The Lake Placid Club

With 45 holes of breathtaking golf, Lake Placid Club is the premier golf facility in the heart of the Adirondacks. Its three historic courses — the Links, the Mountain, and the Pristine Nine — have set the high standard for golf in Lake Placid for more than one hundred years.

The Links Course was the first to arrive here, in 1909. It was given life by legendary Scottish designer Seymour Dunn, whose prior clientele included King Leopold of Belgium, King Emmanuel of Italy, and the Rothschild Estate in France. As one could expect from the Scotsman, the Links is a true links-style affair, with more than 7,000 yards of wide fairways and large greens.

The original Mountain Course came about a year later, in 1910, as a design of another Scotsman, Alexander Findlay. It was subsequently redesigned in 1931 by none other than Alister MacKenzie, who also designed the course at a little place called Augusta National. The Mountain is a bit shorter than the Links at 6,501 yards.

Finally, the nine-hole Pristine 9 is an executive-length par-29 that was also designed by Mr. Findlay in 1910. Consisting of 7 par-3s and 2 par-4s, the Pristine 9 is a quick, fun play that makes a great option for the whole family. Oh, and look out for moose on No. 7 — they like to bathe in the water that makes up your forced-carry tee shot!

After your round, settle in to the Lake Placid Club Boat House. It's the perfect location to relax with your favorite classic menu item and watch the happenings on the lake as you toast to another great round at Lake Placid Club.
