Thousand Islands Country Club (Lake)

Overview: The Lake Course at Thousand Islands Country Club is the shorter, more sheltered 18-hole companion to the historic Old Course on Wellesley Island. Reviewed course data lists it at par 70 and 5,005 yards. The routing weaves through woodland, ponds, wetlands and the remnants of George Boldt’s gondola canals, producing a round that is compact in scale but full of unusual sightlines. It is a distinctive resort-course option for golfers visiting the Thousand Islands and the St. Lawrence River.

History: Thousand Islands Country Club traces its golf history to 1894, when George Boldt developed the original island course. The Lake Course was added later as the shorter counterpart to the Old Course, and the current official tour presents it as a separate 18-hole routing with its own character. The exact opening year and architect for the Lake Course are not stated reliably in the reviewed official material, so this profile keeps those fields blank while retaining the documented facility history.

Did You Know? The fourth hole plays from a cliff over a road, while the sixteenth runs downhill toward the Lake of the Isles beside the old canal landscape. Those two holes give the shorter routing an unusually bold visual rhythm.
