US Open course.

Guardia (regular bus service to Metro-North trains) is the closest
major hub, followed by JFK
International (bus and shuttle servcies into the area) and Newark

to the New Haven line). The major airlines also run North American flights
into Westchester County
Airport, which is in White Plains, just a few miles away from Winged
Foot.

Local sights and sounds: For local attractions, try the Westchester County Office of tourism for events and listings. There's also a Mamaroneck village website. Winged Foot is so close to central NY, that you'll also enjoy the city's offerings. Try the try the NY Times city guide or the official city tourist website.
