At Chautauqua you can expect a golf experience built on service and quality; a golf experience designed for challenge and the enjoyment of this great game; a golf experience mindful of the importance of environmental stewardship; and, with two four-star rated courses, a golf experience that offers real choice and variety.

Legendary architects Seymour Dunn and Donald Ross left their legacy here. Hall of Famers from Ben Hogan to Sam Snead have walked these fairways. Statesmen, celebrities, and performers attending the world-renowned Chautauqua Institution have eagerly challenged our courses as well.

Our History

From the first round of golf, played on July 18, 1914, the Chautauqua Golf Club has carved a rich and exciting history. Legendary Scottish architects Seymour Dunn and Donald Ross have left their legacy here. Fourteen World Golf Hall of Famers, including Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen, have walked these fairways. Statesmen, celebrities and performers attending the world-renowned Chautauqua Institution have eagerly challenged our courses as well, including President Bill Clinton.
