Three Tracks, One Resort: A Turning Stone Golf Trip
Three championship courses at one Central New York resort.
Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York, offers three public courses on one property: Atunyote, Kaluhyat and Shenendoah. It is an easy stay-and-play weekend between Syracuse and Utica.
Turning Stone is a self-contained resort, with golf, dining, a casino, and spa within a few miles. Atunyote is the flagship; Kaluhyat and Shenendoah are slightly cheaper.
The courses are within about three miles of each other, so driving is nearly nonexistent.
