The Sagamore Resort

The legendary Donald Ross golf course at the Sagamore Resort is nothing short of luxurious, with millions of dollars invested in its 1980s restoration and redesign. This can be explained by the fact that Sagamore is not only a place for golf but also a full-fledged recreation area with an adjacent hotel located several miles from the course.

Featured by the Golf Magazine as one of the Silver Medal Resorts, the 18-hole golf course offers spectacular views of Lake George’s surroundings. As envisioned by Ross, each hole uses the natural landscape to create a challenge for experienced players. In general, a visit to Sagamore should be timed to coincide with a vacation, rather than just playing golf: the recreation area can offer various types of entertainment for the whole family.

Notwithstanding its luxury, Sagamore is a public course, where anyone can book a tee time for their game: prices start at $190 and include a cart that will take you from the hotel to the golf course. However, for those who want to experience Sagamore’s top-quality service at its fullest, there are special membership types that include unlimited golf, complimentary cart, range balls and bag storage. Prices start at $3165 and membership details can be found on the official website.
