Included in this package is a round of golf, lunch, and drinks at the prestigous Westchester Country Club. The grand dame of golf clubs in the county is Westchester Country Club, the centerpiece of what was to be a planned community for millionaire sportsmen created by John Bowman, a stable boy who worked his way up to own the Bowman-Biltmore Hotels group. Things didn’t work out exactly as Bowman had planned, but the club he created has thrived for nearly a century and hosted PGA Tour events for more than four decades. The West Course was meant to be a championship-caliber track. Travis used the hilly terrain and multitude of rock outcroppings and other natural landforms to create a difficult, strategic course that has stood up to the best golfers in the game for many years. As originally constructed, the West Course had additional greens and bunkers so it could be reversed for winter play. Westchester CC got its baptism as a professional tournament venue when it hosted the final 36 holes of the Golf Championship of the World in 1922. The PGA Tour moved the Thunderbird Classic (which eventually became the Westchester Classic) to Westchester CC in 1963. Prior to the move, the Classic was played as a one-day pro-am at Apawamis for 10 years. Arnold Palmer won the tournament that year, followed by Tony Lema in 1964 and Jack Nicklaus in 1965. The parade of top champions continued when the tournament began using the Westchester Classic name in 1967. For many years, the tournament was often held the week before the US Open, which made it a must-play tune-up for many of the top competitors. Nicklaus won twice, as did Seve Ballesteros, Ernie Els, and Sergio García. Vijay Singh was a three-time winner at Westchester. The tournament underwent several sponsorship name changes until 2007, when it became the Barclays, the first event in the PGA Tour FedEx Cup Playoffs. Steve Stricker won that year, which marked the end of the Tour’s run at Westchester CC until 2011, when Fred Couples won the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship. Valued at $1500
