Layout excellent, fairways need work.

Love the layout and the greens were superb. Unfortunately the fairways had several issues and not what you would expect for a round of golf that costs $150.

Amazing Course

I'm writing this review just so I can upload the pictures I took of this place, wow! I did get to play with a member, Justin, who only enhanced the experience with his local knowledge. Stunning course a must play if you are anywhere nearby. I walked from the Hall of Fame to this course, nothing was going to stop me. Staff was very friendly and conditions immaculate. Check out my pics!

Old Time Layout with Small Fast Greens

Enjoyed playing this great public layout in Cooperstown, NY. Great condition and fast, small greens. Spend some time on the putting green if you can. Beautiful views and nice variety of holes. 18th is a fun finishing par 5 that requires a drive over the pond so figure out how much you can carry. Great staff and solid value.

Round of golf at Leatherstocking

I booked an early tee time & played with my son & his friend who are both very good golfers. The course was in very good condition for this early in the year. The maintenance crew was out mowing the fairways & working on the course. I love the layout especially the last 3 holes where there is water that comes into play. I will say I lost a few balls on these holes. Beautiful views of Otsego Lake on many of the holes. I was hoping to break 90 & shot 92 as I 3 putted several greens. My son played much better on the back with all pars & 3 birdies except for 1 bogey & he shot 73. We were the first group out at 8:03 & finished the round at 12:08 which is a good pace of play. Will definitely go back!

The day couldn't been better

The course did fall maintenance just 4 days before. You would not have noticed. Conditions excellent. Pace of play, we almost had the course to ourselves. Beautiful fall weather. Not the first time I've given this course 5 stars.

Leatherstocking

It has been over 10 years since we last played Leatherstocking. Fast greens with manicured fairways, tees, and traps were evident on every hole. We played the white tees for the first time as we are all in our early 70s. A great day was enjoyed by all. A must play. Check this splendid course off your bucket list !!

Pros: Beautiful course and scenery. Friendly staff. Course maintenance in top shape.

Cons: several spots on course where golfers on one hole are in danger of being struck by errant shots from other holes.
