Chris Rein, Golf Course Superintendent
We are thrilled to announce that Chris Rein has joined our team as Golf Course Superintendent. A Syracuse native with a lifelong passion for the game, Chris brings a wealth of elite-level experience and a deep understanding of New York turf management to our course. Chris’s journey in the industry began right here in Central New York, eventually leading him to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Plant Science from SUNY Cobleskill. His resume reads like a “Who’s Who” of iconic golf destinations, highlighted by a prestigious internship at Pebble Beach Golf Links and a tenure as the West Course Assistant Superintendent at Oak Hill Country Club. With a career spanning every facet of course operations—from the pro shop and bag room to the front lines of grounds maintenance—Chris possesses a unique, 360-degree view of the player experience. When he isn’t meticulously dialing in our fairways, Chris is likely still on a golf course—he’s an avid player himself, currently playing to a 14 handicap. A true outdoorsman, he also enjoys hunting and following his favorite sports teams.
Chris resides in Brewerton with his wife, Mary Beth, and their two beloved rescue dogs, Teddy and Bear.
“I am honored to take on this role and look forward to elevating the playing conditions for our members and guests. See you on the course!”
