The Links at Erie Village

Overview: The Links at Erie Village is a public 18-hole course in East Syracuse, listed by Golf Digest at par 71 and 6,704 yards from the longest tees. Ferdinand Garbin is credited as the designer. Despite the name, this is not an exposed seaside links: the layout is a modern inland course with open corridors, water and shaped hazards set among the Erie Village development. Its proximity to Syracuse and its multiple tee options make it a natural stop for golfers exploring central New York.

History: GolfNow dates the course to 1996, placing Erie Village in the modern wave of Syracuse-area golf development. The course was created as part of the Erie Village setting and has continued as a public daily-play facility. New York State Golf Association lists it among the public courses in central New York, while the course data reviewed from Golf Digest and GolfNow confirms the designer and 18-hole identity. The current sources differ modestly on the longest tee measurement, so the profile records the highest published figure with that caveat.
