About the Course

Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York, is A.W. Tillinghast at his most demanding. Its West Course features deep bunkers, severe greens and thick rough that have repeatedly turned the U.S. Open into a test of survival.

The 1974 “Massacre at Winged Foot” was won at 7-over par, and in 2020 Bryson DeChambeau was the only player to finish under par for the championship, overpowering the course in a new era of distance.
