Delhi College Golf Course

Detailed description of Delhi College Golf Course

SUNY Delhi College Golf Course (SUNY = State University New York) first opened for play in 1963. The course's front nine is a classic 1960's design renowned for its natural beauty and challenging, undulating greens. The back nine, opened in June 1996, is routed through the rolling terrain of the surrounding mountains.

Course conditions are outstanding and that's no surprise. The College Golf Course at Delhi is a training ground for students enrolled in SUNY Delhi's nationally recognized Golf Course Operations, Turf Management, and Professional Golf Management programs. Students learn all facets of the golf industry and put those skills to work at the course as part of their academic training.
