Colgate Inn

Seven Oaks has recently gone under some major renovations, and I cant wait to return to play the course after those updates have settled in. Some of the greens were just opening back up, and were not perfect, thus the 4-star condition rating.

Clubhouse was also recently updated, the Pro Shop and Restaurant were fantastic.

First-rate golf experience, this entire facility seems well managed. I would always return to play here whenever I’m in the area.

This course is fantastic and only getting better. Seven Oaks has been undergoing renovations, and I cannot wait to see the finished product. Two of the greens are still showing signs of those renovations. The day we played was the first day that the green on hole #1 was open, and it was a bit bumpy. The guys in the pro shop were great, and talked us through all of it. On top of all the course renovations, they also added a brand new putting green and clubhouse. The clubhouse had a fully stocked pro shop, and a wonderful restaurant.

In the process of a renovation so some holes/greens not yet as expected

Golf pro needs to work on his hospitality, was not pleased with how he was acting towards us. It was a very slow day, got stuck behind a two foursomes who were very slow. But other than all of that it was overall a fun course.

This course is one of the finest courses upstate NY delivers, and it’s public. Not the first time I’ve played, but when I played, there were SEVERAL renovations going on, all of which bring the course back to the way it was intended to play when it was built due to some overgrowth and technology changes… all of those changes will drastically improve an already tremendous golf course.

What blows me away, is the week day value of playing a course like this, for less than $50, you can walk the course (which this is one of the finest walking courses there is) Monday-Thursday. Weekends get a little steep but the course is still packed and pace of play suffers a little, but you’ll never regret making the trip to see this RTJ gem.

There was constriction on two of the holes during the peak golf hours that left us disappointed. They never said a word about the construction when we checked in the pro shop before the round.

Tough course. Longer than avg par 4’s. Reason for low rating on course conditions is due to weather. Light, steady drizzle started on 3rd hole.

Also, driving range advertised, but you have to get back in your car to drive there.

I’d like to visit again on a dry day. Great manicure of course. Greens were consistent.

Course was in good condition. The layout features a lot of holes with water hazards in the landing areas. The big thing was the rough. Not long but very thick making just finding the ball iffy.
