The Saratoga race season<\/a> starts this year on July 14 and runs for seven weeks ending September 5. Horse racing and golf go perfectly together in this Upstate region in the lower Adirondack foothills. Consequentially, finding the best public golf courses in Saratoga Springs is essential to making the most out of your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, Saratoga National<\/a> might be the feature golf attraction in the area. It’s on the north side of Lake Lonely and if you only have time for one game, this is it. Saratoga Spa Golf Course<\/a> is a full 18 hole layout and a 9-hole executive course in the state park<\/a> just south of town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Saratoga Lake Golf Course<\/a> on the south side of Saratoga Lake is a challenging layout where every hole seemingly plays uphill!<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

McGregor Links<\/a> was designed by Devereaux Emmet who apprenticed under C.B. Macdonald and designed over 150 courses in the early 1900s. It’s a more reasonable alternative to the higher end courses in the area and certainly a classic. Ballston Spa<\/a> is another classic on the south side of town<\/a> carved through the woods with Gordon Creek slicing through the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airways Meadows<\/a> is between Saratoga Springs and Glen Falls. There’s a bit of entertainment when playing Airways as there’s a general aviation airport in the middle of the course. In addition to the occasional Cessna taking off or landing there’s also a skydiving center!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Finally, there’s the Fairways of Halfmoon<\/a> located southeast of Saratoga Springs on the west side of the Hudson River. It’s a bit more recent design partially routed through a residential community along broad and narrow fairways over rolling topography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
