Type Public
Par 72
Length 6438 yards
Slope 132
Rating 72.3

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.

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.

Pleasantly Surprised

I have driven by Chemng multiple times and said I should play that course. I was tight for time but I got 9 holes in. The greens were challenging. Course is well maintained I cannot wait to play again.

Great test of golf skills

Not a bomb and gouge course. Shot making is always at a premium. Greens can be tough if you get above the hole. Not a course to expect a low score consistently.

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!
