until further notice.
Burnet Park Golf Course is located in the
Tipperary Hill section of the city, at Avery and Coleridge Avenues. Built in
1901, it was one of the oldest courses in New York State and has the
distinction of being the only course with a "shamrock" bunker, reflective
of the neighborhood's Irish roots. The course's second hole is the second
oldest golf hole of any course in Onondaga County. Sunnycrest Golf
Course is located on Caleb Avenue, off Hickok Avenue in the city's Eastwood
neighborhood. Built in 1928, it provides a challenging Par-3, while offering
spectacular views of the city's skyline.
