Item Description
Complimentary round of golf with carts and lunch for four (4) on any available Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday at Brae Burn Country Club in Purchase, New York.
When Brae Burn was formed in 1964, it was the first new member-owned club formed in Westchester since the late 1920's. This undertaking was commenced by a group of friends from Harrison Country Club who were later joined by members of other non-equity local clubs. Brae Burn was the name that won a contest among members. The original name, Purchase Hills, was abandoned because of its similarity to another club in the area.
Frank Duane, a long-time protégé of Robert Trent Jones, was retained to design the golf course, which was ready for play in June 1965. The clubhouse was opened the following year.
The parkland layout is routed through hilly terrain with natural brooks and ponds in play on a number of holes. An old, elevated railroad bed crosses the course, adding an unusual manmade dimension as well. The undulating greens are among the most contoured and challenging in the Metropolitan area.
A course renovation completed in 2000 has enhanced the course's beauty. Architect Ken Dye's plan reconfigured bunkers, added visibility and restored much of Duane's original design.
Over the years, several of Brae Burn's holes have been voted among the best 18 in the best in the area, including the 9th, the 15th and 17th.
