About the Course
In the early 1960’s, the original concept for what became Beaver Meadows Golf and Recreation Association began with Ted Lebro of Phoenix, NY. Ted was a real estate broker with his office at Fulton, NY, and was interested in developing about 50 acres of land he owned on the west side of the Oswego River at the intersection of County Route 46, State Route 48 and the Pinnacle Hill Road.
Soon, the idea of a golf course in the Oswego County area of Phoenix became firmly planted in the minds of a small group of people headed by John Harder. This was during the time that the United States Government was subsidizing farmland which was taken out of production.
Course Facts
With 5 sets of tee boxes and a Par 72 layout, Beaver Meadows can play anywhere from 5,000 yards to over 6,800 yards. Whatever skill level you are we have a tee box for you to have fun and be challenged. Since opening in 1965 the course has seen numerous changes and renovations, most recently a tree management program to remove unhealthy trees and provide more airflow to the course as well as a complete bunker renovation project. Beaver Meadows is best known for its plush fairways (bent grass) and fast and well maintained greens (poa annua).
