Golf by the Bushel Basket : New York course is Best New Bargain - Orchard Creek Golf Club - Brief Article
Orchard Creek’s architect was Paul Cowley, who normally designs courses for Davis Love III but returned to his hometown of Altamont to transform an orchard owned by his old buddies, the Abbruzzese brothers (Danny, John, Jimmy and Joe).
McIntosh apples are found on most of the course, but the Empires along the third and Jonagolds beside the eighth are even tastier, one player told us as he stuffed what seemed like a bushel into his golf bag. A course ranger passing by didn’t seem to mind the harvesting, and that clinched it for us: Orchard Creek is the apple of our frugal eye.
