Things to do
The most “upstate” experience you can find. Not like any golf experience you’ve had before. Backyard 9 hole golf course run by the sweetest husband and wife you’ll ever meet. ZERO FRILLS. Think VERY rough roughs and booby trapped greens. Perfect beginning course, bring the whole family. No tee time required just call ahead.
Please note: this is not the place to go with any expectations. The couple is amazing and trying hard but the course will leave a lot to be desired if you are an avid golfer looking for something high end. Otherwise enjoy the scenery and hospitality!
