Saratoga has more to offer than gorgeous scenery and the Saratoga racetrack. Saratoga Springs is easily a golfer's paradise. With over a dozen golf courses nearby there are greens to suit every level of play. Come enjoy the beauty that Saratoga Springs offers and practice your golf swing.

To avoid any disappointment call ahead before heading out for the day. Some of the golf courses in the area are private and for members only. Others full up quickly as the tourist population in Saratoga Springs swells during track season (roughly from mid-July until Labor Day).
