New York Golf Courses : Chemung County
Chemung County has a long and rich history. The name itself dates back to 1779 when pioneers named the area after a Native American village that was destroyed at the Battle of Newtown, during the American Revolution. In the Delaware dialect of the Algonquin language, the word Chemung means (Place of the big horn). This harkens back to a time when Native Americans discovered large mammoth tusks along what is now the Chemung River. Chemung County began being settled in earnest by 1784. Because of its strategic location at the southern end of the Finger Lakes Region, Chemung County is known as the (Gateway to the Finger Lakes). The County Seat, Elmira, is known as the (Soaring Capital of America), due to the fact that nearby Harris Hill has been hosting national soaring (sailplane) competitions since 1930. Today, Chemung County's heart is beating with the vitality of a modern business center with many nice New York golf courses, yet remains peaceful in nature. Chemung County's veins are rich in history, commerce and community spirit. Let’s see the many nice New York golf courses in Chemung County.

This beautiful little course is relatively flat with tree-lined fairways. It is a picturesque layout with elevated tees and several sand bunkers. A creek runs through the design, as well as a pond that comes into play on a few holes. The fairways vary between narrow and wide, and the medium-speed greens are about 3,000 square feet in size.

This course is the only one in the area that features the Cayman golf ball. The ball is similar in every respect to a regular ball, however, it does not travel as far outside of forty yards. Therefore, it allows players to use every club in their bag and finish a round in forty-five minutes. The greens on this course are large and very fast. The green fee is good for all-day play.

This hilly course plays tougher than it looks because you must hit off so many uneven lies. The tree-lined fairways are narrow, and the small greens are fast. The signature hole is 7, a 172-yard, par 3, requiring a tee shot over water to the green.

New York Golf Courses Comments:
This hilly course features frequently watered fairways, tees, and greens, so conditions are generally soft and plush. Even though the fairways are tree lined, they do afford generous landing areas. In addition, the small greens are average speed and putt true.

New York Golf Courses Comments:
This club has an eighteen hole regulation course and a nine hole regulation course. The Pines/Bitter Creek Eighteen Hole Course was built on rolling terrain and features tree-lined fairways. There are many dogleg fairways, and the greens are well bunkered. The Willows Nine Hole Course has no sand or grass bunkers, but hole 9, a 440-yard, par 4, has a pond located just in front of the green. The club offers two warm-up holes, so there won't be any excuses if you duff your opening tee shot.
