Hit the links at Waccabuc Country Club. Your foursome will have access to the golf course on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in the 2023 season.

Waccabuc Country Club is located in the hamlet of Waccabuc in the northeastern portion of Westchester County. This private country club offers members a regulation length 18-hole exquisite golf course. The course has a tight front nine and a wide open back nine. The signature hole is #18, a 400-yard, par 4, featuring a great view of the clubhouse. Water hazards (three ponds) come into play on two holes.

This certificate entitles a foursome to an 18-hole round of golf with carts and lunch at Ridgewood Country Club located on Franklin Street in Danbury.

Not one, but three outstanding course architects have had a hand in the creation of Ridgewood's golf layout, including Devereux Emmet, Geoffrey Cornish, and Roger Rulewich. The result is a course that is challenging and a pleasure to play for golfers of every skill level. The course flows gracefully over peaceful rolling terrain that's perfect for casual golfers. More competitive players, though, must fight their instinct to let down their guard because of a wide range of challenges - demanding doglegs, water hazards, large elevation changes, and stone walls can quickly inflate scores. Much of the course, which measures 6,758 yards from the championship tees, has been significantly upgraded over the past few years both to enhance the quality of the Ridgewood golf experience and to maintain the traditional design elements intended by the golf course architects.

Must schedule on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday afternoon in the 2023 season.
