Cooperstown Country Club
Today, the C.C.C. looks in many ways as it did in 1911. Sailing, swimming, tennis and beach activities overlook spectacular views of Otsego Lake and the surrounding hills that remain largely undeveloped due to inspired planning by Edward Clark, who might have been motivated by the novels of James Fenimore Cooper. Members also enjoy fine dining on the porch and inside the clubhouse, with sweeping views across the golf course, stadium-like perspectives of the predictably fiery activities on the tennis courts, and vivid panoramas of sailboats gliding across the Lake, sometimes with great speed; other times not so fast.
