Well the long winter is finally over and golf venues around the Southern Tier are getting their seasons under way. The only local course I have had the pleasure of playing so far this season was En-Joie. As far as conditions at the home of the Dick's Sporting Goods Open go, I have to say for early season golf the course is in excellent condition. The greens are rolling nicely and although there is still quite a bit of winter's debris still in the rough areas the playing surfaces themselves are pretty clean.
En-Joie is currently running early season rates, Click here for more details.

If you have been playing other venues in the Area, please feel free to sign up and submit a review of the playing conditions and any other news worthy information of interest to local golfers.

On Sunday June 3rd, 2007 the En-Joie Golf Club hosted the TCGA 3-Way Pro Am for the second consecutive year. Each team represented an area course and consisted of the club's professional and five members of each club, the team score consisted of the Pro's score combined with the best 4 of 5 amateur scoresClubs represented were The Binghamton Country Club, Vestal Hills Country Club, Oneonta Country Club, Endwell Greens (two teams,) Montrose, and of course the En-Joie Golf Club. The weather was a little less than perfect with some late round brief but very intense rain cells rolling through. The entire field did succeed in completing their rounds after two brief delays. The Low Team honors went to the En-Joie Team with a team score of 386, congratulations to all of the members of the team with an individual scoring average of just over 77. En-Joie’s PGA Director of Golf and head Professional Michael Deuel led the En-Joie team.
