A Guide to New York Public Golf Courses

Is there anything you can't do in New York? After enjoying the vibrant buzz of the big city, many locals and visitors desire a break from the hustle and bustle. One of the best ways to kick back and relax is by playing a few rounds of golf. There are a staggering variety of New York public golf courses to choose from in this beautiful northern state. Here are a few great choices:

The first course on our list is found at the Lake Shore Country Club in Rochester. Even though this is a country club, the course is public and open to anyone. Here you will find an 18 hole Championship golf course as well as a 9 hole Executive course perfect for the busy professional who needs a break from the corporate grind. Lake Shore also offers golf instruction, junior golf programs, a fine restaurant and bar, a fabulous pro shop and much more. Now, let's move on to a course located in scenic Spencerport.

Buttonwood Golf Course in Spencerport is the only par 3, 18 hole course in the area. This course is challenging yet appropriate for all golfers. Beginners and advanced golfers can enjoy the gorgeous course which features natural scenery like creeks, ponds and trees. Everyone from the junior golfer to the senior golfer will love this picturesque course located close to Rochester. You'll love the rustic clubhouse, a perfect place to rest and have delicious refreshments. There are also outdoor sitting areas where you can be among the beauty of colorful wildflowers and rolling green meadows.

In Manorville is the Swan Lake Golf Club. At Swan Lake there is a 18 hole, par 72 course that is a pleasure for golfers of all skill levels. Greens fees here are quite affordable, making this the perfect course for the hobbyist golfer on a budget. The expanse of green grass offset by the sparkling water makes Swan Lake a delight to play. If you're in the Syracuse area, you must check out Tecumseh Golf Club. This 9 hole public course is close to Syracuse University and ideal for anyone who wants to play a little golf in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.

New York public golf courses are the perfect way to get back to nature and get some fresh air. While this state is most famous for the energetic hub that is New York City, the golf courses and clubs in other parts of the state are not to be missed. This is another of the many reasons why New York is a great place to visit or reside!
