History

Established in 1926.

Drumlins Country Club was established in 1926 after Roderick S. Burlingame Sr. purchased the 260-​acre Nottingham Farm. In the spring of 1928 Drumlins opened its clubhouse and grand ballroom. The clubhouse was originally a barn from the farm while the ballroom was merely the hayloft. Over the years, Drumlins built banquet and dining facilities, two ski hills with towropes, multiple tennis courts, and two outdoor skating rinks. One rink was used for hockey while the other was a public skating rink with a 1500 person capacity. In the 1960s Burlingame added a 12-​lane bowling center and a pool for a swim club. Over time, however, the ice rinks, ski hills and bowling center were all torn down for economic reasons. Under Syracuse University’s ownership Drumlins grew to include two 18-​hole golf courses, a swimming pool, driving range, tennis center featuring multiple indoor tennis courts, a restaurant, and a banquet center. The original barn converted in 1928 by Burlingame is still in use.

Thank you!

Skip the Easter brunch!
One of the most unsanitary places I’ve ever been to. We had a party of 11. Three of us had stray hairs on our plates and two of the supposedly clean glasses had lipstick on them.
The food was flavorless and almost everything was ice cold. Including the carving station.
There was a half way decent selection of food but the quality was disappointing.
I’ll definitely look elsewhere for next year.

I come here consistently for tennis only, but have been here for catering events.
Catering wise, they have some really delicious foods and have been one of the best catered foods I have tasted in a long while.
Tennis wise — they have 7 indoor hardcourt surfaces and 2 outdoor clay surfaces. I have the student membership and compared to home (Long Island) prices, this is probably one of better deals I have encountered. Membership comes with access to ball machines ($ 10/​hour or free with unlimited play time). Courts are kept in pristine condition and there are baskets of balls available for use should you need them. The balls are good for practicing by yourself, but are not good for tournament/​serious play.
Timewise, this place is a little funky. Once you get used to it though, it becomes more like clockwork. The scheduled opening time is ~8am but they do open earlier for those early risers who can only play in the morning. In the afternoons is when it get’s busy. This is also the home practice courts of the Syracuse Women’s tennis team so they do take up a chunk of the time booked. Additionally, they close early in the afternoon for the Syracuse students. They do not actually close, but this time is booked for SU students and anyone on the graduate student passes. I believe the time range is between 8−11pm.
The best part about this place is the tight knit community of Drumlins. The staff and all the members are very friendly and all seem to know each other. There are a lot of levels of play here for the tennis from what I hear so I would come and try it out. Marion, the manager, does a very good job at keeping the place running. She knows everyone and their skill level and if you have any questions, I would not hesitate to contact her about it.

My sister had her bridal shower here with Pascale Catering. The room that she had her shower was recently remodeled but I still felt it was aged. The lobby for the building was very nice and had a great seating area with a fire place. There was a chalk board showing where we should go and stating what room my sisters shower was going to be. The shower took over three of the rooms there and the space was a perfect amount. Like is said, my family was told it was recently remodeled but it didn’t feel that way and the carpet had some stains on it. The bathroom was nice and big though however, there were no signs pointing towards the bathroom so no one knew where to go.
We did a brunch and the food was fantastic. There was an omelets station, pancakes, French toast, potatoes, bacon, sausage, roast beef, salads, rolls, bagels. I ate just about a little bit of everything and it was all fantastic. They also did my sister’s cupcakes for the day and they were very delicious, moist, light and fluffy.
Overall, this was a nice place for her shower. I don’t think I would want to have my reception here but for a shower, it was a good option.

The indoor tennis courts are in pristine condition and are well lit. It can get a little cold in there in the winter though, but there’s a fireplace in the clubhouse for your pre-​game warm up with a viewing area of all of the courts.
