Firestone Country Club Is a Must-Visit for Westchester Golfers
“This place is pure,” said Rob Labritz when he arrived at Firestone Country Club for the Senior Players Championship in July. The PGA Tour Champions competitor and Director of Golf at GlenArbor GC in Bedford echoed the opinions of golfers at all levels when they visit the storied club in Akron, OH.
Firestone is a unique golf destination in many ways. It’s a private club with over 1,000 members, yet it welcomes stay-and-play visitors much like a public golf resort. It has three golf courses adjacent to one another, yet each one plays differently, so the challenges are never the same during your stay. Firestone is also where Tiger Woods has won eight times, a tie for the PGA Tour record for most number of wins in the same tournament.
