Best public golf course and experience in upstate NY

Whenever I really want to treat myself, my golf partner and I will drive 90 minutes and spend a day here at Atunyote.

Closest thing to being a member at an exclusive country club, it is well worth the money.

For starters, the minute those huge gates open to let you enter, you know this is a special place.

The grounds are spectacular....no real estate development, no traffic noise and flowers everywhere.

Clubhouse is incredible....built for when the PGA tournament was held here.

Practice facility is beyond exceptional. And they do not mind you spending lots of time even after the round.

Golf course is a 10. It's a Tom Fazio design. Conditions can't be better as they spend lots to maintain it and limit the number of rounds played daily.

Love the layout....not super demanding off the tees but challenging approaches needed. Greens smooth as can be imagined.

Staff are friendly, professional and accommodating.

The sister courses of Shenandoah and Kaluyut are very good but not in the same league/price.

I'm not a casino guy, but I love Turning Stone for golf.

Probably the closest thing to golfing in heaven

What else can I say? Everything from the front gate, to the 18th hole is picturesque and beautiful. Course conditions were immaculate and staff was as friendly as can be. This 7700 yard track can be set up to play as tough as anything out there but the fairways are moderately wide for all golfers to enjoy. The beautiful club house, practice facility, and course passes many private country clubs in every way. Due to the hefty price tag, this track gets very little play. With the beautiful scenery on every hole, it almost feels surreal because you feel like you have the place to yourself. Even though we were practically the only ones on the course, our round took over 5 1/2 hours due to taking pictures and taking in the beauty of the course. With the top notch facility available to anyone playing, the staff makes you feel like you are a member at a country club. Definitely a bucket list course for any golfer.

Tough track, not for the week hearted

One of the toughest tracks as they come. With a slope rating of 150, most weekend warriors should not be playing from the tips and championship tees. Everything that challenges a player is in this course. Long holes, blind shots, moderately narrow fairways with fescue and native grass will punish you if fairways are missed. There are plenty of force carries over water hazards, marsh, and fescue on most holes. In my opinion the toughest course in the Turning Stone facility because it's the least forgiving off tee shots. Even though it's a tough test, good shots do get rewarded. Since the greens were recently aerated, conditions weren't perfect this day. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The facility has that homey feeling as oppose to the hustle and bustle on a extremely busy muni. Anyway, playing all the courses at Turning Stone is worth the drive. Definitely one of the best tracks that's available to the public.

Long fun track that rewards good shots

Beautiful designed track with wide fairways. You can have fun letting go with the big stick. Missing these fairways could punish you due to their high rough, fescue and native grass. There is plenty of course carries over sand bunkers, marsh and water hazards so good ball striking is still required. If playing for the first time, be aware of subtle breaks on putts. Course conditions are immaculate and staff is super friendly. Price is expensive but you get what you pay for. One of the best tracks that has tee times open to the public.

FYI, course had major reconstruction. GPS is useless on most holes so use a laser.

A tour-like experience in every way

I played in this during the final round of a Golf Channel Am Tour major just a couple of weeks after the PGA Professional Championship, and it was flawless. That was conditioning, of course, but this Fazio layout is pretty much perfect. There's plenty of room to drive the ball, a great variety of holes and some pretty good views. From the clubhouse you can see the majority of the course, which is beautiful parkland layout.

Can't Go Wrong

This is one of the most challenging public courses in New York State. Always extremely well maintained and a pleasure to play. This course requires much more accuracy compared to the sister course Shenandoah. Shenandoah is also beautiful, but is a resort course and is much more forgiving. Beautiful facility.

Epic

Amazing course!! Conditions were absolutely perfect for this late in the season. Had to wait 45 mins due to a frost delay but that's expected during this time of the year. Staff was extremely friendly and courteous. In the process of setting up a day to play one more round there before the season is over. Over A++++++ experience.

Shenandoah @Turning Stone Casino

You better play these courses out here at Turning Stone Resort and Casino. The best anywhere. Greens run probably about 13 on the stimpmeter. The layouts are fantastic and tough, but manageable with provided beautiful yardage booklets. You will not be disappointed.

Great course for good golfers

This is a very good course with lots of challenging holes. Multiple tees allow you to adjust to suit your game. It is not forgiving as many areas have high grasses just a few yards off the fairway. Also a number of blind tee shots. The course is in excellent condition for a resort course. The course is ranked in the top 100 public courses you can play .

Wow, just wow

What a fantastic golf course. From the Jones layout to the condition of all three facets of the course, tee, fairways and greens to the helpful staff this course is top notch and if you wait until 2pm you can play for only $100 including cart and range. This is not a course for the faint of heart, this is a tough course to play for anyone over a 15 handicap. As we like to say "this is big boy golf". With a nice, fairly wide open par 5 to start you round you can get a false sense about this course. Don't be fool, there are challenges on every hole with forced carries off the tee on almost all 18. If you miss the fairway on any of these holes you will most likely be in grass up to your knees. Watch you ball if it is staying because it won't be easy to fine. This is a top course on my list and I would go back.

Overpriced

Way over priced. Zero service. The day I played there were 5 cars in the parking lot and I had to walk off the course because of slow play. There was no care as to my golf experience that day. I have played and stayed at Pebble, Whistling and Bandon so I have an experience with what service should be at +$200 a round. Course was in excellent condition and greens were impeccable. It was overall a very disappointing day due the non caring staff.

Shenendoah

A real fun course. Wide fairways, tough rough and great greens. Plenty of challenge without a lot of stress. Very enjoyable course with everything right out in front of you.

Kaluhya Course

Always enjoy coming back to Turning Stone... Courses are always in fantastic shape. Kaluhya... I can never say it, but I love the challenge it presents. It is a fair test of golf, but you better bring your game.

One of the toughest courses in New York State

This Robert Trent Jones design is the most challenging of the three superb courses that make up the Turning Stone Resort. The tree-lined layout consists of different elevated fairways and tees and well-guarded greens. It is a shot-makers course.
Bring plenty of golf balls. Beautiful views . Very expensive greens fees. But worth the tariff once and awhile when you want a real golfing experience.

upstate golf oasis

Wow. What a golf course. This Rick Smith design always makes any top 10 New York State golf course
ranking. Wide fairways with a links feeling. Superb conditions. Challenging rough. It is expensive so I usually play it when I can get a special rate or want to treat myself or somebody else. A must golfing experience.
