Anglebrook Golf Club is located at 100 Route 202, Lincolndale, NY, 10540. Lincolndale is in the municipality of Somers in Northern Westchester County. Anglebrook Golf Club is a private, non-equity club in northern Westchester created in the mold of the storied Golden Era venues of golf-rich Westchester County. It is a pure golf club in the sense that there is no swimming pool or tennis courts; just golf for golf’s sake.
In the final design of his legendary architecture career, Robert Trent Jones Sr. created a modern masterpiece on an unspoiled 240-acre site, which features elevation changes of 200 feet. Anglebrook Golf Club opened in May of 1998. In their May, 1999 issue, Golf Digest ranked the course 16th best in the state of New York. That’s a prestigious honor for any club—especially one just a year old and particularly for one in Westchester County, long known as home to some of the most vaunted private clubs in America.
In keeping with his philosophy, Jones incorporated the layout into the existing terrain and natural contours of the land. The course is classically designed, offering traditional shot values and a minimum of blind shots. Four sets of tees, wide landing areas and a multitude of bailout options provide a wonderful level of playability. The greens are large, averaging nearly 7,000 square feet, and replete with numerous pockets and tiers, so accurate approach shots are essential to scoring. Anglebrook measures from 4,700 to its championship tees at 7,001. From there, the course carries a rating of 74.3 and a slope of 139.
The clubhouse was designed by internationally renowned post-modern architect, Robert A.M. Stern. The 24,000-square-foot clubhouse strikes the perfect balance of elegance and function with a casually-massed, country-house feel which rests at the top of a small hill in perfect harmony with its surroundings. The main and private dining rooms offer spectacular panoramic views of the golf course. Adjoining the dining room is a bar and lounge area which features premium brands of liquors and cigars.
Unlike many private clubs in the area, membership at Anglebrook is not on an invitation-only basis. Press "Blue Button" for more information about Anglebrook Golf Club.
Lincolndale is one of five communities in the Town of Somers. The other communities are Amawalk, Baldwin Place, Granite Springs, and Shenorock. The Town of Somers is located in the northern part of Westchester County.
The Mohegan tribe of the Algonquin nation originally occupied Somers. Settlement in Somers began in 1700. The town was originally named Stephentown. However, a town by the same name already existed in Renssealaer County. This lead to the name being changed to Somerstown and in 1808 to Town of Somers.
The railroad developed in the 1840’s and bypassed Somers. This caused a decline in the rate of growth of Somers over the next hundred years. However, the presence of the railroad in nearby communities allowed for a shift from agriculture towards dairy production and fruit growing. Industry continued to thrive, with grist, paper, saw and clothing mills operating in the area. Between 1890 and 1910, the Croton and Muscoot Rivers were flooded to create the New York City Reservoir system, thereby changing the local landscape considerably. After World War II the rolling hillside country attracted weekenders from New York City. The construction of I-684 in the mid-70’s facilitated additional residential and commercial development. IBM and PepsiCo built office complexes in the 1980’s.
Today, numerous 19th century historic buildings remain including Mount Zion Church (1794) and the Wright-Reis Homestead (1867). The Somers Historical Society oversees these properties and makes them available for public visitation several times a year.
Point of Interest: In 1804, a farmer and cattle merchant named Hachaliah Bailey acquired an African Elephant he named “Old Bet”. She was one of the first elephants in America. Although Bailey had planned to use the elephant for heavy-duty work on the farm, many people came to Somers to see the elephant. This inspired Bailey to exhibit Old Bet throughout the northeast. His success in this venture attracted numerous partners and rivals from local families, who joined in the business of importing and exhibiting exotic animals. The resulting menagerie business paralleled the development of the circus in America, and by the 1830’s the two forms of popular entertainment merged to form the basis of the modern American circus. In fact, the majority of early 19th century circus proprietors came from Somers and neighboring towns in northern Westchester and Putnam counties. This has led to Somers being titled “The Cradle of the American Circus”.
