Cooperstown experience

The baseball hall of fame was the reason we were there. The 3 best things in Cooperstown are the baseball hall of fame, Ommegang brewery and this golf course. Beautiful setting and the course was wet but in great shape. It’s part of the experience and well worth it. The staff was great and we will go back again.

Above average course

Pro shop check in was easy although the day I was there parking was a major issue. Literally no spaces and I had to park on the street with my passenger side wheels on the sidewalk...but no curb. Course layout and views were exceptional in places. Greens were not completely grown in yet.
Golfnow early season deal was the only reason I could afford this place. For those well-off financially the full season rate of $150 would be ok because of the beauty of the course. I would probably drive the 1 and a half hours to the course once a year if I get the same or similar deal.

Favorite Course in NT State

This is my favorite course in NYS and one of if not Devereux Emmets best with only maybe Huntington Cc or Copake Lake being better. These are some of the quickest and coolest greens you can play by Emmet.

The finishing 18th hole is one of the best around. I would add this course to any trip to the baseball HOF!

Another great day

Resort course, and when you're lucky enough to catch a deal, book it. Played at least 3 times this season there. Always in great shape.

New York Golf at it's best

Leatherstocking is a New York treasure. The beauty, challenge, layout, amenities, you'll be hard pressed to find a better golf experience.. I played with my wife who's not a strong golfer and she thoroughly enjoyed it.

A gem in Cooperstown

It had been 40 years since I last played the course. I had forgotten how small and challenging the greens are. It is a superb older layout that definitely requires you to golf your ball. There are great views as well. I was so glad I got the opportunity to play the course again.

Good Course but too busy

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.

Stay out of the traps

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

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!

Awesome Fall Golf

This course never falls short of a great golf day…good score or bad….we had an amazing day of golf at a very reasonable price for a wonderful course…the views and course layout are spectacular an d the surrounding area of Cooperstown is worth the trip. I started my morning with a 4 mile hike at Glimmerglass State Park and a walk around the village, which includes the Baseball Hall of Fame, quaint shops/restaurants/distillery/etc., Doubleday Field, and more. A 1.5 hourish drive from the Syracuse area on a pretty day. Take the time and make a day of it!😊
