Golf in Glens Falls

In continuous operation since 1945, Murphy's Golf Range and Mini Golf hosts off-course clubbing with a driving range and mini-golf course set amid fragrant flowerbeds. Windmills whir above the 18-hole putter's circuit, where balls must circumvent whitewashed wagon wheels, squeeze between equestrian starting gates, and power through loopty-loops without succumbing to motion sickness. At the driving range, players can choose to hit off artificial-turf mats or separate grass hitting bays as they send Srixon range balls into the stratosphere, raining down on targets labeled with their yardages from the hitting gallery.

Golf courses are designed to compound players’ mistakes. An errant tee shot winds up buried in the rough, on a side-hill lie, or shut out behind a tree—where golfers may not be able to take a full swing, let alone concentrate on how to correct their mechanics. In golf, the driving range is the only safe haven. Saratoga Springs Golf Range’s all-grass hitting bays provide a smooth, flat surface that lets golfers concentrate on improving their swings and grants amnesty for past swing transgressions in the form of range balls and a course notary who expunges all mulligans from players’ official records.

Saratoga Springs Golf Range helps swings enter into a harmonious relationship with their sticks through custom club fitting, loft and lie adjustments, and regripping services. The range’s club technicians also offer various repair services for snapped club shafts and emotionally distraught drivers.
