Here's the deal....put your cell phone away, and take it all in...It's a good track with amazing views....have lunch/drinks on the patio.....go hit balls at the range before (you need to take your car there, so give yourself some extra time.) You don't need to hit the ball long, just be accurate/smart. The more you play, the better it gets....it's... More

A wonderful golf course with beautiful holes. It's a little pricey, but still on a vacation it was worth the price. The course is well maintained and fun to play.

Gorgeous scenery, challenging golf. Makes the price of staying at The Otesaga tolerable. We got our first glimpse of fall color and lovely views of the resort. Don't miss this if you're a golfer. I'm not much of one but loved this place. 18th hole is incredible.

The playing of Leatherstocking is distracting because of the scenery, but it is best to concentrate putting. The greens are not large but very rolling and grain also plays a role. Being the first time on the course i gave myself a few mulligans on long putts. Even though I played in October and arification was going on, the course... More

Played with 3 buddies, all handicaps about 14-15, no one broke 90 and if we really kept score (played 6s) would have been closer to 100. The course is not really long (played from the white tees) but very challenging to your short game, many elevated greens, well guarded with bunkers and moguls, are you really good with your 60...

Despite some tee shots that will reactivate your acid reflux, the Leatherstocking Golf Course in Cooperstown NY will provide as bucolic a parkland golfing experience as you will ever find. Bordered by Lake Otsego (the 'Mirrormere' of James Fenimore Cooper fame), the world famous Farmers and Fenimore Art Museums and bisected by the stonewalled state route 20, the course challenges...
