Drumlins has a long history of serving Central New York residents as the premier venue for sports & recreation , entertainment , events large and small , and fine food . Offering private member benefits as well as public access places , Drumlins is in a realm of its own among area attractions .
Drumlins Country Club was established when 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 1960 ' s , 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 and outdoor tennis courts , a restaurant , and a banquet center .
The original barn converted in 1928 by the Burlingame ’ s is still in use today !
