Shenendoah Golf Club at Turning Stone

Shenendoah opened in 2000 as the first golf course at Turning Stone Resort Casino, the resort the Oneida Indian Nation owns and operates in Verona, in central New York. It was designed by Rick Smith, the teacher and course designer, as a wooded parkland layout, and its success launched one of the most ambitious resort golf programs in the Northeast. Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s Kaluhyat and Tom Fazio's Atunyote followed within a few years, giving the Nation three championship courses on a single property. Shenendoah hosted the 2006 PGA Professional Championship, the national championship for club professionals, and later served as a regular stop on the Golf Channel Amateur Tour from 2015 through 2019. In recent seasons the crew has re-grassed several out-of-play areas with native grasses such as little bluestem, softening the edges of the course and giving it a more natural look.
