Very good course But overpriced

The course is one of the best in the area but not good enough to justify $85 plus $20 for half a cart.

it is a short course by modern standards. Low handicap amateurs will find that they can't use driver on many holes. High handicappers will find it too difficult.

The greens are usually quick and very difficult to putt. Note that most putts fall towards the several creeks that flow through the middle of the course.

It is subject to flooding and many fairways don't drain too well.

There is a practice area near the course and you must pay for balls.

Always enjoyable

I played here 5 times this year if it was closer to my I would play more. Condition always great staff friendly and helpful. We did get very slowed down by a 5some in front of us and at the turn we reported them to the pro and he delt with it immediately and apologized to us. Excellent professionalism. Highly recommend this course

Nice course.

It was a little tight in a few spots but didn’t cause any issues. I’d recommend this course.

Nice course with challenging layout

I enjoyed playing this course. It’s playable while having plenty of fairway hazards and bunkers to make this a challenging course.

Great course

The fairways were lush, the first cut of rough was very playable and the rough was deep and thick. The greens were pretty fast and the pins were back and in tough locations. The gps app for your phone was great. Showed the hole and hazards. Distances were updated to your current location on the course every shot. The staff was very friendly and met us upon arrival to get our clubs and put on our carts.

Impeccable !!!!

Been playing the course for many years now. I purposely haven’t played in a couple years just so I could play once all the upgrades have been completed. Everything from the new carts,cart paths, putting green, clubhouse and several fairway bunkers and green resurfacing. It’s all perfect. What a gem of a course

College course...and it gets an A+

As as a first timer playing here, staff told me to watch for signs as certain holes did not follow directly from the one you just played. Glad I got those instructions.

Enjoyed the course and would play it again.

Most Challenging Fun NCAA Course

I'm biased as a alum but 7Oaks is the best college course there is. I have played Cornell, NC State, UWash, Duke, UGA, and others but Colgate's Course is head and shoulders above in design, challenge, and beauty.

Played on a sunny fall day

Great course. Grounds we awesome. The rough was grown out more than normal due to the Mid-Am being placed there next day. Fairways and greens were excellent. Facility and food was also excellent. Who’d would think you could get a lobster roll that was also 5 star in Central NY?
