The Turning Stone resort in Verona, N.Y. announced that it has set a new record for the number of guests experiencing its golf courses, seeing a nearly 50% increase in golfers visiting in 2021, with 45% more golfers booking overnight visits and traveling from 41 different states.
Breaking down the numbers further, the resort reported that visits from golfers in mid-Atlantic state (Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia) tripled, while visits from Tri-State golfers (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) and those from the Southeast U.S. doubled.
“The massive increase we experienced in guests coming from around the county to our region to play golf is more than just a one-year anomaly,” said Oneida Indian Nation Representative and Oneida Nation Enterprises CEO Ray Halbritter. “We have learned from decades of experience that after visiting Upstate New York and seeing everything our region has to offer, guests return year after year.
“Golf has been a catalyst for transforming Turning Stone into the world-class destination resort it is today and has played an integral role in bringing visitors from all around the world to the region,” Halbritter added.
“Our record-breaking golf season is an outstanding accomplishment for our employees and regional partners who are all dedicated to ensuring our region is a top golf and tourist destination,” said Director of Golf and Recreation Miles Blundell. “Many of our new guests have already rebooked golf trips for next year.
“Once they visited Turning Stone and saw all of the remarkable recreational activities in our region, guests knew they no longer needed to travel west or overseas to have an exceptional golf experience,” Blundell added.
