Seven Oaks Golf Club

Seven Oaks at Seven Oaks Golf Club, nestled in the rolling hills of Hamilton, New York, is a testament to classic collegiate golf, a course where legends are whispered more often than scores are shouted. Carved into the Central New York landscape in the early 2000s, the course reflects a modern interpretation of parkland design, demanding strategic play rather than brute force. Its sprawling fairways, however, often lull players into a false sense of security, as subtly contoured greens and strategically placed bunkers quickly punish the errant approach. While not long by modern standards, Seven Oaks favors a thoughtful approach, rewarding those who can navigate its subtle doglegs and trust their yardage books. Designed by renowned architect Robert Trent Jones, Seven Oaks has become known as a very challenging course with water hazards, bunkers and a challenging layout. While it might not command the international spotlight, Seven Oaks holds a special place in the hearts of Colgate University alumni and local golf enthusiasts. The course has hosted numerous collegiate events, solidifying its reputation as a proving ground for up-and-coming talent. Beyond the course, Seven Oaks cultivates a sense of community, where generations of Raiders have gathered to celebrate victories both on and off the links.
