Drumlins Golf Club (West Course)

Overview: Syracuse’s Drumlins Golf Club offers a public parkland routing of 18 holes on its West Course. Leonard Macomber is associated with the Drumlins golf designs, and the West Course measures about 6,030 yards at par 70 from the back tees. It is the more accessible course on a 36-hole property, with a shorter, approachable routing that still uses mature trees, changing lies and well-placed hazards to make the round engaging. The course is especially relevant to golfers looking for a practical public option close to central Syracuse.

History: Drumlins was established in the 1920s and developed into a two-course golf property associated with Syracuse University. The East Course became the private championship layout, while the West Course developed as the public course for everyday play and learning. Current club material keeps those roles distinct, which helps explain why the same address contains two separate course identities rather than one 36-hole routing.

Did You Know? Drumlins West is the shorter of the two courses at the facility, but it still offers a full par-70 round. The club also describes its front nine as especially scenic, a useful clue to the course’s more relaxed public-golf character.
