Lake Placid has a unique golf history, with the first course being built in 1898. Many of the courses were designed by well-known architects such as John Van Kleek, Seymour Dunn, Alexander H. Findlay, and Alister MacKenzie. Please join us as we take a peek into the past and learn about golf in Lake Placid.
