Courses:

En-Joi Golf Club                                                                                                                    This beautiful championship golf course in located in Endicott, nestled in the heart of the Susquehanna Valley.  Home to the PGA Tour’s BC Open from 1972 to 2006, boasting champions the likes of Tom Kite, John Daly, Brad Faxon and Craig Stadler.  Since July 2007, the course plays host tot the Champions Tour’s Dick’s Sporting Goods Open.   This track is fairly flat, but with tree-lined fairways and plenty of water hazards.  In fact, water comes into play on ten holes.  Most of the greens are slightly sloped, but some are very undulating.  The signature hole is #15, a 432-yard par 4, which was continuously listed by the PGA Tour as one of the eighteen toughest holes in the US. It requires two well-positioned shots over water to have a chance at a birdie.  Water all along the left side of the hole and a bunker on the right, guards this very narrow fairway.  The green is slick and runs back towards the water.

Endwell Greens Golf Club
This track, designed by Geoffrey Cornish and Bill Robinson in 1965, features tree-lined fairways that are wide.  You may experience generous landing areas, but you will encounter seven dogleg fairways. Ponds and creeks also come into play on eight holes.  The greens are very large and undulating and some are well protected by bunkers.  This hilly course will also give you a few uneven lies.  There is also a new 6-hole, Par 3 course, plus horseshoes, bocci ball, volleyball, badminton and basketball.  What a place to stay and play!

Conklin Players Club
CPC will challenge the mind as well as the body. The front nine is rolling and the back nine was designed to play up a mountain. #16, 17 & 18 are up, up and away! So get ready.  This Rick Rickard designed course of 1991 features open fairways and greens of medium speed and size.  Water hazards (drainage ditches and ponds) come into play on eight holes.  Hole #8 will get you ready for a brew at the turn.  The 420-yard long, par 4 challenges you with water all along the right side.  You can save some distance off your drive, but don't cut too much water. The uplink  3-D color graphic caddy (GPS) system is installed on all golf carts.
Ranked as one of the 201 best public golf courses in North America earning a 4 1/2 star rating from Golf Digest 2000-2007. ZAGAT Rated 2005 -2007

The Links at Hiawatha Landing
This links-style track was designed by Brian Silva and Mike Mungeam and is rated 4 Stars by Golf Digest with special recognition for service and course condition.  It was built on gently rolling topography and features wind swept sand bunkers and native grasses in the rough.   Water comes into play on seven holes, yet there are no forced carries.  Best of all, there are no blind tee shots or blind greens.  Beautiful views of the Susquehanna River may be seen from many holes.  Hole #14 is absolutely stunning.  This one plays tough with fairway bunkers on both sides of the landing area and a fast, undulating green tucked behind a trap in front and on the right. The 17th and 18th holes are two of the most exciting finishing holes on any course. From the first tee to the last green, The Links at Hiawatha Landing issues an endless series of choices, making each hole and each round as inspiring as the first.  Situated along the banks of the Susquehanna River between the Finger Lakes and the Catskill Mountains, The Links at Hiawatha Landing may be New York State’s best kept secret.
