Course Comments:
The golf course at the Country Club of Ithaca, an 18-hole layout designed by famed golf course architect Geoffery Cornish, sits perched above Ithaca, New York amongst mature forests and rolling hills. The golf course is a par 72, and at 6,340 and 5,844 yards for the middle and forward tees, respectively, the course does not play extremely long. Strategy plays an important role for good scoring on this golf course. Many of the holes have subtle doglegs (though some are not so subtle!) which require accurate tee shots to circumvent fairway bunkers while fast, sloped greens require a deft touch. Go around here thoughtfully and you will be rewarded.
