The Ticonderoga golf course is perfect for players of all skill levels. It is a public and fun course to play. The course also presents a fun challenge with the meandering Trout Brook that comes into play on seven of the eighteen holes. During the round players enjoy scenic mountains that rise above the course on both sides.
