LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (June 1, 2007) — Tell a local that you\'re going to play Whiteface Club Golf Course and they\'ll let you know how much better shape it\'s in these days. This doesn\'t just come from one or two people either. Everyone you talk to echoes the same theme.
It\'s like you\'ve stumbled upon a golf course version of a community weight loss project. Subway Jared, meet Whiteface. Oh, we\'re so proud of them!
J. Peter Martin, the longtime head professional at Whiteface, is frank about the transformation.
\"They\'ve dressed up the queen the way she should be dressed,\" Martin said. \"Regally.\"
For a first-time Lake Placid visitor, the end result is all that matters. Back stories are nice, but it\'s the back stretch that\'s likely to win Whiteface fans. This is one entertaining closing run of golf, one that can redefine your round in a hurry.
Posting a good score on the first 13 holes at Whiteface ain\'t no thing. Four of the top five handicap-rated holes are in the last five holes. It\'s almost as if course architect John VanKleek and consultant/legend Walter Hagen decided that all the danger should be crammed into the finish when they redesigned and lengthened Whiteface in 1930.
Even the \"easy\" hole in the last five is ninth-rated handicap hole on the entire course (No. 16).
