Wellesley Island State Park Golf Course
Wellesley Island golf course first opened for play in 1917. The course is part of the New York State Park system.
The "signature" hole would have to be #3, where a good drive will do nothing to save you from having to scale the 40' rock cliff upon which the green is balanced. The views from the tees on #'s 4 and 5 are simply awe-inspiring. On #5, you tee off from the top of a ledge to the green in a valley below.
The course is playable by both beginners and seasoned veterans of the game, and will force you to pull every club in your bag. #1 is the only par 5, while #4 and #5 are the only par 3's.
This 90-year-old 9-hole course, formerly known as the "Golf Links", offers rolling fairways and challenging approach shots through the valleys created by Thousand Islands pink granite outcroppings. The 9-holes may be played twice from different tees for an 18-hole round.
The 9-hole Wellesley Island State Park Golf Course plays to a par 35 and a maximum 9-hole distance of 2,730 yards.
