Bonnie Briar Country Club first opened for play in 1921. The course was designed by Devereaux Emmet and A.W. Tillinghast.
Bonnie Briar Country Club was founded in 1921, during the Golden Age of Westchester County golf. This classical course sits on 150 rolling acres winding through the woods and natural rock formations of an old Revolutionary War encampment. The closing holes are set along, or over, the Sheldrake Rive.
The very first published accounts described Bonnie Briar as a "family club," one whose charter members included America's greatest chronicler of family life, artist Norman Rockwell. Today, Bonnie Briar has approximately 500 regular golf members.
