Blown away by this course! What a gem…I will definitely be back! Club house is awesome to have a meal and drinks with a sweet view of Green Lakes and surrounding areas!

Took a trip from Rochester, NY and what a gorgeous course, excellent conditioning, huge undulating greens. Great clubhouse and practice area. Huge elevation changes. Great variety. Must play in the area.

The course is amazing but the staff there over books the teetimes like every three minutes so you’re waiting every time to take your shot. It’s almost not worth playing anymore. A three hour round turns into seven hours there absolutely terrible and frustrating.

Green Lakes State Park Golf Course is a tremendous, well managed, and extremely well maintained golf course. We only play here once or twice a year because we have a 2 hour 20 minute commute one-way from the Capital District to the course, so getting a foursome of retired old guys to commit to the commute is sometimes a challenge. That said, my friends who have been willing to make the commute all absolutely love this Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed layout. The course is challenging, a very interesting layout with tee boxes, fairways and greens that are absolutely pristine and beautiful to play in great condition and the very reasonable greens fees make this gem an incredible bargain; maybe the best in all of NYS.
To a person; the Pro, the starter, and the rangers are all doing a great job making sure that golfers feel welcome and assuring the pace of play is reasonable without being heavy handed (4 hours 30 minutes today on a very busy course with a 1:12 PM Friday tee time on a beautiful sunny day with temperatures in the low 80's and little humidity).
We had a foursome of women playing in front of our group (there seems to be a relatively high number of ladies who play this course compared to other courses we play, which is great to see and a trend that bodes very well for the future of the game), they were all very good golfers and quite friendly when we interacted with them on the 10th tee box. They seemed to be having a great time playing the game and enjoying each others company and their friendly banter was a pleasure to see. I would love to know who had the better rounds today them or us; it sure looked like a toss up.
All that noted, I just wanted to take a minute and thank the PGA Pro Jeff Carson and his entire team for a terrific golf experience and the Superintendent and his team for the great job they are doing keeping the course in top shape in a summer that has been long on sun and warmth and short on much rain with draught conditions that must make maintenance and upkeep a real challenge.
The long and short of our trip; it was a great golf experience enhanced by a top notch commitment to hospitality and its an understatement to say that we can't wait to play Green Lakes State Park Golf Course again soon. It is well worth the nearly 5 hour round trip and we can't give a higher recommendation or rating; 5 stars out of 5 stars and 8 thumbs way up from my foursome of OGs (old guys with attitude)!
Thanks again, for doing a great job! My friends and I love this place its a real gem in an amazingly beautiful setting.
