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.

Nice location

Course is in a nice location with some good views. Condition of course was average and could be more maintained. Expected better course conditions for the price.

Nice Course

Course was in good shape. Greens were slow and a little inconsistent. Some harder than others.

Nice layout

The course was in good condition. Improved from the last time we played 2 years ago. Enjoyed the round and looking to go back.

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.
