Established in 1927, Chemung Hills Golf Club is one Livingston County's oldest courses. The classic design has withstood the test of time beautifully and it is still considered one of the area's toughest public courses. The layout stretches across lush, rolling hills that are dappled with mature trees. Chemung Hills is known almost as much for the beautiful scenery as it is for the challenging design, which is characterized by its elevation changes. The ups and downs on the course range from subtly tricky to dramatic and intimidating. The layout has a player-friendly mix of short and mid-length holes, even all of the par 5s are reachable. Though you may not need length, your shots will need to be straight and accurate. You'll face blind shots on several holes. Strong iron play will be generously rewarded on this tough golf course.

Great Conditions for Early Spring!

I have played this course a lot and this was my first time playing here this season, I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the conditions were! As usual, the guy in the pro shop (I don’t know his name) was just as nice as could be!! I had an 8:30 tee time along with another golf now user. There was a 20 minute frost delay and 2 foursomes scheduled before us, but he let us go off before the two foursomes. We finished our round in 3 hours, which was awesome. I consider this my “home” course since I live less than five minutes away, and feel it is a really good, well balanced course with both some tough holes and some birdie holes. I usually do really well on the front and the back gets me but this time I was five over on the front and even on the back, but that’s golf. The only thing I could say needs an improvement is some of the tee boxes are not flat. So it’s sometimes hard to get a flat lie when teeing off.

Incredible Staff

The starters and staff in the pro shop would be a reason to return. We found the pin placements on a number of holes to ruin the round - take a reasonably difficult hole to one where you eventually just pick up as the ball landing a couple inches from the hole means rolling 30ft away!

Highly recommend

This was our first time here. Pace of play and course conditions were top notch. The staff was very friendly and helpful too. Also the buffalo chicken wrap was a game changer. We will be back and recommending to friends and family.

Very slow and backed up

Course was very backed up and very slow. We pulled off at 15 due to the back ups at each tee box of 1 or 2 groups in front of us. Did not make for an enjoyable round of golf for the price we paid and we really love this course normally.

Fun course

Course has a great layout with a good mix of swinging deep off the tee boxes and shot placement holes. Conditions are feeling the summer heat, especially around tee boxes and in the rough.

Scenic course for mid Michigan

The course was in great shape. Very busy. More scenic and hilly than most courses in the Livingston county area. 32 bucks for 9 holes seems a bit high to me though.

Decent

It’s a nice course, but at one time it was a Gem. The tees are hit or miss, the greens were very slow. Fairways and Rough were in good condition. The course plays very tight, possibly over grown, if you are having issues with your driver, you may not be able to find your ball. “That’s not a course issue, That’s a me issue”. All in all it was a fun day on a difficult course. It’s not at the top of my list, but very playable. Pro-shop doesn’t offer much, didn’t check out the Resturant, The Bevcart was readily available on a fairly busy day.

Nice course and not well known

Arrived at the course, got checked in after about 1 minute, hit some practice balls and putts and headed to the first tee. Was 1 under after 5 holes and thought the course was beautiful, but not particularly challenging. That changed. Course is tougher on the back nine (narrower). Greens were immaculate except for all the unrepaired ball marks. I don't understand why players can't take the extra 20 seconds to fix a ball mark. Was 44 miles to the course, but well worth it. But traveling M59 to get there, made the 44 miles seem like a special kind of commitment to playing Chemung. I'll be back.
