Tupper Lake Golf Club

Tupper Lake Golf Club occupies a hillside shelf on the lower slopes of Mount Morris above the village of Tupper Lake in New York’s central Adirondacks. The public course operates out of a modest clubhouse with a full-service bar/restaurant and pro shop; practice amenities include a driving range and a practice green. The routing is compact and walkable, yet it feels expansive because fairways pitch across the mountain and turn through mixed hardwoods and pines, with occasional glimpses of Big Tupper Lake. Golfers today encounter an 18-hole, par-71 course that tips out around 6,150 yards, with the closing hole a short par 3 played in to the terrace below the clubhouse. Conditioning emphasizes bentgrass greens and generally firm approaches for the region, and the principal defense remains the contours of the small, often “crowned” targets rather than penal water hazards. The club is a local fixture in regional competitive calendars: its long-running Tupper Lake Open Pro-Am dates back more than seventy years and has drawn notable professionals, including past champion Lee Elder. Daily-fee access and seasonal leagues make the place as much a community parkland as a tourist stop on the Adirondack golf trail.
