall is the season. We plan lodging in nearby Westchester around whatever window the invitation opens.
