Sneak a post-round stroll behind the 2nd green for the most memorable photo with Wyndhurst Manor as a backdrop.
Wyndhurst Golf & Club is a pure expression of Golden Age design, routed over the rolling, tree-lined grounds of a historic Berkshire estate. Wayne Stiles and John Van Kleek used the land’s natural folds to create a blend of sporty, walkable holes with classic green complexes and strategic shotmaking options. Mark Mungeam’s recent renovation carefully softened select greens and refined bunkering, preserving the course’s sense of place and playability for modern resort guests.
Stiles and Van Kleek’s influence can be felt in every transition, with the routing yielding engaging variety and a sense of history on almost every green.
This par-4 plays straight toward the imposing facade of Wyndhurst Manor, the flag framed perfectly by the turreted mansion. A strong drive sets up an inviting approach over a shallow valley to a classic, modestly contoured green.
Favor the left half of the fairway to gain a better angle and avoid the right bunkers guarding the green’s approach.
Miss your drive right and you’ll flirt with tree trouble and a blocked sightline to the green’s front.
Resort-quality turf and greens, generally well-maintained with some ongoing polish after recent work.
Leisurely, with most rounds clocking in upper three to lower four hours. Resort and public play means occasional slower afternoons.
Classic New England mansion elegance meets casual play; friendly to resort guests and newcomers.
Golf attire recommended—collared shirts and proper footwear, but no fussy strictness.
Peak summer weekends are top-dollar, but twilight and off-season deals offer great value.
The tree-lined drive to the Manor sets the stage; leave time to soak in the historic grounds before your tee time.
Though carts are available, the course’s terrain and estate views are best experienced on foot.
