Hotel is located in quaint Cooperstown, NY. Built in 1

The resort was a vision of Edward Severin Clark and Stephen Carlton Clark, the grandsons of Cooperstown’s benefactor, Edward Clark. They imagined a resort where guests could enjoy a day on the golf course and commissioned Devereux Emmet, the renowned course designer, to create the Leatherstocking Golf Course adjacent to the property.
Leatherstocking was named one of Golfweek’s “Best Courses You Can Play,” and Conde Nast Traveler’s readers voted The Otesaga one of the “Top 50 U.S. Golf Resorts” for its combination of gra- cious hospitality, first-rate accommodations and fine dining.
Leatherstocking hosts 10 large golf outings annually, each com- prised of 125 players. A choice of beverage stations and carts is available to complement each outing.
“Some groups have Margarita stations on the course, and we also offer wine and special beer selection stations,” said Robert Faller, director of sales for The Otesaga Resort Hotel, which owns Leatherstocking Golf Course. “These stations can be customized.”
Attendees have the benefit of instruction by the course’s certified Professional Golf Association pros. A golf professional, as well as sales and catering managers, are on hand to work with planners to ensure a great experience.

Because of its local partnerships, the property’s profes- sional team will help groups with programs. This may include hir-
