Getting there
# Getting There
Cedar Lake Club sits in the quiet farmland of central New York, roughly two hours northwest of Albany International Airport (ALB), making it an intimate retreat well removed from major metropolitan corridors. The drive from Albany traces north through the Mohawk Valley before climbing into the rolling terrain of the Catskill foothills, where the landscape gradually shifts from open pasture to dense forest and the hum of the highway gives way to country roads lined with birch and hemlock. For those with access to private aviation, the nearest options lie within an hour's reach, though the club's deliberate seclusion - nestled among lakes and woodlands - underscores its design as a sanctuary for serious golf rather than a convenient weekend jaunt. The final miles unfold through tree-lined approaches that signal arrival at a place where the architecture of the course and the architecture of the land have been allowed to speak quietly to one another.
