After not playing it for many years I was eager to go back. Unfortunately the course wasn't what it was. The bunkers appear to have been left to go back to nature. They were full of weeds and pretty much unplayable.

Disgraceful! This course has no business using the Robert Trent Jones name. Fairways are below municipal golf quality. Sand traps are unplayable and there is no warning on the web site. Cornell did not maintain course for over a year during covid and it shows. I was embarrassed to host a group of friends from out of state here. We won't be back.

Only used the driving range as we were actually playing in a tournament at an adjoining course. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Apparently, they are in the process of returning the course to it's original design. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

As a great man once said "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times"! Let's begin with the best, the course is a truly classic design. The layout is beautiful, the greens are among the largest I have ever played in my 50 plus years of play. For the majority of greens they are in excellent condition. Now the not so nice, the bunkers, which are well located each and every one fairway and greeside are in horrible overgrown condition, no sand. They are totally unplayable. Either Cornell is ready to embark on a total reconstruction or they have abandoned them!
The Fairways are ok but many areas of burnout. The cost at $ 68 is way out of line with conditions. Our Foursome felt very sad that this course is not cherished by the university, especially in light that Mr. Jones was a graduate AND that Cornell has a world famous turf program. If this course was given the attention and respect it deserves it would truly be a spectacular venue! Please Cornell restore this course to glory!

Great course, challenging especially from the red tees. They are doing several course upgrades in 2022. Taking out many trees and redoing the sand traps.

Two stars was being nice. Such a disgrace that Robert Trent Jones legacy is being crapped on by whoever is groundskeeper now. Absolutely not maintained, disgracefully so. I wouldn't pay 10$ to play it again. The sad part; the greens and design could be great. Just because it is Ivy in name doesn't mean it is at the level. Really sad and shameful.

It’s a shame this course has not been maintained. We were excited to play a Robert Trent Jones course but were shocked at the conditions of the fairways and rough. Sand traps were overgrown with weeds and had no sand. Thought an Ivy League school would have taken better care of this course.

With all the money in the world wy Cornell University would not take better care of a Robert Trent Jones golf course! They ought to be ashamed!
