Golf in Ithaca

Ithaca is a city at the south end of Cayuga Lake in Tompkins County, home to Cornell University and Ithaca College in one of the most topographically dramatic settings of any city in New York State. The city sits at the bottom of a deep gorge system where multiple creeks plunge from the surrounding plateau down to the lake, with waterfalls throughout the urban landscape. Newman Municipal Golf Course serves the Ithaca community as a public course in this distinctive lake-and-gorge terrain. Ithaca's Tompkins County location contributes to the regional golf landscape in this part of New York, with the area's course or courses providing options for the community.
