The Championship Course is one of the premier public courses in the Saratoga-Capital Region of New York State, and a consistent recipient of 4 Stars from Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play. The original holes were opened in 1936. In the late 1950s golf course architect William Mitchell was brought in, and designed the course we all enjoy today. Shortly thereafter, Arnold Palmer & Gary Player played a commemorative round to celebrate the course reopening. Set in a pine forest, the course derives much of its character from the majestic pines that frame several holes, creating a feeling of seclusion. In addition to our Championship Course, we also have a 9-Hole Par 3 course, a full grass tee driving range, and Catherine's in the Park Restaurant that overlooks the beautiful Victoria Pool.

Here’s What You Get: • 🎸 Live Music that kicks like a drum solo at Wembley • 🎤 Storytelling that hits the heart (and the funny bone) • 🎶 3-Part Harmony Choir — no singing skills required, just good vibes • 🤘 Audience Improv — spontaneous, unforgettable, and never awkward • 📝 Custom Song Creation that ties your event together with a chorus your team will hum all the way home Perfect for: • 🚀 Launching big ideas • 🔋 Energizing the middle of a long agenda • 🎉 Ending on a high that actually gets remembered We’ve done this with 10 people. We’ve done it with 2,500. Either way, we bring the same stadium-worthy energy. We’re fronted by Grammy-nominated INXS frontman Ciaran Gribbin, backed by world-class musicians, and powered by pure rock ‘n roll spirit. This isn’t “team building.” It’s a shared experience that gives your people goosebumps, grins, and genuine connection. Ready to shake things up? Let’s talk. "Best Team Building I've ever booked.
