History

The Pompey Club is a championship 18 hole golf course overlooking magnificent Butternut Creek Valley, just 10 miles south of Syracuse, NY. The gently rolling hills of Pompey are 1700' above sea level, 30 feet higher than Lake Placid. Our sunsets are second to none and on a clear day you can see Lake Ontario, sixty miles away. The golf course is maintained at a very high standard of quality and features four starting tees

The Pompey Club was established in 1962 and was designed by Hal Purdy of Kingston, New York. Some of his accomplishments include the I.B.M. Corporation Inwood Country Club, G.E. Company Employee's Club, Fairmount Country Club, Bamm Hollow Country Club, Knoll Country Club, Forsgate Country Club, Rutgers University course, and the University of Buffalo course. Mr. Purdy had a resume of sixteen other courses when he designed and built the Pompey Club.


The golf course measures 6600+ yards with a course rating of 71.8, a slope rating of 127, and plays to a par of 72. The gently rolling contours were designed to challenge the skill of the expert without discouraging the new and higher handicap player. In 1996, a tee to green irrigation system was installed.
