We played 2 days@ Conklin and 1 day @ En-Joie. Theresa @ Conklin's Players Club (607.775.3563) arranged the 3 day , 2 night stay at Double Tree in Binghamton. I "En-Joied" it so, that I booked again with Theresa 2 weeks later for me and my 20 yr old for 3 days and 2 nights. Thank you Theresa. A++++

Tough but challenging course, easier to play with more experience. The course is not very long but…read morethere are so many blind tee shots and elevated greens that are tough to read, since obviously they can't be seen from 100 feet below the pin, 50 yards away. The course is always in beautiful shape, and the greens are always well maintained. I was also able to get a huge bloody mary in a to go cup at 10am from the bar upstairs. My parents live about 45 minutes south of the course and whenever thereis an event at their club we come down here to play. GPS carts are also very helpful and I think are needed simply for the safety factor of seeing how far away the carts ahead of you are on blind drives. It's always a pleasure to get back here to play. The staff is also top notch across the board, from the starter to the pro shop to the bar to the snack booth.

Played here today - walked on and got a cart plus green fees for only $20. A very good deal from a…read moredecent course with some challenging and some fun holes.

No. But you get cheap golf, 5 star service from a great family, great beer and food. They put a ton of time into the course and let's just face facts. In a world where people treat each other like crap and customer service has gone out the window, this family is a throw back. They treat you like family and you can't wait to go back. I am a low handicapper that has played a lot of great courses but I am a member here for a reason! Keep up the great work guys!

I have played at all of the courses in our area and beyond. I've never been turned away because of cargo shorts. And they also told my friend that he has to tuck in his shirt. I always practice good golf etiquette. This was disappointing. I personally willing to pay $100 for a round of golf should not be turned away because of having pockets on the side of their shorts.

I'm hesitant to leave a review here because this place has long been viewed by our group of friends…read moreas a hidden gem, and we'd like to keep it hidden. But if any place deserves recognition for doing everything right, it's the incredible people who make French Woods a home away from home. It started as a place where a dozen friends, living around the metropolitan area, could spend a weekend golfing, drinking, and telling stories around a campfire. It quickly morphed into something much more. To start, the golf course offers what city courses never could; a round in under 5 hours, wide open fairways, and no sounds other than the sounds of nature and the occasional expletive from an errant shot. The fact that cabins, which are more like 2 story homes, are located right on the course, provides an unparalleled convenience and comfort. All of this can be found through a simple google search. What google couldn't tell you, is the unmatched hospitality by the owner, Russell, and everyone who makes the clubhouse feel like a family waiting to greet you at the turn. Linda and Angie are always there to give you a good ribbing based on how terrible you looked off the first tee. But they're also there to walk you through the days specials, which never cease to feel like the best home cooked meal you've had in ages. Google also couldn't tell you quite how it feels to tee the ball up on the elevated 16th hole. To look around at the beautiful landscape and think "you know, it just doesn't get any better than this." Nor what it feels like to tee a second one up when you inevitably slice that first one into the woods trying to drive the green. It couldn't tell you that feeling you get taking a hot shower after playing 36 holes, cracking a cold beer and stepping outside to the campfire being assembled with the delivered quarts of wood courtesy of the O'Malley boys. It couldn't tell you that after sharing stories around the fire and passing around a bottle of whiskey, that if you laid down in the cool grass, you could see the clearest sky filled with stars. It couldn't tell you that drinking beer all day and killing a bottle of Jameson at the campfire would make it difficult to make your 8:30 tee time you promised Linda you'd make. Nor could it tell you that luckily the screwdrivers and bloody Marys in the clubhouse are made with magical elixirs that help pull a man back together just in time to slice your opening drive into the reeds on the first hole. Better make sure to grab a breakfast sandwich too, you'll need it around the third hole. It certainly could not tell you about the agony these vicious greens sometimes impart. It certainly would leave out what it's like to hit your tee shot over the water of the par 3 9th as the rest of your group watches on with cheers and jeers. It wouldn't be able to explain being up by 1 heading into the 18th hole only to see your tee shot land directly in the pond on the right side of the fairway. All of these need to be discovered for yourself. For our group, which has ballooned to upwards of 24 people at times, it's that treatment like we're family that keeps us coming back. We'll continue to try and make new memories and build upon our current traditions such as our Ryder cup and classic cup tournaments, the barefoot two club walking holes as the sun goes down, the tradition unlike any other of shotgunning a beer on the 7th (and 16th hole), the s'mores mix around the fire, the big kevs bbq on Friday nights, and the runs around beautiful French woods in honor of our beloved Jeff Garroway. We've come to love this place, and everyone who makes it what it is. Forever grateful, The Bender Boys
