POUND RIDGE, N.Y. -- Pound Ridge Golf Club has been selected as one of America's Top Golf Courses by Zagat, the respected evaluation authority. The 2009/2010 edition of the guide surveyed more than 6,054 avid golfers from the United States, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands for ratings and reviews on over 1,000 public, semi-private and resort courses. Pound Ridge Golf Club was called a "phenomenal new course,' and it was noted that the Pete Dye design is 'both scenic' and 'extremely challenging from just about every tee box,' with 'elevation changes'."

Zagat also highly ranked Pound Ridge Golf Club in these additional categorizes: Conditioning, Par-3 Holes, Par-4 Holes, Par-5 Holes, Most Scenic, Top Rated and Noteworthy Newcomers.

Pound Ridge is the only Pete Dye designed golf course in the state of New York. Dye has built a challenging layout with dominant rock outcroppings, richly contoured fairways, expansive bunkers and gracefully undulating greens. Strikingly dramatic yet blending naturally into the landscape, the course presents an unusually wide range of shot making opportunities.

Pound Ridge is welcoming golfers from across the nation during its first full season of golf. Additionally, Pound Ridge has broadened its scope by attracting international golfers to tee-off at Dye's newest Northeast gem. The club's easy online tee time booking system allows golfers to schedule advance visits throughout the season at
