Whether you are planning a wedding, golf outing or business meeting, your event will be created especially for you. Events With a location approximately 15 miles from Manhattan, Pelham Country Club provides its members and guests with a perfect setting for special events like as weddings, meetings, and seminars. If you are organizing a wedding, a golf excursion, or a business meeting, your event will be tailored to your specific needs and requirements. Our knowledgeable staff will collaborate with you to provide advice and assistance with the planning of your event and the selection of your personalized menu. Wedding at Pelham Country ClubAt Pelham Country Club, your event will be planned and executed just the way you envision. Each meeting is meticulously prepared down to the tiniest detail, with the utmost personal attention provided to the most important details. We can accommodate parties of all sizes, and all arrangements can be handled with Jeanmarie Ward, Director of Membership & Events, by contacting her at the number above. History Pelham Country Club began as a modest tennis club and five-hole golf course carved out of a cow meadow in 1908. Today, the club boasts a membership of over 2,000 people. When an influential member called Mont Rogers formed a corporation to purchase the site, he contacted famed golf architect Devereux Emmet to design a championship golf course. The course was completed in the summer of 1921. Pelham's golf course, which was created from virgin woodland and winds its way around and over rolling, low-lying hills, offers a variety of scenic panoramas of exceptional beauty. It is difficult to think that Manhattan is only 15 miles away, given the natural beauty of its surroundings, which is comparable only to an old English park. To serve as Pelham's first golf professional, Rogers brought in "Long" Jim Barnes, who was then ranked among the world's top three golfers, to work alongside the course's construction crew. One week after opening the new course, Jim Barnes went down to Columbia Country Club in Washington, D.C., and handily won the 1921 U.S. Open Championship. Barnes also won the inaugural PGA Championship, which was held at neighboring Siwanoy C.C., and was awarded the U.S. Open Trophy in 1921 by President Warren G. Harding, who also served as Barnes' caddie. Pelham Country Club became the epicenter of the golfing universe almost immediately. President Harding was appointed an honorary member of the Club, and Jim Barnes, the new "Pride of Pelham," was welcomed home with a spectacular gala hosted at the Club. Finally, in 1923, it was decided to stage the PGA Championship at Pelham Country Club, and what a fantastic championship it turned out to be. In attendance were all of the top golf pros of the day, and the fiercely-fought championship game, which pitted Gene Sarazen against Walter Hagen, has stood the test of time. It is still considered to be one of the most dramatic match play finals in the history of the Championship, with Gene Sarazen taking home the victory after an incredible 38-hole battle.
