The Annual Bloody Bull Invitational

Less than an hour from Manhattan, the Hudson National experience awaits, taking invited guests worlds away from the hectic pace of everyday life. The sleepy village of Croton-on-Hudson provides an idyllic setting for Vanbridge’s exclusive, Annual Bloody Bull Invitational Golf tournament.

Friendship, camaraderie and memories built around the grand old game will unfold on Hudson’s championship layout, crafted by the artful hand of Tom Fazio and currently ranked 85th in the United States and 12th in NY State by Golf Digest.

Invited guests are treated to a pre-tournament lunch on the upper patio, and a spectacular private dinner after golf on the expansive terrace overlooking the Hudson River Valley. The evening concludes with the perfect ending to a perfect day…live music, hand rolled cigars and cordials by the fire.
