Wykagyl Country Club In 1994 the Club commissioned noted golf course architect Arthur Hills to supervise a makeover of the entire course and bring it up to championship standards in all categories. The work consisted of rebuilding all tees and adding several new ones to give variety and considerable variation in course length for Professional and Club Tournaments as well as Membership events and outings.
All bunkers were reworked for better drainage, and some were moved, others were added, and some existing ones reshaped. The length of the course was increased, mostly on the back nine.
The main attraction of those grounds however still remains the Wykagyl golf course. Wykagyl, a course of championship caliber, is par 72, and over 6600 yards. The rolling slopes, the proximity of the woods, and the hazards of the willow-bordered brooks, call for every shot in golf. The par three 16th hole of 230 yards and the tree-guarded, dogleg par four eight of 449 yards are regarded by pros and amateurs as among the most exciting and interesting holes in golf.
In 1998, Wykagyl celebrated its Centennial. Many activities were planned around this extraordinary milestone including golf matches, pool and tennis events, an elaborate Centennial Ball at the Fountainhead in New Rochelle, a carnival and family barbecue on the 4th of July, and a spectacular fireworks display to culminate the festivities. Members from the past and present participated in many of these events. It was a wonderful time at Wykagyl and a lot of old friendships were rekindled. Our Centennial was a true example of the significance of the Wykagyl family and it was a celebration that will be remembered for years to come.

| Description |
| This well-maintained course features narrow fairways and a variety of different-shaped greens that are fast. The terrain is rolling, and water hazards come into play on some holes. Additionally, the course is well guarded by sand bunkers. This club was host to the LPGA Tour's JAL Big Apple Classic in 1994. |
