Sprain Lake is one of the oldest public golf facilities in Westchester County, operated by the county's parks department and sitting alongside the reservoir that gives it its name. The course dates back to the early 20th century and has long served as a workhorse layout for the dense population of golfers who live in the lower Hudson Valley — a region that takes its public golf seriously and has historically offered surprisingly strong options for everyday players.
The terrain here is classic Westchester: rolling, wooded, and compact, shaped by the same glacial topography that defines the county's better-known private clubs. Sprain Lake plays shorter than a traditional championship layout, with a par of 70 reflecting a design that leans on precision and positioning rather than raw distance. Tight tree lines and elevation changes demand more creativity than the modest yardage might suggest.
For residents of Yonkers, the Bronx, and the surrounding area, Sprain Lake fills a role that private clubs never could — an accessible, affordable place to play regularly, where a morning tee time sits just off the Sprain Brook Parkway and a round fits into a weekday before lunch.
