America’s collegiate institutions are home to some of the country’s best golf courses, and today’s feature course, The Robert Trent Jones Golf Course at Cornell University, is absolutely one of them. Designed by the incomparable Robert Trent Jones, whose genius is responsible for such courses as Firestone, Spyglass Hill, and Hazeltine, the Robert Trent Jones Course’s exquisite 18 holes offer a championship-style challenge the likes of which you won’t find anywhere else.

Conveniently located at the edge of the Cornell University campus, the Robert Trent Jones Course offers a straight-up New York challenge with little forgiveness along the way. Fairways are long and fairly narrow, requiring expert tee-shot placement to put you in a good position for a quality approach. The greens here are small, and, especially at peak season, surprisingly fast, meaning your putter’s “A” game will be needed to secure even the most routine of up-and-downs. Heavily wooded areas pop up throughout the course, as do large and purposely placed sand bunkers that can spoil even great shots that drift even for a brief moment. You’ll need to be long, straight, accurate, and occasionally lucky if you want to shoot a low score during your round at the Robert Trent Jones Course, but even if you don’t, you’re all but guaranteed to still have a great time.

On par (get it?) with the fantastic golf course is the facility’s wonderful practice area. Here, you’ll find everything you need to whip your game into shape including a 300-yard driving range, practice putting green, chipping area, and practice sand trap. Be sure to arrive to your tee time a little early so you can take full advantage of the practice area and get yourself ready to play.
