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.

Great Par 5s

This course was not in the best shape but it offered many scoring opportunities in the par 5s. Greens were actually faster and firmer than they looked. Staff was friendly and helpful, greenskeepers were constantly working on the trouble areas.

Greens Condition

Greens were slow but also hard. A couple had sand on them to resolve bare spot issues. The dry weather is taking its toll on them.
