Pearl Lakes Golf Course sits in the Finger Lakes region of central New York, near the village of Skaneateles. The course was designed by Chris Staples, a golf architect known for routing and conditioning work across the Northeast. The layout takes advantage of the rolling topography and natural water features characteristic of the area, incorporating several lakes into the design—a defining element that gives the course its name. The routing moves through a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with water hazards playing a strategic role on multiple holes. The course is built on terrain that rises and falls naturally, creating elevation changes that add visual interest and tactical variety to the design. The setting reflects the rural character of upstate New York, with views across the surrounding landscape typical of the Finger Lakes region. Pearl Lakes operates as a semi-private or public facility, welcoming daily-fee play alongside membership. The course serves the local golfing community and visitors to the region, offering a more understated alternative to high-profile championship venues. Conditions and playability reflect standard Northeast maintenance practices, with seasonal variations common to the climate. The course appeals to golfers seeking a solid regional design with natural water features and rolling terrain, rather than a destination resort experience. It represents the kind of working golf course that anchors recreational play in smaller upstate communities.
