Lake Placid Golf Courses – 31 Miles
The ideal starting point for a golfing tour would be the Lake Placid Club founded in 1895 by Melvil Dewey. There are two 18-hole courses and an executive 9-hole course, the 45 holes providing a variety of golf not often matched by other resorts. The par 70, 6,156 yard Mountain Course features breathtaking views of the Adirondacks starting with the first hole located high atop a hill beside the new Adirondack-style lodge designed by Bill Zmistowski who also designed a few of Jack Nicklaus’ clubhouses. The setting is unsurpassed for its views of New York’s highest peaks, Mt. Marcy and Mt. Colden. Although sheer beauty does not make a great hole, it surely enters the equation on this 368-yard, par 4, first hole. Directions
Craigwood Golf Club – 37.5 Miles
The front nine at the Craig Wood course is much more open than the back nine with each hole having its own distinct personality. It has been said that a good golf course is often judged by the number of memorable holes, and this course has its share. The eighteenth calls for a precise drive over a large ravine guarded by rough and trees on the left and a road marked by out-of-bounds on the right.
It is a fitting finish to a memorable course named for a terrific champion.
