Great place to play golf

My wife's family has a reunion at Lake George every year. We have been going up there for many years and this year decided to go golf since my nephews are now older and like to play. We played a scramble, old guys vs young guys. I'm happy to say the old guys prevailed. It started to get really hot on back nine but in all we definitely would play this course again. One hole was weird (14) but rest were fun. We played the blue tees since my brother-in-law is a very good golfer. Luckily he was on my team (old guys) so that was main reason why we won. BUT, I did contribute to many holes which made me happy. In all, we will definitely play there next year! It's worth playing.

Fun Course

Super fun course with very interesting layout. Course conditions are good, greens are very slow. You won’t be spoiled with prime fairways and greens, but the views are great and you will experience a fun round on top of Lake George.

Fun Layout with Variety

Top of World exceeded my expectations as a Lake George area course. While many holes were tight as expected, there were also several very open/forgiving ones especially to start and finish the round.

Conditions were good enough but not so great amenities especially the putting green. What will bring me back is the overall layout and location to LG. Solid 4 star in my opinion. Course knowledge is also very valuable here with numerous blind shots.

Challenging!!!!

I’ve played here a bunch of times. And every time it has been enjoyable. The sights only add great things to this lovely, yet challenging course… Greens are definitely tough to read, but all and all, it was a great round!!!

Great course.

Some narrow holes, challenging but not over complicated. I would play it once a week.
