A fun day
Fairways in OK shape, with a few thin spots. Nothing major. Most of the fairways are sloped, so you have to hit your tee shot to a spot and let it run down to where you want it. Tee boxes a little chewed up, but normal for this time of year. Some of the green fringes were very inconsistent with various varieties of grass in them. Greens themselves seemed to be very slow, but maybe that is by design, since they are also quite sloped. A little frustrating because we could never get used to the speed, and the tiny practice green doesn't give you much of idea of how hard an uphill putt has to be smashed. Overall, we enjoyed our afternoon round.
Better courses to play for much less $
100% honest review here with no punches held. After paying $62 for 18 w/cart per person, I left this course feeling ripped off. Club house staff is borderline unfriendly. Workers on course pay no attention to you. They drive up on you in carts, mowers, or pickup at any point. The greens are terribly slow. Most holes there is no definitive fairway. If there is a fairway it's not much shorter than the rough, if at all. Edges of play are so overgrown & thick you will lose your ball more than you find it. There's a short par 5 that doglegs 90* with trees blocking 90% of fairway. What are they thinking there? The layout is decent with a good combination of easy & challenging holes. The scenic view that's prized is only seen on a couple holes. Most better golfers will NOT enjoy the conditions & slow greens. The value just doesn't warrant the price.
Charming course
We had a deliteful 18 at Top of the World. It’s a very old school experience. The course feels like it was built by a guy with lots of land as well as money. In fact, that’s the story. Enjoyed the round a lot. Just don’t come expecting lux fairways. It was all clover. But the layout was interesting and challenging.
Pretty good course
Played 18 holes (walked) We had a good time but the hill between holes 15 and 16 was a killer. Would definitely come back but maybe get a cart.

Nice Course with Great Views.
I had a really good experience at the course. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The course was in great shape. I would play here again in the future.
Would not honor golf now pricing and are not up to date with tee times with the course. Cost us $25 more per person. Not sure why they use golf now.
Great course

Great round of golf, fantastic views !!
Beautiful golf course in great shape, friendly smiling staff, nice small pub for the after round cocktails!!
Adirondack golf with some magnificent views
Play this course and you'll get to enjoy the challanges of slopes and elevation changes requiring thoughtful club selection and shot placement through the smaller size greens.
Course condition good. No hard paved cart paths is an esthetic plus.
Staff very friendly.
