Lake Placid, Adirondacks USA - The pristine, scenic fairways of the Lake Placid region golf courses have emerged from the protective blanket of snow to welcome the spring golf season.

Lake Placid itself offers 81 holes of golf, including the classic Craig Wood Golf Course, the tree-lined Whiteface Club, and Lake Placid Club's signature Links course, Mountain Course and the popular Pristine Nine. Add to this nearby championship layouts at the Saranac Inn Golf & Country Club and the Westport Country Club on Lake Champlain, plus a number of other regional courses - 14 in all - for a whole season's worth of play.

The dichotomy of the spectacular Adirondack scenery that surrounds the area's challenging layouts makes it difficult for golfers to keep their heads down, as the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Adirondack High Peaks makes play on these historic courses an even bigger, yet exciting test.

Aside from the breathtaking views, the Lake Placid area courses are also historic. In fact, Craig Wood Golf Course, designed in 1925, is the youngest, followed by the Lake Placid Club Links course, which has been around since 1909. These complement the century-old layouts at the Whiteface Club, the Lake Placid Club's Mountain Course, and the Saranac Inn Golf and Country Club.

Of course, apres-golf and family fun activities for the non-golfing family member abound as well, including hiking, biking, paddling, historic sites, natural wonders, a wide range of dining and alpine streets lined with shopping prospects - to name just a few.

Tremendous early season golf and stay packages are available now; with amazing value-added options from mid-week pricing to unlimited golf.
