Length 6438 yards

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 value overall

The course layout is very nice. More challenging that it initially appears. Greens were a bit brown and dry, but it's early and are generally in great shape with a little speed to them.

Pace of play can be a big issue here unfortunately. The starter does basically nothing but check receipts doing very little to get groups off in a timely manner. My tee time was 11:30 and I hit my first shot just after noon. This is a common occurrence.

The first 3 or 4 holes are always a total cluster here. It will often pick up after that but without a ranger pace of play will grind to a halt at some other point in the round likely. Very common to have a group backing things up with many open holes in front of them, yet they don't let anyone pass.

The nice layout and typically nice greens make the price worth it but just know it might not be a smooth round. Most of the staff here is super friendly and very welcoming.

Better Than Expected

I played the this course last Summer 2020 and I thought it was in better shape this time around. I was surprised at how quickly the greens were rolling and in fact I didn't leave one putt short the entire day which is unlike me. The bunkers were soft even though most golfers still don't rake their traps.. Once Summer 2021 gets here I would expect this course to be in really good condition.

Why Doesn’t Tony want my money?

Challenging track with excellent greens but not worth putting up with the nasty staff with so many other good options in the area.

Lovely November day and the course was in great shape. Old course with excellent blend of short and long par 4 holes. Greens have great contours and are quick.
