Great Value. Great Greens Grear views.

Had a nice round at Top of World. The greens were outstanding. I played Saratoga National 2 Days before. They were on par with that course for 1/4 of cost. The view from 10th tee is worth the trip. Tee boxes and fairways were good. Some strange holes on back. Would recommend to play. For that price and the views.

Nice view of Lake George (from #10)

Because this is a mountain course knowing when to land the ball left or right will be a big plus. Lots of slop on.many holes. I found the greens slow.

There were many players but still managed to complete the round in 4 hours.

Nice Layout

Course was in good shape but starting to dry out. Like the layout with a number of holes being unique. They have made some visible improvements and started replacing old carts.

First visit

Overall I was satisfied with my experience there. Some of the greens were rough in places. Course layout is very confusing for a first time visiting. But the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely go back again based on the time I had there.

Good Improvements

After doing some good changes to hole 12 the tee boxes were back where they normally are. The change should improve pace of play. Overall the course was in great shape. Restaurant was not offering dinner options until next weekend.

Unfriendly Staff

Staff in the pro shop is extremely rude and confrontational. Called a few times for tee times and was hung up on. I called back and the gentlemen was extremely rude. Moved tee times to another course. Staff is going to kill that company!

Fantastic views of the lake

We played on a sunny and windy day. The course is in ok shape. There were a couple holes under construction when we played- they are improving a bunker area on hole 7 and another hole had some major dirt being moved. Many holes are wide open; some narrow down toward the tee. Lots of elevation changes. Could walk it but it would be some effort. The views of Lake George were stunning especially from the 10th hole. The mountain views from most other holes were just beautiful. When we checked in, a comment was made that with GolfNow booking they make no money. It really didn't impact our play but as frequent GolfPass users, we wondered what that was all about.
