Beloved by locals and in-the-know Adirondack vacationers, this shotmaker's gem is everything that it's posh Saratoga Springs competition is not - fun, fast and friendly, plus dirt cheap at off-peak times.
If you hit it 250-plus, leave your driver at home unless you can pipe it consistently, or save it to blast away at the 300-yard par 4 12th, where a narrow opening to a steeply sloped green is irresistible to big boppers on the elevated tee. Elsewhere, thick pine stands along nearly every fairway and lots of doglegs give the careful, thinking player a chance . Greens, while sparse, have improved dramatically in recent years.
Overall, it's a fun place to play if you're looking for a course that rewards good iron play and lag putting.
Course conditions are what you would expect of an Average Joe's mountain hideaway course, but the clubhouse food is great and abundant. Best sweet potato fries ever.
