Ausable Course


Ausable Club, nestled in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, is a testament to understated elegance, a place where generations have found solace and sporting camaraderie. Its enduring appeal is not necessarily found in national acclaim, but rather its tight-knit membership and commitment to a course that rewards thoughtful play over brute force. Carved into the rugged terrain during the Golden Age of golf architecture, the course, originally laid out by Walter Travis, presents a strategic challenge. Its parkland layout, defined by towering pines and dramatic elevation changes, favors accuracy and strategic course management. Blind shots and subtly contoured greens are common, demanding careful club selection and a keen understanding of the undulating landscape. Ausable's character is defined by its ability to test even the most seasoned golfer without resorting to extreme length or penal features. The bunkers, expertly placed, act as both strategic hazards and aesthetic enhancements, framing the fairways and greens beautifully. While Ausable Club has never hosted a major professional tournament, its members cherish the course's challenging yet fair nature, along with the convivial atmosphere that permeates the clubhouse. It's a place where a handshake means more than a scorecard, and the stories shared over post-round refreshments are as valued as the birdies made on the course. Ausable is also known for their post-golf dinners, a favorite tradition for members and their families.
The journey to Ausable Club unfolds through the northern reaches of the Adirondack Mountains, most readily accessed via Albany International Airport (ALB), roughly ninety minutes to the south, or via Plattsburgh International (PIT), a closer option sitting just across the Vermont border to the northeast. From either gateway, the drive north carries you through the Champlain Valley before the landscape rises into dense forest and granite peaks, the road narrowing as civilization recedes and the air sharpens with alpine clarity. The final miles wind through the private preserve surrounding the club, a deliberate passage that signals entry into one of America's most guarded sporting sanctuaries - a place where discretion and tradition have remained as immutable as the mountains themselves since 1887.
