Tough course for average golfer, but it was on great shape, and staff was great. We were there for a tournament it was very well run. We had a great time

Whom ever has rated this course in the top 25 public courses in New York State needs a reality check. I’ll provide the good and bad from this visit. Reader; keep in mind as I write this review, I just spent the entire weekend in Binghamton playing three different courses. En-Joie (18 holes) on Friday, Conklin Players Club Saturday (36 holes) and Hiawatha (18 holes) on Sunday. The good: This is a beautiful designed links style course. Beautiful views with undulating fairways and greens. The fairways were maintained well and the green speed and firmness were perfect. The greens, fairways and design are what pushed this course from a 1 star review to a 3 star review. The bad: if you want to pay $75 dollars to play a course that smells like goose excrement and unplayable bunkers, look no further, this is your place. Bathe in the stink of rotten pond scum and goose excrement, chip from the clay bunkers or better yet dent your irons from the hard pan and fist sized stone in the other bunkers. It’s a shame honestly, this course has serious potential, they obviously know what they’re doing because the greens were amazing, but the bunkers and stink were too much. They claim to be the home course for Binghamton University, I say good luck to any collegiate athlete that has to hack through this track.

Challenging yet beautiful course. Greens were lightning fast. Very nice layout if you like playing links course. We enjoyed the round but: No cart people on course. It was the weekend when you have the best opportunity to win new customers and satisfy their hunger and thirst. Big nothing. Those cart paths.....some are really in tough condition. Course marshal to insure pace of play equal 4 hours. That didn't happen. Nice course with limited amenities.

Course was in fantastic shape! Good pace of play.

Been playing here for 25 years. Generally speaking 2-3 time a summer. Somewhere along the line what was once a top course in the area has aged poorly and the price has continued to soar After seeing the reviews here, I see the same excuse is used a lot that I was told when I forged my complaint. “Heavy rains destroyed the bunkers” and “the dicks qualifier was here recently and the pros didn’t complain” First off the weather has been perfect this last 5-6 weeks for golf courses. There was rain early in the season. We played a late morning round and it was clear the fairway and green side bunkers hadn’t been worked over in days. Old hard footprints everywhere. The Cartpaths are falling apart, it took 5 hours to play as there is no starter or Marshall to be seen, no cart girl or water on the course on a warm weekend day, and the course smells like a swamp now that they’ve stopped any sort of maintenance on the big pond area by 18. We paid nearly 80 dollars and found the experience better at every other local course. If you’re looking to splurge I’d recommend Conklin instead
