Kaluhya Course

Always enjoy coming back to Turning Stone... Courses are always in fantastic shape. Kaluhya... I can never say it, but I love the challenge it presents. It is a fair test of golf, but you better bring your game.

Golf Turning Stone

Course was overwatered. But in amazing shape.Rough was punishing. . Bunkers not well maintained considering there are a lot of them . Greens excellent.
Getting off the I-90, signs to the golf course are very poor. Don’t rely on your GPS if you use the address on the website.. signage on the cross is minimal. Had to ask where the first tee was located.
Saw the cart girl once in 4.5 hours.
Bring plenty of balls.

Design is horrible

The most penalizing and poorly designed golf course I’ve ever played. It’s impossible to walk, the routing is horrific creating very long trips between holes and many forced Carries. As Tom Doak once said “a course so contrived and unnatural it may poison one’s mind. Can not recommend playing under any circumstances.”

At least the range is nice and casino so fun…

Shock

Course was terrific and very challenging. You will need a lot of different shots to play well. Greens are fast especially down hill and have a few subtle breaks you can not see. Would definitely play again

Great from start to finish

Played up here for a bachelor party and this was a course we decided to squeeze in. Boy were we in for it. This course is a beast that won’t give you much chances. We arrived and they were accommodating and helpful. The accommodations were stunning and amazing. The course doesn’t disappoint either. Greens are lightning fast and firm so you need to land it short and run it up. Fairways are narrow and punishing if you miss. The 600 yard par 5 is an 8 waiting to happen. Can’t wait to come back and play the proper tees

My favorite of the 3 at Turning Stone

The three golf courses at Turning Stone are all excellent.
None are easy, but Kaluhyat is the toughest.
Loved Shenandoah and Atunyote is a treat.
But K is King. A beautiful 18 holes, each requiring precise shot making-not many layouts this demanding. Add +5 if wind is blowing.
Not for hobbyists.

Excellent Experience

Played this course on 8/22/2020. It's always a treat to play Kaluhyat. The course is intimidating to look at but is often receptive to most incoming shots. It's visually pleasing while remaining difficult yet playable. Conditions are always great. The fairways were short, greens rolled fast and true (noticeably quicker than your typical public track, but not quit country club fast) and it was maintained well. The rough is as healthy as i've ever seen. Evenly cut throughout the entire course. Thick enough to make you hit a high cut into the green, but not as thick to where you need to hack out. The sand was average at best. It's not the fluffiest.

The clubhouse and the whole experience is great. The practice facility is as good as anywhere else, AND for a mere $100 more, we could have played Atunyote at the replay rate. Tremendous value.

The Turning Stone Monster

Arrived early for our golf outing so ended up playing Kaluhyat twice. This is a local favorite and Turning Stones second course to be in Golf Digests top 100 you can play list. This course plays to a 145 slope from the tips and even 135 from the white. Honestly I have played a few 135 courses and this is certainly every bit of this. It's a course where you can tame a hole or two but beating the beast would be a rare occurrence. This course always sends me back home to Myrtle Beach with my tail between my legs.

The shear beauty of every hole on this Robert Trent Jones Jr. track can not be matched. The natural experience is once again on display where all Turning Stone Courses are Audubon International "Certified Signature Sanctuary"

So why continue to come back here, its like Mt Everest, I want to tame the beast. My three golf partners were here for the first time. While one did say he never wants to be beat up like that again he was the first to ask when are we coming back.

Kaluhyat like all Turning Stone course is the golf experience not a round of golf. Let me congratulate Head Pro, Jeff Kleinman and his complete staff on providing us with a four day golf adventure of royal proportion. Every one from Alex in the pro shop to Emily and Corrine on the beverage cart have an infectious can do commitment. Also, take time and enjoy the food and drink at the clubhouse, SOAK IT ALL IN.

Worth every penny

Kaluhyat is probably the most challenging course of the three offered at turning stone. You really can’t go wrong with any of the three major courses offered. Kaluhyat offers challenges off most tee boxes and also with your approach shots. Amazing conditions throughout the round with greens that are rolled daily, fast but very fair! If you are thinking about visiting turning stone then golf is a must!

Another great course at Turning Stone

Didn’t get to see much of this course because of the weather but what we did see will make me book another visit. Our group played 4 holes before the greens became unplayable. I did see other holes during our visit either from the car or on walks.

The one that got away....

This was the last to play on our Golf Advisor getaway to Turning Stone. The first 2 courses (Shenendoah and Atunyote) were lots of fun. Kaluhyat promised to be another gem. If only the Weather cooperated! We managed only 6 holes before the deluge got the best of us and we called it quits. The course was beautiful. I now have to return to play the rest - Can't wait!

Cannot wait to go back and finish!

Was only able to finish 6 holes before the sky opened up. Took the opportunity to drive the rest of the course. It is terrific!

We wrapped up our trip at Turning Stone with Kaluhyat. The course is very nice and scenic, but unfortunately our round was cut short due to a monsoon of rain that came pouring in. We were able to play four holes and then ultimately had to call it quits. You cannot go wrong with any of the courses at Turning Stone and Kaluhyat is no exception.
