reviewer: John from Akron

one of the oldest continualy running country clubs in the country. clubhouse exudes class and tradition. staff is very helpful and courteous. the course is short and somewhat benign. greens are very fast and true. a pleasure to play.

Blue Heron Pines
"First time golfer"
First course I played since getting into golf, played 11 times. Lots of hazards and had fun playing. Would still be there except 60 par can't help building my handycap. A little costly for a exec course and for a new golfer, for the same or less you can play full 72.

"Adirondack gem."
My favorite layout in the Adirondacks, a course you can play 100's of times and never tire of. After a difficult first hole you are presented with good scoring opportunities on the front. Holes 10 thru 13 are as tough as they come and as scenic, they stick in the minds of golfers at every level. Take time to chat (or have a lesson) with John Hall, PGA pro and managing partner, I guarantee he'll be friends with at least one pro from your area.

"Diamond on the River"
Tight, beautiful fairways. Small demanding green that role true. By mid to late summer, greens are at least 10 on the stemp meter.

Lake Shore Golf Course
"Lakeshore"
This is one of the most fantastic short courses I have played in a long time. The changes made in the past few years have really made the most out of the space the course has to work with. The holes that resemble the ones from the old course are improved, and the brand new holes make the course much more challenging. The staff is spectacular, in particular the head professional. He did an excellent job organizing our outing. We will definitely be back in the future.
