Saratoga Lake Golf Club

Overview: Saratoga Lake Golf Club is a public 18-hole course in the woods just south of Saratoga Lake, near Saratoga Springs and the Adirondack foothills. The club’s site identifies the layout as par 72, while the reviewed scorecard lists 6,284 yards from the black tees, with shorter white and gold options. Tree-lined fairways, wetlands, a water hazard and changes in elevation create a shot-making round that asks players to choose lines carefully. The course is close enough to the Saratoga tourism corridor to work as an easy addition to a broader golf trip.

History: Discover Saratoga records Saratoga Lake opening for play in fall 2000. The reviewed course record credits C. Michael Ingersoll with the design, and the property has since evolved through course work, tree removal and a major clubhouse and restaurant expansion for the 2019 season. The club continues to present itself as a public destination for everyday rounds, outings, instruction and golf-related travel, with its wooded setting and lake proximity remaining central to the identity.

Did You Know? Saratoga Lake Golf Club sits between exits 12 and 13 of Interstate 87, just off the south side of the lake. That location puts a quiet wooded course within easy reach of Saratoga Springs without placing the fairways inside the busy resort center.
