Adirondack Golf & Country Club
About this course
Adirondack Golf & Country Club sits in Peru, New York, in the Champlain Valley with views toward the Adirondack Mountains to the west and Lake Champlain to the east. The course reflects contributions from three architects across different eras: Geoffrey Cornish's original design work, later modifications by Brian Silva, and more recent updates by Mark Mungeam. This layered design history gives the layout a blend of traditional New England routing principles and contemporary strategic elements. The course occupies rolling terrain typical of the region, with elevation changes that provide natural drama and variety in shot-making. Holes move through a mix of open and wooded areas, with mature trees framing fairways and defining playing corridors. The design takes advantage of the property's topography to create interest through doglegs, elevated greens, and approach shots that require careful club selection. Adirondack serves as a private club in a relatively rural setting, offering a traditional country club experience in upstate New York. The facility caters to members seeking a full-service club environment in a scenic location, with the golf course as the centerpiece of recreational activity. The routing and conditioning reflect the priorities of a membership-focused operation rather than a high-profile tournament venue, emphasizing playability and year-round appeal within the constraints of the northern climate.

Getting there
The journey to Adirondack Golf & Country Club begins at Burlington International Airport (BTV) in Vermont, just across Lake Champlain, followed by a scenic 45-minute drive south and east into the foothills of the Adirondacks. The route traces the eastern shore of the lake before turning inland, where the landscape shifts from lakeside villages to dense forest and mountain vistas, the air growing crisper as elevation rises. Peru sits nestled in this quiet corner of upstate New York, where the club's manicured grounds emerge from the surrounding wilderness like a carefully kept secret - a refined sanctuary where the grandeur of the High Peaks frames every hole.
