Lake George at Legendary Lake George Golf at The Sagamore Resort

Lake George at The Sagamore is a timeless testament to the enduring allure of golf in the Adirondacks, where its championship layout has challenged players amid the splendor of upstate New York for nearly a century. Its undulating fairways, carved from the rolling terrain surrounding Lake George, demand strategic play.

Designed in the Golden Age tradition by Donald Ross, the course presents a classic parkland experience, rewarding thoughtful shot-making rather than brute power. Decades later, Geoffrey Cornish subtly refined Ross’ vision, ensuring the course remained relevant for the modern game while honoring its original character. The walkable layout features relatively wide fairways, but its subtly contoured greens and strategically placed bunkers put a premium on approach accuracy and short-game prowess.

While The Sagamore has never hosted a major professional championship, it remains a respected and popular destination for amateur tournaments and discerning golfers seeking a challenging yet enjoyable round in a breathtaking setting. Its allure lies not in hosting history, but in its enduring charm and challenging layout and a warm inviting membership.
