MOUNT KISCO COUNTRY CLUB

This Westchester County gem delivers surprisingly varied terrain across rolling hills that challenge every club in your bag, with elevation changes that punish poor course management and reward strategic thinking. The par-3 8th plays downhill to a green protected by ancient oaks, while the dogleg-left 14th demands a precise drive to avoid the creek that meanders through the lower fairway. Despite its public accessibility in an area dominated by exclusive private clubs, the conditioning rivals anything you'll find north of the Bronx.
