Course was in very good conditioning and challenging. We played around 11 am, holes cross many car/truck roads that were busy thus you have to constantly wait for traffic to clear before you can hit to elevated greens. crossing roads. Plus we had a very slow group with members who had us and another 6 groups pass them but still had a number of holes that played really slow and no Marshalls to help keep pace of play.

I really enjoyed this course. It was open enough to swing away but yet it had its points where you had to be very accurate off the T as well as with your approach shots. Getting in one of the bunkers is possibly a nightmare. I have my bangs and soft sand, so if you’re up close to the rim, good luck getting out

Started my 2023 season at Leatherstocking. Couldn't believe how few players were out. Course was in great shape. Just wish I could have kept my score lower.

Great layout. Some holes look easy until you see the elevation changes and positioning of bunkers. Very dry for this time of year, and the greens were in great shape. I would say score well on the front nine, the back nine has a few holes where water comes into play which can make it difficult. I would recommend this course to beginner golfers to players who have played awhile!

A few tee boxes under repair otherwise in great shape

We had a great day at Leatherstockiing Golf Club yesterday. Course was in great condition, staff was extremely friendly and helpful and we look forward to playing there again soon !!

Beautiful golf course, with some very challenging holes. No on course amenities! Course does not come back to the clubhouse for the turn, so no cart Girl means a dry back nine. We were met by a couple very unfriendly groundsmen, and very slow clubhouse service.

If it were just golf, this course would be a 9 out of 10. It, unfortunately did not give my family a real resort course experience.

In from out of town playing this beautiful course for the first time. Manageable from the back (green) tees at 6,400 yards. As advertised, #17 and #18 are the gems, with #11, a long par 5 up on the ridge line overlooking the lake a close third. Conditions were excellent, as expected. Greens were very firm, so front half of the green was a good bet for most holes. Bought the $8 yardage book, which it was definitely worth it and a nice souvenir. Pace of play at 8a on a vacation Wednesday was good at 3.5 hours, but could’ve been quicker. Staff were super efficient, kind, and helpful. Be aware: driving range is 5 mins down the road in your car (as others have noted). You buy tokens at the clubhouse and then get back in your car to go over to the range. Practice green is also across a couple holes away from #1 tee. So overall, I’d say get there at least 15 extra minutes before your round if you wanna warm up and get a feel for the greens.

Two main gripes: 1) there’s no colored flag or other system for pin locations, nor GPS in the cart. For me, just having a GPS watch and no rangefinder, and lots of elevated greens, it was hard to know how deep the pin was on more than half the holes. So basically, bring your rangefinder if you have one. 2) Price: for $135 (relative to the otherwise pretty reasonably priced courses around the area), I would have expected more amenities — no GPS in the carts as noted, never saw the beverage cart during our 8-11:30a round (and since you don’t pass the clubhouse at the turn, that’s even more of an issue), and no drinking water on the course anywhere.

Overall, glad I played this beautiful place, but will probably look for a different higher end course next time I’m visiting family up here.

This course was everything I thought it was gonna be and much much more just beautiful or the most beautiful golf courses in the country. What a Beautiful Pl., Cooperstown, NY

Really enjoy playing this course. Challenging layout, excellent conditions and very scenic.

Greens are challenging, lots of breaks and undulations.

A couple of things:

1. Water should be available on the course; it's not.

2. Signage needs to indicate where to proceed between the 8th and 9th hole. Easy to get lost if you're not familiar with the course.

Greens still doing their spring wake-up. A few bare spots but overall good conditions. Tee to green in very good conditions.

This course is phenomenal and has extremely tough/quick greens. 5 star views and conditions. The course has a nice variety of holes and because of the quality of the greens I feel this course wont ever lose its lust. Would go back in a heart beat

Only negative- the price of and don’t play after rain, no cart paths extremely wet conditions, haven’t played there enough to call it a drainage issue- we played after a very rainy few weeks so might have been irregular.

Love playing Leatherstocking; scenic course in very good condition.

However, not sure it's worth $130/round — especially since the bathrooms in the clubhouse weren't working and there is NO water provided anywhere on the course and no opportunities to purchase water either. Inexcusable oversight in the summer heat.
