This club has 2 Tillinghast courses, both demanding powerful, yet accurate golf. The West course has hosted numerous USGA events and is known as the championship course. Its fairways are narrow, rough is deep, and the greens are highly contoured. It is not only important to hit most of your tee shots long, but as straight as humanly possible. Players will make use of their middle irons more frequently than normal. They will also need to do some creative work around the greens. Water does not come into play on the West Course. GOLF MAGAZINE ranks it among the Top 100 Courses in the U.S. GOLFWEEK recognized it as one of America's 100 Best Classical Courses. The East Course is tighter and shorter than the West Course. GOLF MAGAZINE also awarded it a place in the Top 100 Courses in the U.S, while GOLFWEEK selected it among America's 100 Best Classical Courses. One pond comes into play on this course. One of the 2 courses is always closed on Monday. This club hosted the 1929, 1959, 1974, and 1984 U.S. Opens. The winners were R. T. Jones, Jr., Billy Casper, Jr., Hale Irwin, and Fuzzy Zoeller, respectively. The 1997 PGA Championship, won by Davis Love III, was played here as well. The U.S. Amateur will be held here in 2004 and the U.S. Open in 2006. Claude Harmon holds the course record on both courses with a pair of 61s. The interesting story behind Harmon's 61 on the West Course is that he shot it while listening to the World Series on the radio. Winged Foot has a rich place in golf history -- among other points of interest, the term mulligan was invented at the club. Due to the private nature of the club, green fees are not available for publication. |
