New York Golf Courses : Essex County
Essex County is located in the heart of New York State's Adirondack Park, south of Montreal and north of New York City. Interstate 87, the major highway between Albany and Canada runs right through the county. Amtrak's Manhattan to Montreal, Adirondack Special also makes a number of stops within the county. Boasting 1,907 square miles of land, Essex is the largest county in the park. Its terrain varies, ranging from 95 feet above sea level at Lake Champlain to 5,344 feet at Mount Marcy, the highest point in New York State. Lakes, rivers, streams, along with hundreds of miles of wilderness cover the landscape. There are many New York golf courses in the area. The history of this region began with the coming of Champlain with his companions and Indian guides in 1609. Any lasting settlement was delayed by the wars between the English and the French, with the added difficulties brought about by the confliction of land grants made by the two governments. Champlain had been made ruler over the territory as a reward for its discovery, but with the passing of the French rule came a proclamation by the King of England, in 1763, empowering the colonial governors to issue grants within their domain. These covering the same lands already granted by the French, threw doubt on all the titles for land, and in the period of adjustment, many sold their properties for very cheap prices. William Gilliland taking advantage of these troubled times, bought several thousand acres in Essex and Clinton counties, and upon them established the first planned colony in 1765 called Willsborough. To the south near the outlet of Lake George, another New York merchant, Samuel Deall, was founding the town known as Ticonderoga. When the Revolution ended the settlers poured in. Let’s see the New York golf courses in Essex County.

This very scenic course was built in a mountainous area. It is a challenging, yet enjoyable course to play. The fairways are wide open, and the greens are medium-sized. The ladies tee off from the same set of tees as the men.

New York Golf Courses Comments:
This resort has two eighteen hole courses and a nine hole course. The scenic Mountain Course was built on rolling hills, so expect uneven lies. Even though the fairways are narrow, they are somewhat forgiving because the rough isn't cut to thick.

This scenic course is located at the foot of the Adirondack Mountains. Accuracy is needed on this course because the fairways are narrow and the rough is thick. There is a brook zigzagging throughout the course that comes into play several times.

This executive course is using seventeen holes until reconstruction 18 is completed. The front nine holes feature relatively flat fairways that are very narrow. The back eight holes feature rolling terrain with numerous mature trees lining the fairway. The golf course is situated near Lake Champlain, and the very picturesque Adirondacks Mountains surround the course.

New York Golf Courses Comments:
This course can be deceptive because of all its required blind shots. It is a typical Adirondack course. The first five holes are narrow and the last four holes are wide. Water hazards and sand bunkers do not come into play on this course.

This extremely scenic course overlooks a valley. Typically, the fairways are wide open, and the somewhat sloped greens are average-sized. Water hazards, a brook that winds its way throughout the course, come into play on six holes.

New York Golf Courses Comments:
This course originally used a flock of sheep to trim the greens when it was known as Westport Inn Golf Links in the early 20th century. The scenic design overlooks Lake Champlain and offers fabulous views of the surrounding mountains. The greens are medium-sized and fast, and the back nine is tighter than the front nine. Many trees line the fairways, and there is water that comes into play on three holes.

This is one of the best courses in the north country. This scenic course has narrow fairways and was built on rolling hills. The medium-sized greens are undulating and difficult to read. A pond comes into play on 14, a 218-yard, par 3.

This very scenic course can be difficult because of the numerous trees that can alter your shots. The narrow fairways are tree lined, and the small greens are undulating. The terrain is flat and easy to walk.
