Green Lakes Golf Course
"This scenic 18-hole course, with its plush fairways, is one of the first golf courses designed by Robert Trent Jones, one of the game's most innovative golf course architects. Green Lakes State Park's landscape and rolling terrain tests all playing abilities. The course has deep faced bunkers and golfers rarely receive a flat lie. Errant tee shots may be costly. There is a panoramic view from the Robert Trent Jones clubhouse featuring a public restaurant with a beautiful patio overlooking the course and lakes.Tee time reservations taken 7 days in advance online or by calling the pro shop IN SEASON at 315637-4653."

To Those Committed to Great Golf Experiences: On Friday 9/1/2023, we played Green Lakes State Park Golf Course. I booked a tee time 7 days in advance and there was only a single open tee time available on Friday at 2:20 PM going into a busy Labor Day weekend. First, the park and the grounds in the area of the golf course were in extraordinarily great condition that reflected a truly strong commitment to a regular schedule of well-timed and planned maintenance and upkeep . Green Lake State Park Golf Course stands out as one of the best, if not the finest, golf courses we have played in the last 10 years and that includes both public and private courses. We play between 50 and 75 rounds of golf in a typical year. The place is absolutely in immaculate and outstanding condition. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were perfectly groomed and manicured, the rough was fairly deep and challenging and the greens, well the greens were simply amazing; fast, very undulating with many severe and challenging breaks that were difficult to read, but the putting was quite fast and very true. The traps were well raked and maintained with ample amounts of sand. The layout was designed by famed golf course architect Robert Trent Jones in circa 1930 and he made full use of a dramatically beautiful wooded landscape with severe elevation changes to create a challenging but fair exciting layout that is as stimulating to play as it is beautiful to observe with its many scenic views of Green Lake and the surrounding forest where the park is located. The par 3's were all challenging, well protected by bunkers, but set at fair yardage lengths. The par 5's ranked among some of the most interesting holes on the course due to their dramatic changes in elevation and the par 4's were all reasonably long, often with doglegs that required executing difficult approach shots to well-bunkered greens and tough pin placements. The greens are a wide variety of sizes, but every one was rolling fast and loaded with interesting undulations, unusually large and sometimes multiple breaks, and great, very challenging, but fair pin placements. The course was in perfect condition and this would have been challenging enough to maintain if this were a lightly played private country club course, but this is a very fairly priced, extremely well-played, busy public golf course in a desirable State Park setting. The golf course is itself nothing short of a real jewel that NYS should be proud to list among its finest State Park golf offerings. The golf course, as great and enjoyable as it was, is only part of the story. I believe the clubhouse and all of the amenities went through a significant remodeling project in 2015 or 2016 and the end result is a really nice bar and a well run restaurant that offers a terrific menu with great drinks and an awesome view of Green Lake from the veranda located at an elevated point maybe 150 to 200 feet above the lake itself. The renovations to the facility and all the surrounding amenities just added to the first rate dining and golf experience. The restaurant/bar concession is known as Yards Grill and it is exceptionally well run with great food and well made drinks and a sizable menu with a wide range of meal choices. This place speaks well to the old saying, that things just get better with age. It begins and ends with the commitment the NY State Parks and Recreation Department is making to have Green Lake State Park be an amazing destination and a truly great golf experience. That could not be reflected better than by the current PGA Professional Jeff Carson and the commitment of his entire dedicated team who operate and maintain this wonderful facility. I cannot give Green Lakes State Park Golf Course a stronger recommendation or a higher rating to anyone who loves to play golf. This place is a 10 on a 5 scale in my book and this rating is truly well-earned and richly deserved! You won't regret playing at Green Lakes State Park Golf Course and/or eating at Yards Grill.

How can you beat what you pay??? Awesome layout greatly maintained. Follow golfers fix your ball marks on greens!!!! Some of the worst etiquette I've ever encountered.
The best public golf course for the buck in CNY. Great conditions, phenomenal views, terrific staff. Can't wait to play the new green that will be open soon on #9. Always busy but never a problem with pace of play as my group is generally able to finish in 4 hours, even on a weekend.
Took a trip from Rochester, NY and what a gorgeous course, excellent conditioning, huge undulating greens. Great clubhouse and practice area. Huge elevation changes. Great variety. Must play in the area.
Fantastic course and one of the best in CNY -- was my original review, but this course is just TOO SLOW. The course is nice and impeccably maintained, but the people who run the course are semi-bullies and you can expect 9 holes to take at LEAST three hours. It's the slowest course I've ever played. The views are fine too, but that doesn't outweigh the head-splitting irritation of playing sooooo slowly.
This was my second trip to Green Lakes, the first was not great as it took 5 hours to play 12 holes before I threw in the towel. My last time around was much better, I went on a Monday morning and had no problem getting around the course. The greens and fairways were in great condition, the rough and sand traps were not in great condition but for the price of admission they were fine. The back 9 greens were brutal, they certainly tested my putting skills. This is a popular public course which is a great value but on a busy day expect it to play slow.
Awesome setting for the clubhouse and patio. Relaxing place to play, nice layout, challenging course, good greens, fair price. We’d definitely play here again if we were in the area.
I love this place. Beautiful rolling course, great rates, nice short game area, and friendly staff. Plus, there’s a restaurant on property!
Great course tucked in the State Park. Beautiful views, fun holes, and the booze cart is always cruising around.
Honestly I loved this golf course. I played terrible but it was so much fun. The fairways were hard to hit, greens hard to putt on, but it was so much fun.
