Turning Stone Resort

Sandstone Hollow, carved into the rolling landscape of Central New York near Verona, offers a distinct golfing experience within the Turning Stone Resort. It’s a playable, yet challenging course that doesn’t beat you up from the tee with forced carries and narrow fairways. Designed in the late 1990's, the course departs from classic architectural styles, embracing a modern aesthetic with generous fairways, strategic bunkering, and subtly undulating greens. This allows for the creative use of ground game, adding a dimension to the strategic placement of approach shots. The course rewards accuracy and thoughtful club selection, particularly when navigating the numerous water hazards that come into play on several holes. While Sandstone Hollow has not hosted major professional championships, it stands as a popular destination for regional tournaments and resort guests seeking a well-maintained and enjoyable golfing experience. It’s a place where friendly wagers are common, and the 19th hole buzzes with recaps of the day's triumphs and near misses. The course's allure lies in its accessibility and playability, making it a staple of the Turning Stone experience.
