The Championship Course is one of the premier public courses in the Saratoga-Capital Region of New York State, and a consistent recipient of 4 Stars from Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play. The original holes were opened in 1936. In the late 1950s golf course architect William Mitchell was brought in, and designed the course we all enjoy today. Shortly thereafter, Arnold Palmer & Gary Player played a commemorative round to celebrate the course reopening. Set in a pine forest, the course derives much of its character from the majestic pines that frame several holes, creating a feeling of seclusion. In addition to our Championship Course, we also have a 9-Hole Par 3 course, a full grass tee driving range, and Catherine's in the Park Restaurant that overlooks the beautiful Victoria Pool.
