Sprain Lake Golf Course

Sprain Lake Golf Course is one of the six eighteen-hole courses run by Westchester County's parks department, set on East Grassy Sprain Road in Yonkers. Tom Winton, the architect behind several of Westchester's county courses, laid it out in 1928 on a long, narrow site, running stretches of holes out in one direction and back in the other to fit the land. The result is a par-70 course of roughly 6,000 yards with small greens, rolling terrain, many water hazards and a number of genuinely demanding holes, so accuracy matters far more than length. As a county course it offers public access at resident and non-resident rates, and it has drawn praise in recent years for improvements to its conditioning.
