TECUMSEH GOLF CLUB

The rolling drumlin topography of Central New York creates natural amphitheaters for golf, and this municipal layout maximizes every undulation with strategic bunkering that punishes wayward shots while rewarding bold lines. The par-4 12th epitomizes the design philosophy—a downhill drive to a valley fairway followed by an uphill approach to a green perched against the sky. At $35 for 18 holes, it delivers country club conditioning and thoughtful architecture that most privates would envy.
