Decent track in Upstate NY. 1 mile from Saratoga Race Track so the peak season prices get ridiculous. Other than the quality of the course itself, it’s nothing too special. Maintained well but pretty average design and scenery

Extremely well maintained, and not your run of the mill muni. Lots of challenging holes, used most of the clubs in my bag

Great layout, another upstate NY course under new management. Less than 5 years since but have made excellent progress in the time. Pace is god awful but that’s hard to combat in this day and age on public courses. Brewery on property is exceptional
