Saranac Inn Golf & Country Club
Played On 08/27/2016The most expensive DUMP I've played
I don't normally review courses, because they're all pretty good. But this weekend, I traveled to the Saranac area for a golf trip with 8 guys. None of us are high end players, but we all golf. We went to Saranac Inn with high expectations, based on some internet searches, and videos on the course website. We played on a Saturday morning for $70 a piece. Right off the bat, we were disappointed. Old, hand-me-down carts that barely ran, a dump of a clubhouse, and a staff of jerks. However, it was the course that we were most disappointed in. Basically not maintained, never watered, and ghetto. Weeds growing out of sand traps that were not being kept up, entire fairways of brown, dead grass, and tee boxes that we basically dirt piles. My advice to you: go to Old Forge and play Thendara twice for the price of Saranac, at least until they price it right, or get new management that knows how to maintain a course.
This guy probably played Saranac Lake course on route 73. If not he simply does not know what he is talking about. Either way I would discount this review.
Conditions at Saranac Inn are ALWAYS 8 or 9 on a scale of 10. Next time review/play the correct course
I remember your group very well. Again, this is a very inaccurate review, but you already know that. When you walked in with your coolers we politely told you we do not allow them on the course because we have a cart girl with beers, soft drinks, snacks and sandwiches. You were all immediately upset with us which is fine but your review of the course is unfair. Our greens, tees and, fairways were in perfect shape then and they still are now.
Unfortunately, this comment is very inaccurate and it is hard for me to even put into words how to respond to this review. When you came in with your coolers, we politely informed you that they are not allowed on the course as we have a cart girl who serves beers, soft drinks, snacks, sandwiches etc. Immediately you were upset but I never thought it could lead to such an inaccurate review of the course. We did suffer minor fairway damage from the drought, but the tees and the greens were perfect and still are.
