History

Craig Wood Golf Course is a beautiful, par 72 course that spans 6,554 yards in the Adirondack countryside. Owned and operated by the town of North Elba, this is one of the finest courses in the Lake Placid golf community.

It is often said that a course can be judged on the number of memorable holes that it contains. Craig Wood Golf Club features more than its share of challenging holes that will leave a lasting impression on players. Take for example the 18th hole, which forces golfers to strike a precise drive over a ravine that is guarded by trees and the rough on the left and out of bounds to the right. It is the perfect finish to this Lake Placid golf course.

The Adirondack Mountains and their unique, inspirational scenery surrounded the course, which carves its way through the Adirondacks. Designed in 1925 by Seymour Wood, this course has served as the focal point for Lake Placid golf for generations. With a strong dedication to maintaining tradition yet upgrading as needed, Craig Wood Golf Club will continue to attract players from across the world.
