Chemung Hills Golf Club
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Short but lovely course
A challenging, well designed course. Only a couple holes for long ball hitters, but iron players will fall in love with it.
This was my first time playing Chemung but it won’t be the last.
Great time playing Chemung Hills
Coarse was in really great shape, especially after the major storm that swept through, many trees damaged and no power for 4+ days. Most everything was cleaned up and no damage affected the play. Good variety of holes and elevation changes. Will definitely play again soon. Friendly staff too!
I love the change of slopes. It’s not just a flat course and it is laid out between trees so it can be tight sometimes. It has several sets of tees depending on your skill set and like me a senior golfer.
Good value on golf now. But the staff because you get your tee time on golf now, let people that had teetimes after us go first because they paid the higher rate not fair. I booked a tee time. I want my tee time.
The Golfnow’s price was almost double what the course offered.
The course: with the exception of nearly every tee box the course was in excellent shape.
We eat at the restaurant of Friday evening which was two days before we played. Locals love this place and I definitely know why. Friendly staff and very good food. Portions are large and a great value for the money.
Challenging but fun course
Every year I visit Whitmore lake area and always play this well maintained and challenging golf course. I highly recommend it. Very reasonably priced and great staff.
Chemung Hills
The pro‑shop staff was excellent. We arrived early and were supposed to be paired with a single. After waiting at the 1st tee for the group ahead of us—who were nowhere in sight—the starter called the clubhouse and cleared us to tee off early. From there, it was smooth sailing for the rest of the day. Thank you to the pro‑shop team!
Challenging course
Enjoyed this course. Well maintained and friendly staff. Rolling hills and very entertaining place. One of the more challenging courses I play every year. Tight fairways and challenging greens. The course makes you think and play. Some days you win...some days the course has your number. Will play here again.
Nice course
Tight course that is fun to play if you stay in the fairways.
Good Course
The course was challenging, I'm female and played from the White tee's. The greens still need some work, there appeared to be 2 different grass types on some of the greens? There was no ranger, that we saw. The 3 people ahead became slower and slower with each adult beverage so by the back 9 the two of us were waiting every hole and the 4 some behind us keeping racing up on us when we were trying to tee off. I guess they weren't paying attention to the 3 drinkers ahead of us ... ugh! WE really needed a ranger to keep the pace. Other than that, the bev cart girl was great and kept us happy. The bartender, Sarah, inside was very personable & quick. We'll be back for sure. Overall good course.
Tee boxes
Ive said this for years and will continue to say it. There tee boxes are turtle backs. Its hard to find a flat spot too tee up, if they leveled out the tee boxes this course would be immaculate.
It’s a hot deal course.
If you get a hot deal, play this course. The hot deals are representative of what the value of the course is. Anymore, and you overpaid. There is no wow factor here. It’s a solid course but I wouldn’t pay full price. You could play better courses for the full rate. My only knock on course conditions are the bunkers. They are terrible. However, I have played over 30 rounds this year already, and this is a problem almost everywhere. Pace of play was not good. However, it’s not a unique problem here. Every course needs trained rangers and we need to employee pace rules.
