The Links at Hiawatha Landing sits along the banks of the Susquehanna River, nestled between the Finger Lakes and the Catskill Mountains. It's one of New York's premier upscale public golf courses. Despite the name, the course has more of a heathland layout than a true links course since it lacks the seaside location that is the cornerstone of traditional Scottish links golf courses. The design still has many links features though including windswept sand bunkers. The rolling terrain provides a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic and the tall grasses make accuracy a necessity. Water comes into play on seven holes but there aren't any forced carries or blind shots, making the golf course approachable for even high handicappers. The Links at Hiawatha Landing finishes with a challenging par 5 that doglegs left around a large pond.

Greens

The round started off with a frost delay.The course conditions were good with the exception of the greens being aerriated without being filled. Otherwise it was a good round with the weather getting much better.

A great place to play!

The Links at Hiawatha Landing wasn't a golfing destination that we had planned to visit. After this first visit, if we are in the Binghampton area again, we will be sure to add it to our itinerary! Great course for golfers of all skills!

Links layout, tough pin placement & great greens.....

Use every club in your bag and a very nice layout. Best practice range in our area and very large putting practice green. Most challenging finishing hole with risk and reward.

Fair Course

Nice layout. I got to play single which worked out well. Was done with the round in 2 1/2 hours. They started us out on the back 9 and then the front on the turn - which I did not mind.
Started out pretty foggy (7am) but it may be expected at times but cleared up and the sun was out by the time I was done. I grew up in this area but moved away and now that I play golf I wanted to try out the course. The course plays long but it's a fair setup. You want to keep your ball as straight as possible or else you can be looking for them for quiet possibly not find them. The pro-shop is small but has variety.
I will definitely come back to play again.

This Course is Special

Everything about the course was great. The fairways, tees, and greens were in great shape. I especially liked the greens. My only complaint is that the course could be marked better for yardage. It was a foggy morning and my rangefinder didn't work in the fog. I'll play again when I am back in the area.

Still one of the best in the area

Hiawatha is really the only "links" style course in the area. It's always well maintained and offers unique challenges that give you an opportunity to use a lot of club's in your bag; particularly if you aren't hitting it straight. There's a lot of trouble to navigate here. Water, traps, ball swallowing fescue and uneven lies can wear you down. That all said, it's very playable if you hit it reasonably straight and don't try to overpower it.

lovely course

Fairly easy playing from forward tees (which are not fully accurate as indicated on card). Fairways were in great shape and greens not too tough. Not good sand so avoid whenever possible. Stay right on 18 off tee - most difficult hole.

TheLinks at Hiawatha

From the moment I arrived until I finished my departing beverage, The Links at Hiawatha, the staff and management and their local players were amazing. When you couple stunning greens with rolling fairways, you have a great golf course! Add into the mix fine wine and dining with friendly local golfers and you have a new favorite destination.

Always a tough day

Plays tough due to fescue and tall grass...doesn't matter if you're long, but ya gotta be straight. More players need to fix their pitch marks on the green.

Nice Links Course.....

Very nice Links course.... A little less challenging than the last time I played it 10 or so years ago as the Festuca and other grasses around the Fairways, Rolling hills and greens have been cut back quite a bit but still a good challenge overall. Greens were in good shape and at a good speed and rolled very well. The course has a very nice layout and does not get boring what so ever. The few issues I had with my experience were not related to the course itself. The Paths had a few holes in them and were pretty bumpy and made for a bumpy ride and also I don't know if it was just the day we were there but The Bugs around the course were bad and sometimes affected our shots. Hopefully it was just the day we were there. This might be a normal issue though as there were signs near #1 and #10 asking not to spray bug Repellent around the greens and tee boxes. But other than that It is a Very Nice and True Links Course and would recommend it to anyone of any skill level to play as I will play there again.

The Links is in great shape and I loved it there. The only issue I had is there are a lot of sand traps. I will definitely be going there again.
