Drumlins Golf Club (East Course)

Overview: On Syracuse’s university-side golf ground, Drumlins’ East Course provides a private parkland layout with 18 holes. Leonard Macomber designed the course, which measures 6,213 yards at par 71 from the championship tees. The routing combines mature trees, changing ground and elevated views with the scale of a traditional university-area country club. It is the more private and championship-oriented half of a 36-hole property, with the separate West Course providing a different public-golf experience nearby.

History: Drumlins traces its golf identity to the 1920s and has long been associated with Syracuse University. The East Course membership material describes an 18-hole Leonard Macomber design, while the club today maintains the East and West layouts as distinct courses. That separation matters because the courses share a facility but not the same access model or playing character. The East remains the more exclusive course, with its original championship positioning preserved through multiple tee sets.

Did You Know? Drumlins has two separate 18-hole courses on one Syracuse property. The East Course is par 71 from its championship tees, while the West Course is a shorter public layout with its own scorecard and identity.
