Conewango Valley Country Club

Set above Conewango Creek in Warren, Conewango Valley Country Club blends a documented Donald Ross nine (opened 1916) with an early-1970s expansion to today’s 18 holes. From the back tees it plays about 6,590 yards, par 71 (multiple sets scale it down for everyday play). The club’s Ross corridors—present-day 1, 9–13, and 16–18—still hinge on compact, subtly elevated greens and natural elevation change: a downhill par-5 9th to a testing target, a long downhill 13th, the par-3 16th pinched by Valentine Run, and a short, uphill 18th that rewards precise distance control. Later holes from the 1970s addition (credited to C.E. “Robbie” Robinson) broadened corridors and introduced more water, while one Ross hole (#12) now plays to two putting surfaces following practice-area changes—an honest tell of the course’s layered history. Players warm up on a full driving range, short-game complex, and large practice green before heading to a hilltop clubhouse with locker rooms, a grille, covered patio, and event spaces for outings and celebrations. The club operates primarily as private (guest play via members; limited outside outings), offering a low-key setting from spring through fall where Ross’s original greens still shape the round more than sheer length.
