perfect day

The Golf Club @ Equinox had been on my must play list for many years but living in the Albany , N.Y area
where there is a over a dozen good courses under $50.00 kept me from driving the 90 minutes and spending considerably more. Golfnow made it worth the trip. I am now sorry that I waited so long. The classic layout reminded me of the Sagamore which is tucked in the Adirondacks overlooking Lake George. Like The Sagamore Equinox is shaped gracefully into the natural terrain not bulldozed into a manmade creation. And nature did well. Unlike the Sagamore the views from every hole are spectacular. The Green Mountains of Vermont seam to surround you . I played the middle tees, my wife the forward . I'm a 12, my wife a 20.
The front has some shortish par 4's which allow you shot pretty well if your hitting the well. Then the back throws a few 400 yarders at you that can be quite the test. 18 is awesome, 395 slight dogleg right to left increasingly uphill all the way. The huge oak(?) on the corner creates a great risk reward shot from the tee. I managed to get over the right side of the tree landing in the center of the fairway with my best drive of the day ( usually about a 250 poke) only to find I still had an uphill shot of 177 to the hole. Bunkered it,
took a bogey which I was fine with. Shot an 83
which I was quite happy with. Now the Golf Course @ Equinox has become a must play again course and soon.

overall 5 star

Playing Atlantic National was the the best golf experience I had since vacationing in the Boca Raton/ Palm Beach area. I misplaced my 60degree wedge late in my first round and the staff made every effort to find it but to no avail. The next day, before my second round the club pro gave me his to use and after the round offered to give me the club . I insisted on paying for it and he accepted a small fee. The next day, my playing companion whom I did not know tracked me down at my hotel and informed me he picked up my club by mistake. So after a 45 minute drive I retrieved my old club. I have playedDeer Creek, Carolina Club, and Heron Bay and have to say that my golf experience at Atlantic National was the best. John D.
