En-Joie Golf Club



About this course
En-Joie Golf Club sits in Endicott, New York, a small industrial town in the Southern Tier region near Binghamton. The course was originally designed by Ernie Smith and has undergone significant renovation work by Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Jason Straka, who updated the layout while preserving its parkland character. The property occupies relatively flat terrain along the Susquehanna River valley, with mature tree-lined fairways and water features that come into play on several holes. The course is best known as the longtime host of a professional tournament on what is now the Korn Ferry Tour, bringing competitive golf to the region each summer. This tournament history has kept the course in the public eye and ensured maintenance standards appropriate for professional play. The layout presents a straightforward test that rewards accuracy and course management rather than overwhelming length, with strategic bunkering and water hazards requiring thoughtful shot placement. En-Joie operates as a public facility, making it accessible to visiting golfers throughout the season. The club's connection to the local community runs deep, as Endicott developed largely around IBM's presence in the mid-twentieth century, and the course has served as a recreational anchor for the area. The combination of professional tournament pedigree and public access gives En-Joie a distinctive place among courses in upstate New York.

Getting there
En-Joie Golf Club lies in the heart of New York's Southern Tier, most easily accessed via Binghamton-Greater Binghamton Airport (BGM), a compact regional hub just fifteen minutes west of Endicott. The drive from larger gateways - Syracuse Hancock to the north or even Scranton to the south - threads through rolling Appalachian foothills and the post-industrial valleys of the Susquehanna, a landscape of quiet resilience and deep American golf tradition. As you cross into Endicott, the tree-lined streets of this classic company town give way to the club's welcoming entrance, where the legacy of IBM's golden age and decades of professional tournament golf await on meticulously groomed parkland.
