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.

I was treated horribly

Arranged to meet friends from various States to play golf in Lake George area. Had a 1:00 tee time. When we reached the 10th tee there were about 40 guys lined up for league play. We were never advised of this. Upon questioning those running the facility we were told that we could play the front nine again. Not want we had wanted to do. When I asked if we could get a refund we were offered $15 back on a $70 round. Disrespected and trivialized by those who run this place. Played Queensbury Country Club the next day. It was a much better experience. Avoid Top of The World. Poor customer service, poorly maintained track and amenities.

Take lots of balls!

Greens are plush and beautiful. Fairways are OK and the rough is too thick. Lost numerous balls in the fairway and rough. Signage is very poor and the map on the card is useless. No comfort stations anyway so drink lightly. The cart paths are gravel and uneven, beware. The setting is magnificent with a beautiful view of Lake george from the 10th tee. I’m glad we chose to play here on our visit but there maybe other courses that are kore suitable.
