Gold 18 72 5531 Red 18 72 5114 Built: 1972 Architect: Ed Ryder Description: With beautiful views of the Westlake Reservoir, sloping terrain and gorgeous Connecticut foliage, this might be the most serene and picturesque public course in the NY Metro Area. In addition, it is always one of the area s best maintained facilities, the greens and fairways kept like any quality private course. The front nine is built around the reservoir with many of the holes playing alongside it and some playing over it. The back nine offers numerous ponds and streams - and even quicksand on the 15th and 16th holes. The layout offers numerous doglegs, blind shots, and some very hilly holes (photo courtesy of richterpark.com) with sloping fairways, making it tough to find a flat lie. Water comes into play on 14 holes. The greens are mostly large and multi-tiered, normally aptly bunkered and not easy to approach. Club selection off the tee is always a vital decision. It s a tough, but fair test for even the low-handicapper. 3 / 7
Signature Hole: #12. Par 5. Your tee shot is to a tight landing area with water along the entire right side of the fairway. Your 3rd shot is played to a scenic and beautiful peninsula green. Challenging and difficult. Comments: Beautiful, scenic, park-like setting with all the water makes it one of the prettiest courses around. Challenging and difficult but fair and immensely enjoyable. Fabulous design, very well kept. Great mix of holes. This course is absolutely gorgeous and each hole is a picture postcard. The staff is friendly and informative. Richter is one of the most exquisite public golf courses in the country. A must play for every serious golfer. A very special place! We re lucky to have it in our area.
