Experience the Feel of a Full-Scale Golf Course at Lumberjack Pass

Ranking in at number 5 is the widely celebrated Lumberjack Pass, which offers an unparalleled experience that is as close as it comes to being on a full-scale course. To quote a snippet from the article:

"...the simple natural splendor of Lumberjack Pass in Lake George sets it apart from other courses on our list. This landscaped 18-holer describes itself as the closest thing to being on a full-scale golf course. It is set against a mountainous Adirondack backdrop amid flowing streams, waterfalls and real sand traps. Hand-carved wooden lumberjacks complement plush green plants and flowers, and water hazards can be found on every hole. At an acre in size, it is one of the bigger mini-golf courses to feature in our top ten."

Embark on an Epic Trip at Around the World Golf

Around The World and Around The USA feature holes designed to represent countries throughout the world and some states in America. The 40-year-old course includes European and Oriental themed holes, giving golfers something of a cultural and educational experience.
