However when we went to get a cart here the ladies were nothing but rude from the start, how can I drive my own car to the course and not drive a golf cart? I said we will go somewhere else because we never have this problem and they proceeded to say "ruin someone else's sport". The two ladies had no respect whatsoever. We have never been reckless to anyone or anything at a golf course and go for the pure enjoyment. Not to mention my boyfriend has driven a cart there when someone else was at the desk and was given no problem.

Now the other side / the regular 18 hole course looked nice and was very very busy at a around 9am was packed , which is nothing new honestly in my opinion, lol. I've been at or around other courses that had an 18 hole course then also an extra 9 hole course around or on the other side ,, very nice.. good price and value even for the ( 9 west ) course. I'm sure the regular 18 is also nice.. maybe next time I'll get to it , unfortunately no pics. I didnt even think about it while was playing

It's nice that while the rest of us are paying $8 just to visit the beautiful lake the rich and upper-middle-class golfers get to do their thing just outside the pay section of the park. How convenient. Still it's a beautiful Golf Course. A shame that a big chunk of such a beautiful area was devoted to a golf course, but welcome to the human race. They are very eager to tell you that Robert Jones designed it. I'm glad it's such a well-designed and beloved course, because it's in one of the most naturally beautiful areas for a golf course anywhere. Anyway, the Golf Course itself is a 4-star course, with 3-star prices, and it averages out to 3 because I don't like that they take up a decent-sized chunk of this expensive national park, which everyone else has to pay to explore. But that's just me.

To Those Committed to Great Golf Experiences:…read more 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. When we arrived at 12:20 PM a cancellation had just occurred and the PGA Professional Jeff Carson was kind enough to let us take the open time at 12:30 PM. His offer was much appreciated since we drove 2 hours and 20 minutes one-way from the Albany area and planned to return after golfing. The park and the grounds in the area of the golf course are 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. The one thing I would like to stress and add to this review is that this kind of experience doesn't just happen by accident. It begins and ends with the commitment the NY State Parks 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. Even on what had to be one of their busiest days, they operate a golf facility in a manner that is professional, friendly, kind, considerate, and truly customer service focused and oriented and from what we experienced and saw while we were there, that approach applies whether you are golfing there on a regular daily basis or just visiting on an occasional trip like we did. Kudos to Jeff Carson, the PGA Professional, and all involved with his team and thank you for a truly great golfing experience that stands out and will be memorable for a long time in the future. 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. Thanks so much! Jim Dombrowski Delmar, New York

That doesn't mean it's the best around or that it's high end. It just means that I prefer it over a lot of other courses. My reasoning for this is based off of a few things. Please read on to understand why I live it but it's not five stars 1. The location from where I live is just wonderful. If I am on my way home from work and I have some free time it's only a mile away. 2. $10 to walk. Need I say more. 3. It's short. By that I mean I can get the front nine done in about an hour. 4. Confidence. Again it's short. If you want to feel good about your game early in the season then play here. The first three holes are par 4's that you can reach the green in one. 5. Practice. A lot of times it's not packed with people so if you want to play extra shots to get some practice in you can. 6. Hazards. There is not a lot to scare you. No water minimal tree obstacles and no sand.(also a negative) 7. Low scores. This goes right back to confidence. You can shoot low scores and it feels good. Now the negatives. If you have read this far you will already know the knocks on this place. I will list them quickly below. 1. Hazards. If you want a challenge find another course. 2. Club house. Nothing to brag about here. 3. Amenities. This is not a fancy place and it doesn't offer a lot. It has what you need to play golf and that to me is perfect. 4. Dry. When the weather gets dry this place gets brown. No pounds to draw from or rivers to pump out of makes it hard to water. 5. Getting to the back nine. To cross the road to the back nine can be a challenge and dangerous. Don't play at 5 pm. Again I love this course but I have to be honest about it. There is a lot to like but it lacks a lot that some might need. I for one am simple when it comes to golf. Give me a course, my clubs and someone to play with. Maybe a beer or two also. If you want a great place to play and you only have a little time stop in and play nine.
