Thanks for those pictures, Ron. Brings back fond memories of several rounds at Tupper Lake in the late 1980's and early 1990s. I knew nothing about golf course architecture (and, very little now) but I always enjoyed the experience of Tupper Lake. There are some holes that are burned into my memory bank, though I can't remember their number. A par 3 on the front with a green sitting on a shelf that prevented any kind of run-up shot. Some neat par 4's on the front, with Big Tupper ski area in the background, and almost always, a herd of deer moseying across the fairway. #10 was a demanding (for me) par 4, with a major raving in front of the green.
A prototypic Adirondack setting. Mostly covered boulders lurking on the fairways that created exciting and unpredictable bounces on fairway shots.
Loved it. Had only a faint understanding that some guy named Ross designed it. That's what they claimed, and who was I to challenge that. I don't recall ever thinking that it was a great course, but I enjoyed it enough to return as a stopping off point between Thendara and Lake Placiid.
