About Shawangunk
Tourists — especially climbers — love Shawangunk and its mountain ridge for the beautiful quartz landscape dotted with rare plant species.
Located near Plattekill, Turtle Creek's nine-hole par-34 layout is an ideal, 2,643-yard course for golfers looking to perfect their short game. This parkland course setting, built in the mid-1990s, is dotted with picturesque waterfalls, ponds, enviable gardens and on-course sculptures. Aside from the beauty and mountain views, Turtle Creek presents risks: dog-legged fairways, elevated terrain and water hazards. A smart layup is required to reach the 455-yard par-5 third hole over the creek. The signature par-3 seventh hole sits across a lake 160 yards away. Tee times are preferred. Lodging is available on site.
Features: practice green, carts, clubhouse/pro shop, lessons, junior clinics, dining and bar, golf packages, group packages, group outings and senior and junior discounts.
Posh hotels, retro-inspired inns, tricked-out cabins and cozy B&Bs are just some of the lodging options.
