ABOUT THE CLUB
Syracuse, NY | Today, the historic Strathmore neighborhood on Syracuse’s west side is charmed with rows of (what are now considered) historic homes. One century ago, the mature trees and craftsman-proud houses lining each street had not been added to the blank canvas of rolling hills and farmland. Back then, it may have been easier to envision what the landscape could become. And for a small group of local golf enthusiasts, the grounds that would transform to be Bellevue Country Club were easy to see. So, in 1914, this group of golfers met at Schrafft’s Restaurant in downtown Syracuse. There, they conceived the establishment that has endured a century of growth and development and that is considered today to be a premiere golf course and country club and in 2013, granted designation as a Historic Place.
The stately manor that remains the club’s primary facility offers views of the entire course. Through the decades, modern modifications have altered some of the interior, however, the clubhouse remains steadfast as Bellevue’s staple forever watching over the land and witnessing 100 years’ worth of frustrating putts, holes-in-one and countless other moments and memories on its timeless greens.
