Our Clubs History

Situated amongst the picturesque hills of Central New York, the Cortland Country Club is the area’s premier private social and golf destination. We have been celebrating Friendship, Fairways and Festivities for over 100 years!

Founded in 1913

The Club’s first Board of Governors included key contributors to the Cortland and Homer communities: Wickwire, Keator, Garrison, Brewer, Davis, Kellogg, Brockway, Higgins, Brown, Dowd, Case, Winchell, Peck and Miller. Over one hundred years later, the Cortland Country Club remains true to its original missions, with members involved in engaging social lives, sporting activities, and community leadership.

Explore our history

Just thirteen years after the City of Cortland was incorporated, Cortland Country Club was founded on September 1, 1913. Judge Nathan L. Miller (former governor of New York State) and Theodore H. Wickwire, inspired by their experiences playing golf in the South, called a group of men together to organize a club for Cortland and the vicinity. The Club’s purpose was “to be a means of building the physical body and to promote the social life and activities of Cortland County”.
