The Course


Robert Trent Jones Sr designed the 18 hole golf course which opened for play in 1972. The front nine incorporates a parkland golf style but as you make the turn the back nine opens to a traditional links course. 

Crag Burn is consistantly ranked in the top 30 golf courses in the state of New York by Golf Digest.
Scorecard

The Architect


​​"The gently rolling lands; the soils and the drainage pattern which so readily adapted to the creation of small lakes and streams; the mature vegetation ranging from lowland maples and ash to beautiful specimens of beech, hickory, hemlock and oaks was all ideally suited for the design of an outstanding golf course.

The physical character of the course emerges in part from the diverse nature of the site. Nearly half of the holes play through dense woods. Here, wide fairways are park-like and similar in appearance to Augusta National. The remaining holes are like an open meadowland where amply wide fairways are carved out of tall meadow fescues. The vivid contrast between lush, green bentgrass fairways and the golden color of the fescue roughs impart a character to these holes strongly reminiscent of Shinnecock Hills and the famous links of Scotland.

The result we feel is a golf course which will provide an exciting but fair challenge to each of its members. To achieve thi
s flexibility, staggered trees and four sets of tee markers will allow the course length to vary from 5,600 to 7,100 yards. This will enable every caliber of player to find a comfortable challenge."  

Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
