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.

Classic old course. Keep it in fairway

This course was built in 1927 and has a lot of historic value. It is fun to play and requires good iron play. Keep the driver in the bag as much as possible. You don't want to be in the woods and blocked out from your next shot. The good thing is that they have designed the course so you can play it out of the woods with low grass. Not like new courses where you lose 10 balls and slow up play. It's more difficult than yardage shows.

Awesome staff!

Course is a joy to play. Greens could be in better shape by that's from players not repairing their divots. At times pace of play can be on the slow side. Staff is always helpful and smiling. Easily one of the best courses in the area.

Need Rangers

This is a nice golf course with a challenging layout with friendly staff. Too bad they let a few SLOW golfers ruin it for the rest of us. There is no excuse for a five(5) hour round of golf. No rangers on the course to speed up play. With all the choices for play in Michigan we will not be returning due to the slow play.

Good place to play for the money

Played this course on the Saturday before Father's Day. We played 18 holes in 4 hours and 15 minutes. Only waiting a couple times and only for a few minutes. The course was in good condition. This was worth the 1 hour drive from our house to the course.

Nice Ols Style Course

If you haven't yet... You should play this course, you will be surprised at the quality of a course located in a small (but growing) town. Certain holes need to be played with your head instead of your bravado. Greens in great condition except one that looks as though it is still recover from winter kill. Bottom line, you won't be disappointed.

Single player, great course.

This is the fifth or sixth time I have played Chemung and it progressively has gotten better and better. The last time I played, they were in transition of switching the front nine and the back nine around. Course had less par 3's than normal; however, that is fine to me. I will definitely recommend and play again.

Greens were terrible

Again- I find a decent deal for a few of my buddies to go here and give it a go. Have had bad experiences with staff in the past (rangers constantly heckling claiming slow play or that we had beers we didnt buy from the course). Either way, I live in the area, like the course and wanted to give it another try. For the price we paid, no one could argue. This time, i will say that the staff was much better. and i suppose that was the only positive as the greens on this course are in TERRIBLE condition. Midway through the round we just all started writing down 2 puts and calling it good. Id say 6 out of the 18 greens were actually playable.

Interesting, narrow course. Shame about greens.

Interesting old style course with narrow fairways cut between the woodland meaning anything other than 'out of the middle' drives are punished and lost balls are commonplace. It's a nice challenge but there is 1 problem - the greens are in terrible shape, which is a shame because in the places where they are OK the greens are fast and challenging. It's worth playing once, but given the choice in the area you're not likely to play it much more than that in a season.

Greens and Bartender Need Help

All in all it's a great course but the greens are a mess and we have yet to have a bartender that can actually make a drink and get a warm hot dog to you . The bartenders have been very unfriendly Not a big concern when they bring you cold food that should be hot. The golf Rangers are friendly and nice as well as the people working in the pro shop.

Playing Condition

Played the course in 2014 and it was in excellent condition. Went back earliy this year, May 1st, and found that many of the greens are damaged from the harsh winter conditions. Many greens were not puttable.. I thought they should warn people ahead of time and tell them what they are doing to repair.

Fun Course.Good Value fpr the money

Played this course a number of times and it has always been fun. Not a difficult course but not too easy either. A fair, fun course for the average golfer. Never seems to be too busy, which is nice. Fairly well manicured, although they had aerated the course earlier in the week so some of the greens were a little rough to putt on, but it is a necessary maintenance procedure that understandably has to be done . Can't complain for $19. Great weather, fun course so a great day.
