Friends of Cornell Football Golf Outing

July 24-25, 2026 | Ithaca, NY

Registration is now open for one of Cornell Football’s premier summer traditions—the Friends of Cornell Football (FCF) Golf Outing! Join alumni, families, and friends of the Big Red for a dynamic gathering that brings our football community together.

The weekend will hold a welcome social, exclusive facility tours, and a day on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course, followed by a celebratory dinner. This event is designed to reconnect teammates, strengthen bonds, and build excitement for the season ahead during Ithaca’s most gorges weather. You’ll also have the chance to spend time with Coach Swanstrom and fellow Cornell football legends who continue to shape the program’s legacy.
