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.

Hilltoppin' in Howell

What a cool layout of a course for the value! The rolling hills of the Chemung GC were the highlight of it all. Great views of the surrounding area including a cool view of a nearby NoWakeLake.

They start you at the tippy top of the hill at #1 and #10. So you pretty much start at the top, play down and turn back on the top. Very cool idea.

The downfall: HOLY MOLY IT WAS HARD AS A ROCK! If you hit the fairway it would add an extra 15-20 yards, if you miss the fairway...you're looking for it in the woods or long cut. Also, you better be flush with your wedges because I had 4 shots bounce of the greens. So hard.

All and all, super cool layout...Such an amazingly nice and knowledgeable Ranger at top and for the value... I defffff recommend it just to check out the views and layout if anything!

Staff were great, just didn’t enjoy having to wait 10 mins to tee on every hole. We had three 4 balls in front of us, two people waiting behind constantly. We needed up finishing 9th and waited so long we asked to play the front 9 again, managed to get back on that and even then had to wait. Just seemed like they booked too many people! Course was fine and again staff were all good.

Potential

I had a good time playing with my buddy and the course does have some potential. There is just way too much hard-pan areas that need some serious watering, grass planted, etc. Chipping is brutal because of it.

Fantastic all around

Starting with the staff, and ending with dinner after the round, Chemung Hills is the best golf course for value, and friendliness you'll play. The course itself is in great shape, even with the challenges they've faced this year.

Mike and Brigid are great people. They manage the facility like a Christmas gathering at the grandparents, very welcoming and like family. Their staff from the pro shop the the clubhouse restaurant and bar, are obviously following their team leaders. Great service!

The course itself has elevation, very tough but fair green complexes, and excellent conditioning, even with a dry spring and mechanical issues with their pumphouse for watering.

All in all, a fantastic value all around.

Great course

First time playing here and I will definitely return. The gentleman in the pro shop was very friendly and gave me some tips that helped. Early tee time so the pace was perfect. Course is in very good condition. Tee boxes may have been the worst part, but they are not bad at all. The greens are firm but not unfair. They were undulating and quick, and they rolled true. Playing it a couple more times would be nice because a couple false fronts got me. I used almost every club in the bag, with a couple fairway woods and long irons off the tee. I highly recommend this course!
