Tennanah Lake at Tennanah Lake Golf & Tennis Club

Tennanah Lake Golf & Tennis Club sits in the Catskill Mountains region near Roscoe, New York, a town long known as "Trout Town USA" for its position at the confluence of the Willowemoc and Beaverkill rivers. The course was designed by Alfred H. Tull, a regional architect active in the early-to-mid twentieth century who created several layouts across New York and the Northeast. The property takes its name from the lake that features in the routing, providing both scenic backdrop and strategic element to the design.

The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the western Catskills, where elevation changes and natural contours shape the playing corridors. Tull's design works with this topography to create variety in hole character and shot requirements. The lake itself comes into play on multiple holes, demanding carries or creating hazards that influence club selection and strategy. Mature trees frame many fairways, and the mountain setting provides a forested, secluded atmosphere distinct from more open parkland designs.

Tennanah Lake functions as a private club serving both golf and tennis members, operating as a seasonal facility given the Catskills climate. The club draws its membership largely from the surrounding region and from those with second homes in the area, maintaining a traditional country club structure. The course offers a representative example of mid-century regional design adapted to mountainous terrain, providing a retreat-style golf experience in the upper Delaware River watershed.
