Oct 03, 2024

LOOKS A LITTLE BIT LIKE HEAVEN… For a world-class golfing experience in the heart of upstate New York, look no further than Turning Stone Golf Resort. This luxurious resort boasts three 18 hole championship golf courses, each designed by a renowned architect and offering its own unique challenges and rewards.

Atunyote, designed by Tom Fazio, is a true test of skill and precision. This par-72 course features rolling hills, dense forests, and challenging water hazards, making it a favorite among experienced golfers. Kaluhyat, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., is a more rugged and natural course, with steep elevation changes, dense rough, and narrow fairways. Shenendoah, designed by Rick Smith, is a scenic and challenging course that winds through the stunning foothills of the Adirondacks. Turning Stone Golf Resort offers much more than just exceptional golfing opportunities. The resort features a full-service spa, multiple dining options, and an array of entertainment options, including concerts and comedy shows. Don’t forget about that casino baby! Put all your chips on the line and have a chance at winning an all expenses paid trip to Turning Stone 😅

Highlight Hole

Hole #16 on Kaluhyat

Hole #16: 431 Yard Par-4. One of the best holes on the entire resort. This is a downhill par 4 which requires you to be dialed in. It’s like Robert Trent Jones Jr. is personally challenging you to play the best hole of your life. It’s recommended that you take a long iron or a wood off the tee and let the fairway funnel you down towards the hole. Deep rough crosses the fairway around the 220 yard mark, so you’ll want to hit something that rolls out around 195-210 yards. The approach shot is difficult. It requires a downhill shot from around 200+ yards out to a green surrounded by 3 large bunkers. The green has trees to the left and marshland and swamp to the right. Not a very easy hole but certainly enjoyable for you and the group!
