Antlers Golf Club is a nice golf course located in Fort Johnson, NY. It is an 18 hole course with a practice green, pro shop ,and restaurant. The course is historic as it was the first one built in the Amsterdam area.
Antlers is one of the most well designed courses in the area. The design builds in many doglegs and blind tee shots where you cannot see the green from the tee box. The course is very hilly and these hills can affect how you play your shots. Most of the greens have a lot of slope in them. It is a good idea to keep your ball below the pin on these as they move with a lot of pace. Some of the greens are also small and hard to keep your ball on. With this course local knowledge goes a long way.
Several of the tee boxes and fairways were suffering from burnout. Some of the sand traps were not in the best of shape. The greens were in good condition. The staff in the pro shop was helpful and friendly. Prices here are reasonable. This course is an interesting one to play with its unique design and history. Stop by and give it a try.

Needs quite a bit of attention on the grass end. Tee boxes were mostly bare ground and very unpleasant to start each hole. Greens were all in good shape.
