Leatherstocking was in its full Fall grandeur with brilliant fall foliage, picturesque views of Otsego Lake, excellent leaf removal on the course, and greens that were slicker than ice. Good news is that the greens won't be aerated until mid November so come enjoy challenging pin placements on real greens (most of the other local courses were aerated and are still bumpy). The Otesga Hotel next door has a marvelous veranda to sit on and enjoy the view and a cocktail. Our "diva outing" with 28 women dined off the regular menu in the Grill Room and the food was excellent. Cost for 18 holes with a cart was $95 on a Saturday.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again
