Jurassic park

Great scenery, but some crazy holes. Greens need work and are very contoured and sloped. You definitely should take a cart. Back 9 has some really steep slopes and fairways. It is on a mountain side !

Management does not seem to care about groups of 5 or more playing and jumping all over the course. This can be a big turn off.

Great experience

Doesn’t play quite as short as the card yardage. View from the 10th tee is tough to beat anywhere

Me

I loved the course layout. The only problem I had was that no one wanted to help me check in. The “man” was sitting at the bar eating a hotdog and could have easily told me he would be with me shortly but instead watched me wander around looking for a place to check in so I could begin play. Will play again.

Top of the World Lake George

This is a great course for the price we paid for a twilight round! The layout of 14 is very odd and doesn't feel natural but is certainly challenging. Hole 10 has the best view of them all overlooking lake george! Staff was very friendly and helped us get checked in quickly and right into our carts. 100% would play again!

Mountain golf

For someone who has not played here before finding the tee box for the next hole might require a search (not all holes are like that). Some blind shots required on certain holes. Be sure to check the score card as it does have diagrams of each hole.

Great course

Really nice course with amazing views of LG. Fairways need some work, or need to be distinguished from the beginning of the rough. Lack of cart paths is a slight issue.

Not worth the money

Everyone said you have to play Top of the World golf course. Well the fairways were in poor condition but the greens were nice. Cart paths horrible at on point it was like you were off road. Poor signage to direct you to the next tee. When in at 10am to get something to drink and the gentlemen behind the counter said we have to use the vending machines..what the he'll is the purpose of have a Bar in the clubhouse ???? All I wanted was to buy bottled water. Will never go back. Not worth the money.
