That was the day a group of investors from Seneca Falls, NY and Waterloo, NY paid $5,000 to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Denny of Riverside, California for 115 acres of land that is now country club property. The land included the farmland and a 2-story barn on the shores of Cayuga Lake. The investors hired Mr. Noble from Newark, NY. He built what is now known as the “Old Nine”. This “Old Nine” includes the currently holes one through Course Facts four, 10 through 12 and 18. These same greens remain intact today with the exception of greens #10 and #11. In 1941, Mr. Yardage: 5,978 yards Jerry Stack, the club pro at the time, relocated these greens by Slope: 119 moving them back about 100 feet. Both greens were situated Course Rating: 73.2 on top of a knoll and were considered unplayable. The original practice green was located just behind the old clubhouse, where the banquet hall is currently located.

Mr. Souhan donated his time in addition to labor and materials from his Seneca Knitting Mill to clear the land and get the project started. The actual construction began in 1965 and the nine was opened in June of 1966. In October 1999, the long-standing clubhouse was destroyed by a fire. The clubhouse was rebuilt in 2000 and the 2001 season is hallmarked by the Grand Opening of the new facility. Because of the construction, hole #10 was rerouted to play as a dog-leg right and the tee was moved about 100 yards directly north. Course Condition Central New York has experienced a relatively dry and hot summer thus far and there seems to be little relief in sight. These conditions can sometimes prove disastrous for a golf course, especially during the peak of the season. To combat these conditions, the staff at Seneca Falls has been working diligently for the past two months to get the course in tournament-ready condition. Different fertilizing techniques have been used and greens have been cut down to increase their speeds. Specifically, Bob Fuller, Seneca Falls Head Golf Pro, says “They’ve been using more fertilizer to get it back to being green and trying not to put as much water down. The course is in excellent shape, the staff has done a good job and the rest is up to mother nature.” Hole 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Out 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 In Total Yards 274 341 155 368 352 479 163 359 505 2996 334 287 115 390 493 305 395 185 478 2982 5978 Par 4 4 3 4 4 5 3 4 5 36 4 4 3 4 5 4 4 3 5 36 72 Seneca Falls CC Scorecard
