About this course

McGregor Links Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Wilton, a town in Saratoga County in upstate New York. Devereux Emmet designed the course, which opened in the 1920s during a period when Emmet was actively working throughout the Northeast. Emmet, a prolific architect of that era, is known for courses that integrate naturally with their landscapes and emphasize strategic rather than penal design principles. His work typically features thoughtful bunkering and greens that reward careful approach play. The course sits in a region characterized by wooded corridors and gentle elevation changes typical of the southern Adirondack foothills. The routing likely takes advantage of the natural contours, with holes moving through stands of mature trees and across open fairway corridors. Emmet's designs from this period generally favor variety in hole length and direction, encouraging players to use different clubs and shot shapes throughout the round. McGregor Links serves as a private club for the Saratoga Springs area, a region with a long tradition of summer recreation and sporting culture tied to the nearby racetrack and resort community. The club provides a traditional country club experience for its membership, with golf as the central amenity. Courses of this vintage in the region often maintain a relatively understated character, reflecting the architectural sensibilities of the 1920s without the extensive modern alterations seen at more prominent tournament venues.

Getting there

Most visitors arrive via Albany International Airport, a straightforward 25-minute drive north into the rolling farmland and wooded hills of Saratoga County. The route traces the Hudson River valley before turning inland, where the landscape softens into the kind of quiet, pastoral New York that predates the interstates - stone walls, weathered barns, and gentle ridgelines. McGregor Links Country Club sits just beyond the village of Wilton, tucked discreetly among the pines and hardwoods, its arrival marked more by a sense of retreat than fanfare.
