Turning Stone Resort Casino (Verona, New York)
When it comes to finding value, it’s tough to beat Turning Stone Resort Casino located in Northern New York about half an hour from Syracuse. This resort has it all including a massive casino, sports book, a wonderful variety of dining venues, nightlife options, and even great comedy acts and concerts. There’s so much to see and do here, but the real star of the show is the golf. The resort features three world-class 18-hole layouts with the Tom Fazio masterpiece of Atunyote, the Robert Trent Jones, Jr. gem known as Kaluhyat, and the Rick Smith classic Shenendoah course.  There are also two fun 9-hole courses including the par-36 Pleasant Knolls, and Sandstone Hollow which is a Rick Smith designed par-3 course.
If you’re looking for a great deal, then we suggest you take a look at their Champions Package. This package includes:
- 18 holes on Atunyote, Kaluhyat, and Shenendoah
- Two-night stay at The Brook, The Tower, or The Lodge
- $50 same-day replay rates on Shenendoah and Kaluhyat, or $135 on Atunyote

We’ve never sent a group to this resort that didn’t rave about their experience after their trip, so it’s certainly worth looking at for your next golf getaway adventure.
