Does anyone on this board besides me like Conklin Players Club?

[Jay Flemma]

It's a nice, inexpensive public course near Binghamton, NY.  It doesn't have a lot of architectural features we all taut, and yes, this one is cart golf, but it's still public, inexpensive, pretty, well conditioned and interesting.

Any others list this one on their itioneraries when traveling upstate NY?  It makes a great compliment to Hiawatha Landing...

Jay,
It's right on the way to visit my dad and brothers up in Rochester, and I've often thought about playing Conklin.  I do like its location.

How's the pace of play?

[Jay Flemma]

Pace of play is OK...4 hours.  It's really pretty.  play it 36 with Hiawatha Landing and then write me a thank you email.  here's the klicker...play it full moon in October and the moon rises HUGE and red over the 15th fairway.

I liked it, basically for the reasons you mentioned.

Hey Alex!  Glad to hear you played it and liked it.  Did you play Hiawatha Landing too?  How about Greystone?

hiawatha was ok.  wasn't as crazy about it as some people seem to be.  enjoyed en-joie, although it is overtreed and no masterpiece.  Just wanted to have a frame of reference for when i watch the pros play it.  only other one up there that I played was leatherstocking, which is somewhat of a masterpiece.

Why no love for Hiawatha??

Can I get an AMEN!!

[Jay Flemma]

I love Leatherstocking too...and on that note, I confirmed today with George Bahto that Leatherstocking is indeed a Devereux Emmet deisgn and not a Raynor - either raynor for that matter.

[Chris_Blakely]

You would not have needed George to confirm that!!!  I have said it was Emmet all along even directing him to articles by Emmet on the course!!!

[Jay Flemma]

Chris, can I see some of those articles?  Thanks.  I'd love to see if I can use some quotes for a piece.
