WESTCHETER COUNTRY CLUB, Rye, NY

BANQUET SOUS CHEF

WESTCHETER COUNTRY CLUB VISION

A self-made man from Toronto, John McEntree Bowman came to New York when he was seventeen. He began his career as a groom in a stable and worked his way up to eventually owning the Biltmore hotel group, one of the most exclusive and largest hotel chains in the world at that time. Mr. Bowman sought to create the sportsman’s paradise within easy reach of the bustling Manhattan. He would go on to purchase land in both Harrison and Rye, NY for his flagship hotel project, the Westchester Biltmore.

Mr. Bowman’s vision … “Members would live in the hotel and in homes on the grounds. The Club staff would take care of all services, both in the hotel and in the homes. Meals would be delivered to the homes from the hotel kitchen. Maids and gardeners would be called in from the hotel to address all the Members’ needs. A large garage with a platoon of mechanics would service the cars of the Members. And there would even be an airfield to manage the Members’ planes in the coming age of flight. As for sporting facilities, the Club would offer the finest in golf, tennis, polo, horseback riding, swimming, boating, squash, tobogganing, skating, shooting, skiing…everything. It was going to be the most beautiful, most luxurious hotel-club-community anywhere. And, of course, no expenses were spared.”

ABOUT THE CLUB

Originally 583 acres of land were purchased from Hobart J. Park, at $2,500 an acre. Two months later a 62-acre tract was bought on Manursing Island, valued at $375,000. The following month 35 acres were purchased from the old Hill Estate on Parks Farm. In the summer of 1919 construction of the eight-story hotel at the top of the hill was begun, under New York architects Warren and Wetmore in the style of a nineteenth-century Italian villa. Landscape architects were Charles W. Leavitt & Sons. Billington and Smith-Mertz were contracted to build the polo field and five miles of roads. On May 15, 1922, John McEntree Bowman formally opened the Westchester Country Club. Almost 1,500 members joined, paying an initiation fee of $25.
