Robert Trent Jones Golf Course

Robert Trent Jones Golf Course is an 18-hole university course in Ithaca built on rolling terrain with natural elevation changes. The layout incorporates water features and strategically positioned sand bunkers throughout the design.

The course was designed in the 1930s by Robert Trent Jones while he was studying at Cornell University. This project marked the beginning of his prolific career in golf architecture.

The course serves as a training ground for Cornell University golf teams and hosts collegiate tournaments throughout the year. This role shapes daily activity on the grounds and regularly draws players from the surrounding region.

The pro shop offers equipment rentals and certified instructors provide individual or group lessons during the playing season. A dedicated professional staff is on site to assist players with their visit.

Cornell University students receive significant discounts on green fees and can join specialized golf programs integrated into their academic schedule. This connection between student life and the course is unusual for university facilities.
