The Leatherstocking Golf Course

Overview: Designed by Devereux Emmet, Leatherstocking is a historic parkland course in Cooperstown. The layout runs along the shores of Lake Otsego, offering views of the water and the historic Otesaga Resort Hotel, with fairways lined by mature hardwoods.

History: Opened in 1909, the course is one of the oldest resort courses in New York. It has undergone multiple updates over the decades to maintain its classic strategic challenge.

Did You Know? The finishing 18th hole is a par-five that requires golfers to drive from an island tee box over Lake Otsego to a fairway that wraps around the shoreline.
