Quality, challenge,
service, natural beauty, history
... golf Chautauqua!
 For
well over 100 years, golf has been a part of the Chautauqua experience.
From the first "links" course laid out in 1896 to the
first nine holes opened in 1914; and from the completion in 1924
of our original Donald Ross-designed 18-hole course to the addition
of a second 18 holes, completed in 1994, the Chautauqua Golf
Club has offered a high quality golfing experience that invites
the novice but also challenges the experienced player. Situated
on rolling terrain with frequent panoramic views of nearby Chautauqua
Lake, our courses have played host to outstanding professionals
including Ben Hogan, Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen and Cary Middlecoff
as well as famous visitors to the Chautauqua Institution including
President Bill Clinton in 1996.

'Best Little Golf
Town in America' -----
Golf Digest, 2003
"Jamestown, NY is (or should be) a
regular golfer's mecca.
 Why Jamestown? Start with Chautauqua
Golf Club, a few miles outside of town. Chautauqua's Lake Course
(four-star in Places to Play) was designed by Donald Ross
in 1913. The Hill Course doesn't have quite the provenance --
X.G. Hassenplug finished it in 1994 -- but it gets similar raves
and another four-star ranking in Places to Play."
25-acre Practice
& Teaching Facility
First phase of new facility to
open in 2008
 Construction is under way on an exciting
new addition to the Chautauqua Golf Club -- a complete and unique
public facility for teaching and practice. When finished, the
25-acre site will boast a 350-yard driving range with four target
greens and separate tees for instruction and daily practice use.
Both of the tees will feature both grass and artificial turf
surfaces. The facility will also include two 6,000 square foot
putting greens; a chipping green complete with fairway, rough
and practice bunkers; three practice holes, ranging in length
from 100 to 250 yards; a support building with bathrooms; and
parking. Designed by golf architect Ed Beidel of Washington,
DC, the facility is intended to serve young and old, beginning
golfers learning the game and experienced golfers looking to
hone their skills. Ideal for families, school golf teams and
community agencies as well as individuals, the facility will
offer group clinics, weeklong classes and outstanding private
instruction.
