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.

Great course to Solo or Team play

I really enjoyed my couple of rounds at Chemung golf club. Greans were fast and challenging. Some awesome par 3's for sure. I will return for years to come.

Made to feel at home

I booked a tee time for Chemung Hills to play a round while traveling on vacation. I was slated to play alone, but when I checked in I was encouraged to play with the two-some in front of me. The two gentlemen worked at the course part-time. They were gracious enough to allow me to play the round with them. Having local veteran knowledge of the course was extremely beneficial especially for a beginner golfer like myself. The course is beautiful, challenging, and very well maintained. Couldn't have been a better day on the course.

I did stay for lunch at the clubhouse. I didn't think lunch was that great, but maybe I didn't order their best sandwich. Were I to go there again, I'd definitely golf there, but I'd get lunch somewhere else.

Nice layout, tough holes

The front nine is pretty open and can be scored upon. The back nine is much tighter and has lots of chances for big numbers. It's a pretty course, makes good use of the land for the most part. The course is in pretty good shape. It was aerated a few weeks ago and the greens were very slow when I played yesterday. If you make an online tee time, call to confirm before you go. I've played there five times this year. I've twice shown up to be told my tee time was moved back by a half hour or more. Once I arrived 30 minutes before my tee time planning to hit the range but was told I had to go directly to the tee if I wanted to play. Yesterday I had an 18 hole tee time and made the turn to find more than a dozen league players still waiting to tee off on the back nine. Each time the course has blamed GolfNow for giving away unauthorized tee times. Maybe that's the case but if I go back, I'll be confirming before I make the trip.

Our opinion.

The numbers of players were overbooked. We got lost after Hole #5. Finally found our way and was behind 4 groups. At the end of the 11th hole, we quit. That was after 3 hours and 15. We skipped Hole #7, to try to catch up. It didnt happen. Another golfer stated that they consistently overbook and its not uncommon to play a 6 x 6 1/2 hour round..

Oh geez. The response by a representative of Cheming Hills was sorely lacking. No reason given for the numerous complaints by the public relating to long wait on each hole and the disrespect they show to the golfers.

We will never wait our time there and neither should anyone else.

Never coming back

Got to course for 7am tee time. Booked as a single, got to the tee and there was a gentleman already teeing off. Starter asked us to pair up which is no biggie but then proceeded to tell us to jump in the same cart as they were “running out of carts”. It was 7am and their lot was full of carts. Had a good enough time with the stranger but clearly this course doesn’t care about their customers need for personal space. Have never had to jump on a cart with a stranger in my 16 years of golfing. Got my first ace at this course earlier in the year, been golfing here since I was 18, but because of this instance I will never be back

Course in great shape, too bad about the 5 1/2 hour round.

Course was in great shape, greens fast and true. Was a great value for what you get. Only downside was the 5 1/2 hour round on a Thursday morning, course could have used a ranger instead of a starter. Overall, we had a great time and will be back.

A well maintained golf course with many elevated tees - a very good value for a challenging layout.
