Bull's Bridge Golf Club - Connecticut, U.S.A.

Bull's Bridge Golf Club is a private course located in northwest Connecticut's Litchfield County, straddling the borders of South Kent and New Milford. The course, opened in 2003 and facing the Berkshires to the north, was designed by Tom Fazio and developed by Tom Plant, who also worked with Fazio on Hudson National Golf Club. The course rambles through a rolling 360-acre site with a mantle of mountain laurel, yellow birch, and maples, studded with stony outcroppings. The course takes its name from historic Bull's l3ridge, the covered bridge crossing the Housatonic River in Kent that was operated in the 18th century by Jacob and Mary Bull, proprietors of the local inn. The existing bridge dates from 1842.

Hudson National Golf Club - New York, U.S.A.

Hudson National Golf Club in Croton-on-Hudson occupies a lofty 260-acre eyrie above the Hudson River on the second-highest elevation in Westchester County. When Henry Hudson sailed up the river in 1609, the land was occupied by the Kitchawank Indians. During the Revolutionary War, the 450-foot-high bluffs provided a key lookout for Washington's army as the British fleet sailed north. The golf course, designed by Tom Fazio, opened in June 1996. Fazio made the most of the rugged topography by not overdoing it, laying out a straightforward, big-boned course with commanding views and old stone walls sprinkled around the fairways. In the 1920s, a nine-hole course named Hessian Hills was built on the property, but when the clubhouse burned down in 1932, the course was disbanded and allowed to return to nature. The ruins of the old clubhouse overlook the fifth tee. Hudson National's new clubhouse is an imposing four-story stone manor house.
