Overview
Seven Oaks Golf Club, located in Hamilton, N.Y., is home to the Colgate men’s golf team and is situated on the northern end of campus. In the early 1930s, Robert Trent Jones Sr. visited campus to begin designing one of his first courses. However, the Great Depression and World War II put the project on hold for over 20 years. It was not until 1956 when work began on the first nine holes, which opened in 1958. Today, the course is a parkland design with several water hazards and large, gently undulating greens.

Review
“Seven Oaks is a classic Robert Trent Jones parkland design. A number of strong par 4s and par 3s typical of an RTJ senior course, with water coming into play on several holes. The course has benefited from significant tree removal. Very walkable and playable with only a few forced carries. Very solid public course and a good value."
