New York & Long Island: Golf Paintings and Prints
Tillinghast's courses in Westchester and the windswept hills of eastern Long Island.
The New York area was one of the first centers of American golf, and it holds an unusual concentration of championship courses built between the 1890s and the 1930s. Two landscapes shape them.
North of the city, in Westchester County, the ground is rolling and rocky, with hardwood forest and streams. A.W. Tillinghast, among the leading architects of the 1920s, did some of his best work here. At Winged Foot in Mamaroneck, which opened in 1923, the West Course relies on deep bunkers and heavily contoured greens rather than water, and it has hosted six U.S. Opens. Next door, Quaker Ridge, another Tillinghast design, is a quieter course, known for doglegs and angles, which has hosted the Walker Cup and Curtis Cup.
Long Island is flatter and sandier, a glacial landscape of outwash plains and hills. At Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, the Black Course, opened in 1936 and credited to Tillinghast, has hosted two U.S. Opens, a PGA Championship and the 2025 Ryder Cup while remaining open to the public. At the island's eastern end, near Southampton, Shinnecock Hills occupies rolling, largely treeless hills covered in fescue and native grasses. The club was one of the founders of the USGA in 1894, and its course, with constant wind off the ocean and Peconic Bay, looks closer to a British links than almost anything else in American championship golf. It has hosted six U.S. Opens.
Between them, these courses show the range of golf in the region: tight parkland greens in Westchester and open, wind-exposed ground on Long Island. Linda Hartough's New York paintings mark several U.S. Opens, including Bethpage in 2002 and 2009, Shinnecock in 1995 and 2004, and Winged Foot in 2006.
