Lynx At River Bend Golf Club

The routing through this Hudson Valley woodland demands precise iron play, with elevated tees feeding into narrow corridors carved between mature hardwoods that punish wayward drives. Water hazards thread through seven holes, including a particularly menacing creek that bisects the par-4 14th just short of the green, forcing a gutsy approach over moving water. The mountain backdrop provides stunning autumn golf, but it's the risk-reward short par-4s and well-protected greens that keep you coming back for more punishment.
