New York Golf Courses : Saratoga County
The fruitful hunting ground of the Iroquois Indians was called Sarachtogue, (hillside of a great river, place of the swift water), until 1791 when the area became Saratoga County. Because of its favorable position in the angle of the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers, Indian trails crossed the County in all directions. Early fur trading on the southern border of the county was indicative of its fur and game potential. The mineral springs were used as medicine by the Indians and the superior quality of the fur was attributed to the saline springs from which the animals drank. Site of the first significant American military victory during the Revolution, the Battles of Saratoga rank among the most decisive battles in world history. Here in 1777 American forces met, defeated and forced a major British army to surrender, an event which led France to recognize the independence of the United States and enter the war as a decisive military ally of the struggling Americans.
Today, Saratoga once again stands proud and prosperous. A revitalization of the past combined with new investment of the present by community leaders, banks, citizens and organizations has made Saratoga County a center of culture, education, and clean industry. You must see and play the many New York golf courses in the county. Skidmore College and other educational institutions have enriched the academic environment of the area. The countryside's historic aura is accentuated not only by the Victorian homes that flourish in Ballston Spa, Round Lake, Stillwater and Saratoga Springs, and the remembrance of the Battle of Saratoga which marks the turning point of the American Revolution, but also by the National Museums of Racing, Dance, and the National Bottle Museum. From the well-preserved Saratoga Race Track, to the mineral springs on the 2,100 acre Spa Park, residents and visitors alike can rediscover the treasures of Saratoga. Now it’s time to see the many Great New York golf courses in Saratoga County.

This is a deceiving and difficult course to play. The tree-lined fairways are narrow, and the undulating greens putt true. Water hazards come into play on eleven holes. Pete Craig added nine holes and redesigned the others in 1965.

This course plays alongside the Hudson River. There is one pond that comes into play on one hole. The fairways are mostly flat, but there are a few hills that can cause uneven lies. The greens are fast and in very good condition. There is an additional set of tees that can be used when playing an eighteen hole round.

This scenic course is nestled amid the Adirondack Mountains. It was designed to play through the wooded terrain and features some narrow dogleg fairways. In addition to the narrow fairways, the course has small greens, so shot accuracy is essential. Water hazards (two ponds and several creeks) come into play on at least four holes.

This club has three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. However, the club wishes to list these are three separate nines. These courses were built on rolling terrain and have small, fast greens. Their fairways are well defined by the many trees lining them, and water comes into play at least eight times on the courses.

This championship course is very difficult to score well on. However, all golfers will appreciate the challenge of this layout. It has narrow fairways and the greens are medium in size and speed. Water comes into play twice, and there is ample bunkering throughout the design.

This very exclusive club limits the number of guests allowed to play on the course. This hilly course has wide-open fairways and its fast greens are guarded by several bunkers. Hole 3 is a 210-yard, par 3, requiring a shot over a pond to the green.

This par 72 championship layout is a mix of styles, and is constructed on a former horse farm, with many wetland areas throughout. Water comes into play often, and 16 holes require forced carries off the tee. Though generally an open flat course, there is some elevation to the fairways, and the large greens play fast. There are 5 sets of tees to accommodate all skill levels, and the carts are GPS equipped. All fees include golf cart with GPS, unlimited use of the practice facility for the day, and use of a locker and other clubhouse amenities.

This club has three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. The Red Course is the most difficult because of its hilly terrain. However, only two holes are protected by sand bunkers. The Blue Course is the easiest of the three, featuring numerous dogleg fairways.
