En-Joie Golf Club first opened in 1927 under the original design of Ernie Smith at the request of George F. Johnson. George F. was the benevolent owner of the Endicott-Johnson Shoe Company based in Endicott, NY. Mr. Johnson loved the game of golf and couldn't see any reason why his employees shouldn't love it as well, except for the fact that they didn't have any time or a place to play. A problem that he resolved by building a golf course for them to enjoy.
From 1971 to 2005 En-Joie GC hosted an annual PGA Tour stop that was loved and greatly supported by the Tour players. Originally in 1971 the event was called the Broome County Open, and the following year it switched to the B.C. Open; the name it is still referred to by most. The new name referred to the B.C. comic strip, created by Johnny Hart, who was born and raised in Endicott. Johnny Hart's B.C. characters were used by the tournament in advertising, for merchandise logos, and as well as the champions trophy for the tournament winner. The logo and trophy was easily recognizable and adored by all.
Roughly 70 years after the original construction, in 1998 and 1999 the golf course layout was renovated by renowned golf course architect Michael Hurdzan. The originally flat and round greens were changed into very large and non-circular undulating greens that now challenge all levels of players. With narrow, and now tree-lined fairways, coupled with large and elevated greens the golf course is a true test for golfers of all skill levels. Professionals and amateur alike will find a challenging, yet fair round of golf each time they tee it up at En-Joie.
In 2006, the last year the B.C. Open was to be played at En-Joie, the Greater Binghamton area suffered the worst flooding from the Susquehanna River in the regions history. The damage throughout the area was monumental and the golf course became inundated with water, mud, and debris. Unfortunately the tournament was forced to be moved in its final year elsewhere. However, the recovery continued and shortly thereafter in 2007 En-Joie became the proud host of a new Champions Tour event. The Dick's Sporting Goods Open was born, and En-Joie once again continues to test the skills of professional golfers, now it tests the games of those players age 50 and over.
A special thanks to Bobby Bolin for all his help on this project and the encouragement of others to make a real course rendition. This course was tested on all green conditions except for Wet and Very Wet and on all wind conditions except for Strong and Gusty.
