By Sherwood Group
The Lake George area has a distinct country club map, with private lakefront tradition in Diamond Point, public golf near the Route 149 corridor, and established club culture on the Queensbury and Glens Falls side of the market. These clubs are spread across the south lake, the Adirondack foothills, and the residential streets that connect Lake George Village to Queensbury and beyond.
Here are the five local clubs that define golf and luxury real estate around Lake George.
Key Takeaways

Lake George Club
Lake George Club sits in Diamond Point on the western shore of the lake and brings one of the most established private-club identities in the region.
Why Lake George Club stands out
-
Diamond Point location: A prized setting along Lake Shore Drive with direct connection to the lake

Historic roots: The club dates to the early twentieth century and still carries that legacy

The setting feels especially relevant in real estate conversations where shoreline access, privacy, and long-term prestige matter.
Queensbury Country Club
Queensbury Country Club sits just outside Lake George Village along Route 149 and offers one of the most accessible public golf experiences in the area.
What makes Queensbury Country Club relevant
-
Route 149 access: Easy to reach from Lake George Village and the Queensbury side of the market
-
Public play: A more flexible option for regular golf without a private-club structure
-
Adirondack views: The course has a scenic setting between mountain ranges and wetlands
-
Local convenience: The location fits naturally into everyday movement around the south lake
Its location near Dunhams Bay and the southern gateway to the lake gives it a practical role in the wider golf landscape.
Hiland Park Country Club
Hiland Park Country Club in Queensbury brings a stronger championship-course profile and a larger event presence to the Lake George area.
The features that define Hiland Park

Championship layout: A larger-scale course with a reputation for competitive play
-
Event setting: A well-known venue for weddings and gatherings as well as golf

Top of the World Golf Resort
Top of the World Golf Resort sits high on French Mountain above Lake George and (though not a country club per se) offers one of the most dramatic playing settings in the area.
What sets Top of the World apart
-
French Mountain location: Elevated above the lake with broad Adirondack views
-
Resort format: Golf is tied directly to lodging, dining, and event space
-
18-hole course: A full mountain course with a player-friendly resort identity

FAQs
Which club feels most directly tied to Lake George itself?
Lake George Club is the clearest answer because of its Diamond Point address and direct relationship to the shoreline. It connects club life to the lake in a way that feels unusually specific to this market.
Are all of the top clubs private?
No, the area includes a mix of private, public, and resort-style options. That range gives the Lake George market more flexibility than a single-format club scene would.
Which clubs matter most on the Queensbury side?
Queensbury Country Club, Hiland Park Country Club, and Glens Falls Country Club all play important roles there. Each one adds a different layer, from public convenience to championship golf to private-club tradition.
