Suggestions on golf vacations in ON or NY

[jsttaylor]

I am looking for any info on golf trips in Ontario or New York. 8 of us have been going to Tremblant the last weekend in May/First weekend in June for the past 4 years and we are thinking of trying somewhere new. I have briefly looked at Malone but can't seem to find any "condos" for rent there. We like to stay somewhere we all can stay together and cook our own meals to cut down on cost and such. I am open to suggestions. Preferably no more than 2.5 hours drive. Any suggestions?

I haven't been there but I heard that Peek 'N' peak in Pennsylvannia is a great place as well. It's only about 3 1/2 hrs from Toronto. As far as Holiday valley in Ellicotteville, This will be our 4 th year ( 2 of us ), and we have no interest in changing venues. The 2 nines are completely different from each other. Front is flat with water hazards and the back goes up into the mountain and is a little tighter with mostly tree lined fairways and big elevation changes. We stay right on the course and they have a nice practice facility that is included in th package. And the beer in NY as we all know is cheap, even if it is a little watered down.

For the last 3 years we went to:

Boyne Mountain Michigan

A bit farther maybe that you wanted but great golf. We are back there in May. It is a 8 hour drive for us but it is well worth it.

Golf trips are always fun...
