What was once a RTJ gem has now been left with poor ownership and a beautiful golf course has seen some poor playing conditions. It still plays a challenging test to players off the tee being narrow in some areas. So much potential and overdue for restoration.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Baldwinsville, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
