Est. 1927 · Ernie Smith (original); renovated by Michael Hurdzan (1998-1999)
Why we love this place
There's real soul here: a course built so working people could play, still hosting Tour pros every summer. We love the blue-collar roots, the B.C. Open nostalgia, and the way a round at En-Joie connects you to nearly a century of Endicott golf history.

About En-Joie Golf Club
En-Joie opened in 1927 as a gift from George F. Johnson, the philanthropic head of the Endicott-Johnson Shoe Company, who believed his working people deserved golf as much as any businessman. Ernie Smith laid out the original course in Endicott, New York, with flat, circular greens and open, treeless fairways. From 1971 to 2005 it hosted a beloved PGA Tour stop, first the Broome County Open and then the B.C. Open, named for the comic strip drawn by Endicott native Johnny Hart. Architect Michael Hurdzan reshaped the course in 1998-99, turning those greens into large, undulating targets and adding tree-lined, tougher fairways. Since 2007 En-Joie has been home to the PGA Tour Champions' Dick's Sporting Goods Open, keeping big-time golf alive in the Southern Tier.
