Cortland Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Cortland Country Club?

You'll quickly discover that Cortland's greens are its true defense - they're subtly sloped and faster than they look, especially on the back nine. We always recommend spending extra time on the practice green to get a feel for their speed before your round. Don't be surprised if you leave a few putts short.

When is the ideal time of year to play Cortland Country Club for the best experience?

We find late spring, specifically May and early June, offers the perfect blend of lush course conditions and comfortable temperatures before the peak summer heat. You'll avoid the larger crowds that descend in July and August, making for a more relaxed round. The course truly shines when it's green and vibrant.

Is Cortland Country Club open to the public, and what should I expect for green fees?

Cortland Country Club is semi-private, meaning non-members can book tee times, usually a few days in advance. Expect green fees to be in the $75-$120 range, which we consider excellent value for a course of this caliber and its consistently well-maintained fairways. It's a quality experience without breaking the bank.

What's the one hole at Cortland Country Club that every golfer talks about?

Without a doubt, it's the par-3 14th. This downhill stunner plays over a natural ravine to a two-tiered green, demanding a precise iron shot to avoid a tricky up-and-down. It's a beautiful, nerve-wracking hole that truly tests your nerve and often decides the outcome of your match.

Beyond the golf, what's the vibe like at Cortland Country Club's clubhouse?

The clubhouse at Cortland has a classic, welcoming feel - it's not overly stuffy, which we appreciate. We always grab a drink and a bite at 'The 19th Hole' grill; their local craft beer selection and the views from the patio are a perfect way to recap your round. It's a comfortable spot to unwind after your game.
