My wife and I played on the 18 hole Mountain Course. It was a beautiful course with nobody on it. We were awed by the gorgeous scenery surrounded by the Adirondack rolling mountains. The greens were in state of art form. PGA could have played there.
The fairway and tees were maintained perfectly well.
It took us 3.5 hours to...

Owner description:
45 Holes of Championship Golf - Links Course, Mountain Course, & Pristine 9. The Lake Placid Club Links course was designed in 1909 by the renowned Scottish architect Seymour Dunn. Dunn remained true to his origins, and the Links course represents Scottish Links style golf at its best with bunker-laden fairways, native fescue, and large undulating greens. The Lake Placid Club Mountain course was laid out in 1910 by Alexander H. Findlay who immigrated to the U.S. from Scotland in the early 1880's and became one of the pioneers of golf in America. In 1931 the course was remodeled by Alister MacKenzie, designer of Augusta National – the home of "The Masters". With smaller greens and more tree-lined fairways, this course begs for the straight shot. The engaging design takes full advantage of the scenic vistas and will appeal to players of all levels. It is quite simply the essence of "mountain golf". Pristine 9 Executive Course - A little slice of golf heaven with 7 par 3's and 2 par 4's. The par threes range from 90 to 200 yards in length and have small undulating greens while the par 4's are reachable at 260 and 270 yards, eagles are rare, and birdies fly away with frequent three putts. Moose are known to frequent the Pristine 9 as they love to go for a dip on Hole 7 where the tee shot requires a carry over a pond. Typical round takes about an hour and a half, so it makes for family fun or a quick getaway for lunch on the run. Spectacular Weddings and Special Events: Overlooking the Historic Lake Placid Club Golf Courses, the Golf House offers the most beautiful view of the High Peaks in the Adirondacks. With an open-beamed ceiling, a massive stone fireplace & magnificent antler chandeliers, your Lake Placid special event at our Golf House is the epitome of an Adirondack experience. If you prefer the outdoors the covered pavilion attached to the Golf House gives you the best of both worlds...outdoor feeling while protected from the elements.

A confusing coarse, Prestine crosses over mountain and back, no real directions, No faucilities, water, potty break, you are miles from the Club house at a couple of spots.
For the price paid should have been a little more pristine!!
Glad I have played it so I now know to try differant coarses in the area.

My friend and I just played the mountain course. It is picturesque but that's about the only really positive thing I can say about it. There was only one hole with a bell on it but at least half the holes on the course need a bell. How can a course be designed so that you are shooting blind so...
