Winged Foot Golf Club, Private golf club in Mamaroneck, United States.
Winged Foot Golf Club is a private golf club in Mamaroneck, New York, featuring two championship courses designed by A.W. Tillinghast. The West Course extends over 7,258 yards (6,636 meters) and the East Course offers further challenges with different layouts and playing conditions.
The club opened in 1923 and gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places, acknowledging its architectural and sporting importance. Since its opening, the property has hosted six U.S. Open Championships along with additional professional tournaments.
The original clubhouse operates with its century-old ventilation system and avoids air conditioning, reflecting the architectural principles and social standards of the 1920s. This choice preserves the character of the founding era and shows how members adapt to historical conditions even during warm months.
Guests may enter the property only when accompanied by members, with the facility including practice areas, dining options, and professional golf instruction. The facility requires appropriate golf attire and reservations for all tee times, especially on weekends and during peak season.
The opening hole of the West Course presents a 450-yard (411-meter) par-4 with a downhill slope where Jack Nicklaus recorded a notable four-putt during the 1974 U.S. Open. This hole is considered technically demanding among professionals because of the sloping green and difficult positioning off the tee.
