Glens Falls Country Club

Set between the southern Adirondacks and the Green Mountains in Queensbury, Glens Falls Country Club occupies a secluded valley wrapped around Round Pond. It is a private, member-owned club whose centerpiece is an 18-hole Donald Ross course noted for emphatic landforms, short green-to-tee walks, and a dramatic par-3 finisher beside the clubhouse terrace. The club operates year-round amenities around its hilltop clubhouse—dining rooms, patio, and event spaces—with practice provisions that include a driving range, putting and chipping areas. The grounds carry Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary certification, and the setting still reads as “true Adirondack splendor,” with long views reinstated in recent years by selective tree removal. From the back tees the course stretches to roughly 6,450 yards at par 71, but the experience is defined less by length than by the way Ross’s greens, ridges, and fall-away approaches demand precise trajectories. Membership is private; the course is not open to public play, although it periodically serves as a host for state competitions and USGA qualifiers.
