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.
Tee boxes
Most of the tee boxes were overgrown and clumpy.. Other than that the coures is a lot of fun.
Best about this place was the view
Nice view, staff was not overly friendly, course wasn’t well kept. The greens were in good shape. The fairways were mostly crab grass. Golf carts were old dirty and had bird poop all over them. Torn seats etc. They gave up in this place along time ago!
Just came by to play golf, staying elsewhere in Lake George. Workers were very friendly but this was probably the most strangely designed course I’ve played in my life. Greens were in decent shape and the fairways and tee boxes were fine, just cut a bit too high. With that said, several holes on the course presented layouts that were pretty outrageous and fairways that never lended a flat lie. The 14th is a par 5 with a dogleg of about 100 degrees, 80 feet downhill with several big trees blocking an approach. Many of the greens were severely sloped and the 17th was by far the smallest I’ve seen in my life. Decent value for the price but if you’re looking for a more pleasant and standard round, this is certainly not the place.
Great place to play golf
My wife's family has a reunion at Lake George every year. We have been going up there for many years and this year decided to go golf since my nephews are now older and like to play. We played a scramble, old guys vs young guys. I'm happy to say the old guys prevailed. It started to get really hot on back nine but in all we definitely would play this course again. One hole was weird (14) but rest were fun. We played the blue tees since my brother-in-law is a very good golfer. Luckily he was on my team (old guys) so that was main reason why we won. BUT, I did contribute to many holes which made me happy. In all, we will definitely play there next year! It's worth playing.
Fun Course
Super fun course with very interesting layout. Course conditions are good, greens are very slow. You won’t be spoiled with prime fairways and greens, but the views are great and you will experience a fun round on top of Lake George.
Fun Layout with Variety
Top of World exceeded my expectations as a Lake George area course. While many holes were tight as expected, there were also several very open/forgiving ones especially to start and finish the round.
Conditions were good enough but not so great amenities especially the putting green. What will bring me back is the overall layout and location to LG. Solid 4 star in my opinion. Course knowledge is also very valuable here with numerous blind shots.
