The West Course at Malone Golf Club is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design located in the northern reaches of New York's Adirondack region, near the Canadian border. Jones, who designed or redesigned hundreds of courses across North America during his prolific career, brought his characteristic strategic approach to this layout in a setting defined by the area's rolling terrain and northern forest character. The course reflects Jones's philosophy of heroic design, where players face clear risk-reward decisions and must choose lines based on their ability and confidence. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography common to this part of New York, with elevation changes and tree-lined corridors typical of courses built in forested settings. Jones's trademark features—including strategically placed bunkers, generous but contoured greens, and water hazards positioned to challenge specific shot values—shape the playing experience. The design requires thoughtful course management rather than simply overpowering the layout. Malone Golf Club serves the small community of Malone, a town of several thousand residents in Franklin County, and the surrounding North Country region. The club provides a traditional member-focused golf experience in an area where the season is compressed by northern winters. The West Course represents one of the more substantial Jones designs in this remote corner of New York, offering a test of golf shaped by one of the twentieth century's most influential architects in a distinctly Adirondack setting.
