The tradition of golf began in Chautauqua County a century ago with the development of the Chautauqua Golf Club at Chautauqua Institution, whose Lake Course was named one of Golf Advisor’s Best of 2018, ranking No. 5 in the listing of publicly accessible courses that delivered the best playing conditions.
Today, more than a dozen courses, some of which are four-star rated, and a Learning Center offer numerous choices for hitting the links during spring, summer, and fall. Tee off with a spectacular view overlooking Chautauqua Lake, near the majestic cliff-lined shores of Lake Erie, or at Peek'n Peak's challenging Upper Course, which has hosted several PGA Tour events, most recently the Web.com Tour's LECOM Health Challenge from 2016-2019.
