I would recommend Liverpool Golf & Country Club. They have an excellent dining option and beautiful views.

Is it just me, or does the pro shop make a big difference? I always appreciate a well-stocked shop with great gear!

Absolutely! A good pro shop can elevate the whole experience. After all, who doesn’t love some new golf gear to show off?
Just don’t forget to check the course maintenance. Sometimes the best amenities can’t save a shaggy course!
True! That can be frustrating. A great clubhouse isn’t worth it if the fairways are in bad shape.
I wonder if any courses have special family days or events? That would be fun to explore the amenities together.

Onondaga has some family-friendly events! It’s a fun way to enjoy the amenities and get kids introduced to golf.
I’m glad someone started this thread! I’ve been searching for the best golf courses here too. I heard that Willowbanks is great for its events and member benefits. Anyone know if they run any specific tournaments?

I’ve played at Willowbanks and they do have seasonal tournaments! Their membership deals also provide access to exclusive events. Definitely worth checking out.
Have you looked into the Onondaga Golf Club? It’s a private course but they really cater to members with fantastic facilities. Plus they host friendly competitions that might be fun!
Sounds great! I’m curious, though, how do the membership fees compare to public courses like Barneveld? Anyone have insights?

It’s worth becoming a member if you play often! Costs at places like Barneveld are lower day-to-day, but members at clubs get special rates for tournaments, and they can quickly make up the difference.
That makes sense, robin76! I’m also intrigued by local tournaments. Are there any that allow non-members to join? I’m looking to meet some fellow golfers.
Syracuse has several open tournaments! Just check the event calendar for clubs like The Links at Erie Village. They often welcome non-members, and it’s a great way to play competitively.
Fantastic! I didn’t realize there were so many options. Does anyone have a favorite course or one they dislike?
I find the public courses tend to be hit or miss. Some can be rough around the edges. The Links is usually well-kept, but I’ve heard mixed reviews about the greens at Great Northern. Proceed with caution!
A little humor never hurts! I’d say Great Northern is a bit of a mystery—like gambling on whether the greens are friendly or merely ‘great’ in name! 
Just visit once and see for yourself.
Haha! Definitely makes golf a little more exciting. But on a serious note, have we covered if there’s a course with year-round events? My calendar is packed during peak season!
For year-round events, check out the indoor simulators available at some clubs. They might offer winter leagues, which can keep you engaged even when the snow falls. Some members love it!
