Lake Placid (Mountain)
The Lake Placid Club is home to two championship layouts, the Links and Mountain courses. Both are well-rated and popular courses. The Mountain course is a tree-lined parkland layout that should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy.
The course features breathtaking views of the Adirondacks, including New York's highest peaks, Mt Marcy and Mt Colden. The scenic spendour starts with the first hole located high atop a hill beside the new Adirondack-style clubhouse. A course to include on your play list if you are in the area.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends during golf season (April thru' Oct).
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted.

Lake Placid's Mountain Course was laid out in 1910 by Alexander H. Findlay, often called the "Father of American Golf". Like Seymour Dunn, who designed the resort's Links course, Findlay immigrated to the U.S. from Scotland.

Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
