About Saratoga Spa Golf Course
Saratoga Spa is the state park's championship course, set in a pine forest where tall pines frame several holes and give the round a secluded feel. From the blue tees it's over 7,000 yards, with three water hazards. There's also a par-29 executive nine next door, which makes 27 holes in all. The ground is flat: the map survey shows only about 26 feet of elevation change across the property, with about 51 bunkers. Course character from OpenStreetMap contributors' survey data.
The first holes opened in 1936. In the late 1950s the state brought in William Mitchell, who designed the course you play today, and Arnold Palmer and Gary Player played a commemorative round when it reopened. It hosted the 1999 East Region Club Professional Championship.
It's one of 2 courses in Saratoga Springs on Yoink, and Saratoga Lake Golf Club is practically next door — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
