About Thousand Islands Country Club-Old Course
Built in 1894, the Old Course at Thousand Islands Country Club ranks among the oldest golf courses in the United States. Its distinctive layout offers views of both the St. Lawrence River and the Lake of the Isles.
The club's Lake Course winds through the historic gondola canals associated with Boldt Castle. Water comes into play frequently, testing accuracy while remaining manageable for higher-handicap golfers.
