New York’s Golf Gems Shine in 2025 Rankings
When we think of golf, many people might first picture sunny, sprawling courses in warmer climates. But don’t let the seasonal snow cover fool you; New York is home to some stunning golf courses that truly deserve the spotlight! Recently, the highly regarded golf publication released its 2025 rankings, highlighting three magnificent courses from upstate New York that made it into the national top charts.
A Grand Overview of the Rankings
So, how do these rankings work? They take into account the opinions of over 800 avid golfers from around the globe, evaluating the top 200 resort and residential golf courses. Each course is assessed based on ten different criteria including *land plan, tree and landscape management, routing,* and of course, the overall appeal of the course.
Atunyote: A Hidden Treasure in Verona
First up on the list is Atunyote, nestled in Verona, which skillfully ties for the No. 98 spot in the resort ranking, boasting an average rating of 6.42. Designed by the renowned architect Tom Fazio, this course opened its fairways to the public in 2004 and has gained quite the reputation since then. Atunyote isn’t just pretty to look at; it has also hosted significant events like the PGA Professional National Championship and the BC Open back in 2006.
As you meander through its expansive open spaces, you’ll notice the rolling hills, small waterfalls, and picturesque lakes that create an inviting atmosphere for both seasoned players and newcomers alike. It’s not just a round of golf; it’s an experience!
The Sagamore: Golfing with a View
Next in line is The Sagamore, perched in Bolton Landing, which shares the No. 124 ranking in the resort category with an average rating of 6.25. This gem has been drawing in crowds since its inception back in 1928, thanks to the exceptional design by Donald Ross. The Sagamore is known for its narrow fairways and undulating greens, making it a fun challenge for golfers of all skills.
While swinging your clubs, don’t forget to take a moment to soak in the breathtaking views of Lake George and the majestic Adirondacks. The scenery itself can inspire even the most lackluster golfer to put in their best performance.
Silo Ridge Field Club: A Modern Marvel
Lastly, we have the modern wonder, Silo Ridge Field Club in Amenia, which has made a splash with its notable performance in the 2025 residential rankings. Tying for No. 42, this stunning course with an average rating of 6.93, also showcases the work of Tom Fazio.
