General Info

The Fairview Country Club was founded in 1904 on land leased from the Fairview Links in Bronxville, Conn. the nine-hole course that also spawned Siwanoy. In 1907, a huge English Tudor mansion with a great view across the Saw Mill River Valley became the clubhouse. Fairview s caddie ranks also include Jimmy Farrell (winner of the 1928 U.S. Open); Tom Creavy (winner of the 1931 PGA); and Tony Manero, winner of the 1936 U.S. Open. The new 18-hole golf course, designed by Donald Ross, opened in 1912. It served until 1968, when, as a result of the commercialization of the Elmsford area and the development of Interstate 287, the club moved to its present site in Greenwich, Conn. where Robert Trent Jones designed a new course. Fairview hosted two major MGA championships: the 1930 Met Open and the 1959 Met Amateur. John Inglis caddies carried for the winners in both events.
