About The Apawamis Club
T
he Apawamis Club was formed in Rye in 1890. When
Apawamis was incorporated in 1891, it became the first
men’s social club to be chartered by New
York State. Laid out over typically rugged and
hilly Westchester terrain, the Apawamis course is
Founded:
extremely tight, demanding accuracy off the tee as
1890
a first prerequisite for scoring well. But the real Course Opened:
1899
challenges at Apawamis are the small greens which
Architects:
are as fast and slick as those at Augusta National.
Willie Dunn
In many ways Apawamis is similar to Maturin Ballou
Championship
Merion, a short course that requires every shot in
Tees:
the bag. Ben Hogan once called Apawamis “the
Par: 72
Yardage: 6,471
toughest short golf course I have ever played.”
Course Rating:
72.1
Slope: 131
The most memorable hole is the fourth, called “Eleanor’s Teeth”
(for former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt) for the 12 bunkers that
protect the elevated green. The hole features a semi-blind drive to a
slanting fairway, and a brook crossing in front of the two-tiered green.
Apawamis has hosted a number of national and regional golf
championships over the years, including the 1978 Curtis Cup and the
1911 U.S. Amateur, as well as being the host course for the United States
Seniors annual championship. The club holds the record for the most
times hosting an MGA Championship, with the total being nineteen.
The fourth hole, known as “Eleanor’s Teeth”
Inaugural MGA Senior Masters Tournament
Country Club of Fairfield
September 20, 2012
After Tropical Storm Irene pushed back the first playing of the
Senior Masters Tournament until 2012, the Country Club of Fairfield opened its doors to golfers aged 65 and over to play in the
first new MGA tournament since the Mid-Amateur started in 2007.
Robert Howe of Winged Foot finished four strokes ahead of
the field with a 1-over 71 in the inaugural playing of the event to
be the first name etched into the Senior Masters trophy.
