Saratoga Lake Golf Club FEATURED COURSE

“Playing golf at Saratoga Lake Golf Course is like taking a nature hike,” says avid female golfer Audrey Looye. Audrey’s former property bordered the course and its convenient location made her a frequent visitor to the undulating, tree-lined course. “I love that it’s in the middle of the woods with beautiful views of Saratoga Lake,” she adds. Alex Ventre, former golf columnist for The Saratogian agrees. “Players get a view of all the course has to offer on the first tee box. A mountainous backdrop is visible from the downhill 324-yard opener.” Located at 35 Gracemoore Road in Saratoga Springs, the par-72 public course is one of our area’s best kept golf secrets. Audrey feels the course is great for women as it is shorter. She enjoys walking the front nine, but often takes a cart for the hillier backside. The course, which opened for play 2000, offers season passes and many specials throughout the week. Especially popular is the $1 a hole Mondays and Tuesdays. For those nature lovers eager to try the course, here’s a few tips from Audrey and Alex: 1) Precision off the tees is important on this tight course, making irons and fairway woods the smarter play than drivers. 2) Be mindful on the green that the ball will break toward the lake- it is at the lowest elevation. 3) There are a lot of elevation changes, so distances aren’t always what they seem. Be sure to club up or down depending on the terrain.
