Lake
Placid, NY – May 2024 / NewsmakerAlert: Thanks to the work that was
done in the fall, the Whiteface
Club and Resort Golf Course in Lake Placid has once again emerged from
the snow and ice of winter in extraordinary condition and will welcome
players for the 2024 season starting Thursday, May 9.
PGA
Club Professional Perry
Babcock will officially begin play at 10 AM with the ceremonial opening
shot from the first tee.
“We’re
looking forward to seeing many familiar faces right from the start of the
season,” said Babcock. “Club residents, members and visitors will find
a course that came through the winter in great shape, and will only get
better as the season rolls along.”
The
Adirondack Mountain layout was listed among the top 10 places for fall
golf by USA TODAY 10Best.
The
classic par 71 track in Upstate New York, designed by John Van Kleek and
Walter Hagen, is carved through the Adirondack pine. Measuring from 5,000
to 6,400 yards, it challenges men and women of all abilities with elevation
changes, tight fairways and undulating greens. But there are some scoring
holes, as witnessed by the seven aces registered last year on three of
the four par three holes. In addition, the final three holes – a short
par four and two par fives|–|provide
opportunities to gain on your opponents.

and his welcoming staff will take tee times by calling 518-523-PUTT. They
offer private lessons, as well as clinics for women and juniors. This season,
the Whiteface Club will add its course to the growing number of golf facilities
around the nation offering the PGA Junior League for ages 4 to 13. This
is team golf for youngsters. Call the shop to register your aspiring tour
pro.
Players
may walk or ride anytime. The Whiteface Club has expanded its luxury line
of comfortable and smooth-riding Yamaha golf carts that feature USB ports,
roofs and windshields. Seasonal rates are available for frequent players.
When
the round is over, you can settle the bets inside or outside by stepping
off the 18th green and strolling into the Café
on the Green. The café, available Wednesday to Sunday until
5 PM, has already opened for the season with a menu of golfers’ favorites.
The Classic Reuben, the Kobe Burger and the all-American favorite BLT are
among the many and varied selections, accompanied by regional craft beers.
To
step up one’s culinary selections, be sure to make a reservation at The
Moose Lodge Boathouse on Lake Placid which began welcoming diners on May
3, its earliest opening. Literally overlooking Lake Placid lake, the menu
includes Bourbon Salmon, Baby Back Ribs and Sirloin Steak Anticucho. Moose
Lodge also boasts Lake Placid’s largest Single Malt Scotch collection.
Moose Lodge, to start the season, will offer dinner Friday through Sunday
nights.
Executive
Chef Jonathan Studley, who joined the Whiteface Club team 18 months ago,
will provide dining experiences for players and members in his second season.
Since his arrival, Studley, whose impressive resume includes national and
international establishments, has reimagined the menus and his staff. They
were unveiled last weekend in both eateries.
“Hungry
golfers and discerning diners will love the diverse selections that are
planned for the two restaurants,” stated Chef Studley. “Golfers will enjoy
the vibe at the café, while our lakeside patrons at Moose Lodge
will immerse themselves in an upscale setting befitting the menu. They
can dine al fresco on the beach, on the decks, on the “Captain’s Table”
on the docks, or enjoy the experience of the boathouse’s indoor facilities.”
“We’ve
been anxiously awaiting the start of the summer season and now it’s here,”
added Mark
Sperling, CEO of the Whiteface Companies. “We look forward to seeing
many familiar faces, both homeowners and resort friends and guests, across
the breadth of the Whiteface Club property. With the help of our caring
and professional staff, we anticipate a fabulous summer and fall season.”
The
Whiteface
Club and Resort is sister property to the AAA Four Diamond Mirror Lake
Inn Resort and Spa. The two luxury properties are separated by just three
miles.
Guests
of the Mirror Lake Inn can take advantage of the hotel’s luxe golf package.
