Top New York Area Golf Resorts

Golf lends itself to places that can nigh-guarantee nice weather. California, Arizona, Florida... all these destinations get off mostly scot-free from the chill and malign weather of the colder months. Yet when Spring and Summer roll around, those less-traveled northern states bring some of the most beautiful and divers golf courses in the country to the table. New York and its surrounding area are chief among them, and for your benefit we've put together a collection of the area's absolute best golfing getaways!

Do you love golf, but hate playing the same course over and over? Turning Stone Resort Casino feels your pain, and offers a total of five courses on and around their property!

To go into depth on each of the five courses could fill several pages, so instead we've chose to focus on one in particular: Atunyote. As the longest of Turning Stone Resort’s three championship courses, Atunyote also has one of the highest learning curves. In 2006 it was the site of both the PGA Professional National Championship and the BC Open. All of this would make it seem like it's unwelcoming to beginners, but not so fast! Atunyote has the beauty, charm, and closer tees to make even relative newcomers have a great time. Observe the vast stretches of open space, gently rolling hills, stream of small waterfalls, and shimmering lakes, and thank your lucky stars you chose to stay at Turning Stone Resort Casino!

Address

5218 Patrick Rd, Verona, NY 13478

Highlights

Tiger Woods, Camilo Villegas, Matt Kuchar, Steve Flesch, and Dustin Johnson have all walked the course!

Climb the high plateau that gives the Lodge (and town) its name, and you'll uncover one of Pennsylvania's hidden golfing treasures!

Skytop Lodge's course, rated 4.5 stars by Golf Digest, is mountainous and plays over the area's rolling terrain. This gives it a unique challenge (as well as backdrop). Most golf courses have sand traps and trees as hazards, something that the Skytop Lodge certainly does. But few others can claim to have elevation as its own challenge! Tee it up from the Championship Tee and play the course at a full 6,656 yards, ideal for those with a little more experience. New to the game? No problem! Private and junior golf lessons are available for those still figuring out their game. The sky is your limit at Skytop Lodge!

Address

1 Skytop Lodge Rd, Skytop, PA 18357

Getting there

The Lodge is 1.2 miles from I-84 and 52.5 miles from Lehigh Valley International Airport.
