Shenendoah, at Turning Stone Resort, stands as a testament to modern resort golf, an ambitious project carved from the rolling farmlands of Central New York. Architect Rick Smith delivered a playable yet demanding parkland layout in the late 1990s. Its generous fairways belie the challenge lurking around the greens, where subtle undulations and strategically placed bunkers reward thoughtful approaches. While not renowned for penal rough, wayward drives can often find themselves in awkward lies amongst the fescue grasses bordering the manicured playing surfaces. The course favors a strategic player who can manage risk and execute precise iron shots. Turning Stone famously hosted the 2006 PGA Professional National Championship, a testament to its championship-caliber conditioning and playability, and has held several other professional events.
