The Chunky Invitational

The Chunky Invitational

Two rounds. Two radically different courses. One legendary weekend.

Weekend graphic

Two Courses, One Chaotic 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.

Day 1 – West Point Golf Course

Course entrance

Tucked inside the U.S. Military Academy, West Point Golf Course is scenic, hilly, and occasionally chaotic – the perfect starting venue.

Historic West Point view

A Bit of Background

Opened in 1948 for cadets, now a low-key Hudson Valley gem. Civilians welcome – just clear security and ignore the cannon fire.

Featured Holes

Hole 1

Hole 1 – Welcome to the Hill

Uphill par 4 to wake up the legs. Views improve – scores may not.

Hole 4

Hole 4 – The Cliff Shot

Tee off into a valley. Dramatic, downhill, perfect for lost balls.

Hole 11

Hole 11 – Roadside Temptation

Driver looks tempting, but hug the left – Route 218 awaits slicers.

Hole 18

Hole 18 – March Out

Final uphill grind, then straight to the snack bar. You’ve earned it.

Logistics

Worth a Round?

It’s no Pebble Beach – and that’s fine. West Point is rugged, scenic, and exactly our speed.

From hills to heritage – round two brings a whole new vibe.

Day 2 – The Powelton Club

Powelton entrance

Established 1882. Manicured parkland layout, Donald Ross greens, and a dress code that frowns on untucked tees – time to clean up.

Historic clubhouse

A Different Kind of Challenge

Tight corridors, clever bunkering, slick greens. Where Friday encouraged bombs, Saturday demands precision.

Powelton Highlights

Hole 2

Hole 2 – Tightly Wound

Short par 4. Trees left, OB right – accuracy over ego.

Hole 6

Hole 6 – Ross’s Revenge

False-front green running away. Land it soft or three-putt city.

Hole 13

Hole 13 – The Gauntlet

Narrow landing zone, sloped fairway, deep bunkers – all in 400 yards.

Hole 18

Hole 18 – Finish in Style

Uphill toward the clubhouse gallery – last chance to impress or implode.

Logistics

Back-to-Back Bragging Rights

Conquer West Point on Friday, refine your game at Powelton on Saturday. Bring extra balls – and maybe Advil.
