Rockland Country Club is located in Sparkill, New York and features and 18 holes golf course. The club was incorporated in 1906 and commissioned Henry Stark to design a 9 hole course that was ready the following year. Robert White laid out an entirely new golf course that opened in 1930, expanding the layout to 18 holes. Alfred Tull designed the present 12th and 13th holes in 1963, after the club decided to abandon the former 8th and 9th holes on the east side of Route 9W, which ran down to the Hudson River but required crossing a busy highway.[1] Robert Trent Jones redesigned the course in 1965.
The greens and fairways are composed of bent grass and water comes into play on one hole.
