 The ideal starting point for a golfing tour would be the Lake Placid Club founded in 1895 by Melvil Dewey. There are two 18-hole courses and an executive 9-hole course, the 45 holes providing a variety of golf not often matched by other resorts. Click here for more information on Lake Placid Club.

Adirondack Mountains have been a summer destination and a golfers' delight
for decades. World class golfers like Craig Wood, who captured the US
Open and the Masters in the same year - Alistair Mackenzie, who went
on to design courses such as Augusta National and Cypress Point - and
Seymour Dunn, the renowned Scottish designer - not only lived here,
but helped shape the nature of golf in Lake Placid.
