Malone Golf Club - East Course

Set on the north edge of New York’s Adirondack foothills in Malone, Lake Country, Malone Golf Club operates today as a public/daily-fee facility with a robust membership program and two 18-hole courses, East (par 72) and West (par 71). Visitors encounter a full-service clubhouse and grill, a pro shop, published daily-play rates and memberships, and online tee times open to non-members—clear signals that the club welcomes traveling golfers as well as locals. The East Course’s front nine—credited by the club to Donald Ross with Willard G. Wilkinson in the 1930s—presents the classic portion of the 36, while the back nine and the entire West Course reflect Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s 1987 expansion, with dramatic elevation drops and spring-fed ponds. The East’s front nine has long been the club’s architectural calling card. Club materials quote a 1991 GolfWeek assessment naming it the “Best Pure Classic Nine,” highlighting a “fabulous Redan,” a short par-five with roller-coaster ground, and “pure-links style” bunkering—features that still frame the playing experience. Modern yardages list the East at about 6,545 yards (blue tees), par 72; the West typically plays in the mid-6,500s at par 71.
