Fall golf

If you can catch this course for under $100, grab it. Beautiful fall foliage and views of the lake. Couse.was in excellent conditions. Have played here in both spring and fall. If I get another chance will be back again

Nice challenging course with slick greens and undulations … accuracy is rewarded … the course has great views of the lake and an opportunist time to play is in the fall when the colors are popping… would recommend that everyone plays here at least once !!

Perfect golf course

The course is open to the public but maintained and operated like a private club

Ugh the Greens

I love fast greens...and these were FAST. However, they were also the size of postage stamps. If your apporach lands short, good luck running the ball up, it won't stop!

Most scenic course in NY

Absolutely stunning views of Otesgo Lake and surrounding area. Challenging layout with bunkers around the greens, and even a middle fairway bunker. As a relatively new golfer i found it very player friendly. Pace of play was a huge issue and got worse as our round progressed. There was a very slow group in front of us that that was slowing at least 6 groups behind them and no ranger to monitor pace of play. Definitely would recommend playing.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Multiple people bouncing from different holes, bottle decks quite frustrating with delays on course.

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.
