Head Golf Professional

Nestled in the scenic Hudson Valley in Pawling, New York, Quaker Hill Country Club is a private country club defined by casual elegance and a rich sense of tradition. At its heart is a celebrated Robert Trent Jones Sr. nine-hole golf course, thoughtfully designed with separate tees for each nine and the rare luxury of play without tee times. Tennis, croquet, full-service dining, and a vibrant summer children's program create a warm and active club experience. Quaker Hill's stunning hilltop setting was chosen by founder Lowell Thomas in the late 1930s for its sweeping views and natural beauty. He enlisted the renowned architect to design a course that would challenge skilled golfers while remaining enjoyable for players of all abilities. Since opening in 1940, the course has welcomed generations of members and guests, including legends such as Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen.
