The first thing you notice about Pound Ridge (N.Y.) Golf Club is its beauty. The next thing you notice is how hard this Pete and Perry Dye course is to play. If you're a fan of Dye's work, you'll love Pound Ridge. It's visually stunning, you hardly ever get a flat lie and if you're going to challenge his design, be prepared to pay the consequences if you fail. But one thing is for sure: once you play it, you won't forget it, Mike Bailey writes.
Pound Ridge Golf Club, located about an hour north of New York City, remains the only Pete Dye design in New York, and it's one of his most difficult and beautiful. The club had been operating out of what seemed to be a temporary clubhouse, but now it's been expanded into a permanent venue.
At Crystal Springs Resort in the northernmost part of the state, seven scenic golf courses and three modern lodges are an example of the New Jersey that many are pleasantly surprised to discover.

Great Gorge Country Club in McAfee won't win anyone over with first impressions. The golf club, however, has rallied since coming under the management of Crystal Springs Golf Resort in 2004. Great Gorge has embraced its heritage with a retro-themed clubhouse, decorated by psychedelic wallpaper, shag carpet, a disco ball and pinball machine. The staff wears loud 1970s-style plaid pants to greet golfers. It's groovy, man. And there are 27 holes of George Fazio golf to boot.
Many of the best holes at the Wild Turkey Golf Club at Crystal Springs Golf Resort sit in a bowl of land well below the luxurious Grand Cascades Lodge.
