Course Comments:
The Ives Hill Country Club Golf Course is one of Northern New York's premiere golf courses, and also one of its oldest. Ives Hill's original 9 hole facility was designed by Maurice McCarthy and opened in 1897. The additional 9 holes to make Ives Hill an 18 hole USGA regulation course were completed in 1972 by course designer Geoffrey Cornish (designed CC of Ithaca, another State Days tournament site).
