Sagamore Resort & Golf Club

Sagamore Resort & Golf Club’s course occupies Federal Hill above Bolton Landing, a few miles west of the hotel’s Green Island complex on Lake George. The hilltop site sets a parkland-mountain character: tight corridors framed by hardwoods, constant grade changes on a glacial shoulder, and long glimpses toward the lake from exposed tees. The resort operates the club for guests and limited outside play; facilities include a 1928-style clubhouse, a practice range of modest length, and a large putting green. Today the course plays as a par 70 in the 6,800-yard range from the back tees, emphasizing positional tee shots into perched green pads rather than sheer length. The first-time visitor encounters narrow landing areas, deep-faced bunkers guarding canted targets, and a routing that uses the natural shoulder of Federal Hill to alternate uphill and downhill shot values; the experience remains distinctly “of the hill” rather than lakeshore resort golf. The resort promotes the course as a Ross original opened in the late 1920s and emphasizes that the routing and many green sites still channel that origin despite later renovations and periodic reconditioning programs that modernized infrastructure and presentation.
