Two rounds. Two radically different courses. One legendary weekend.
The Chunky Invitational takes on West Point Golf Course on Friday and The Powelton Club on Saturday. Same crew, new challenges – bring extra balls and maybe a clean polo.
Tucked inside the U.S. Military Academy, West Point Golf Course is scenic, hilly, and occasionally chaotic – the perfect starting venue.
Opened in 1948 for cadets, now a low-key Hudson Valley gem. Civilians welcome – just clear security and ignore the cannon fire.
Uphill par 4 to wake up the legs. Views improve – scores may not.
Tee off into a valley. Dramatic, downhill, perfect for lost balls.
Driver looks tempting, but hug the left – Route 218 awaits slicers.
Final uphill grind, then straight to the snack bar. You’ve earned it.
It’s no Pebble Beach – and that’s fine. West Point is rugged, scenic, and exactly our speed.
Established 1882. Manicured parkland layout, Donald Ross greens, and a dress code that frowns on untucked tees – time to clean up.
Tight corridors, clever bunkering, slick greens. Where Friday encouraged bombs, Saturday demands precision.
Short par 4. Trees left, OB right – accuracy over ego.
False-front green running away. Land it soft or three-putt city.
Narrow landing zone, sloped fairway, deep bunkers – all in 400 yards.
Uphill toward the clubhouse gallery – last chance to impress or implode.
Conquer West Point on Friday, refine your game at Powelton on Saturday. Bring extra balls – and maybe Advil.
