On a recent afternoon, Whitney Russell and his crew were rushing to get a roof on a new patio addition to the Sunnyside Par 3 golf course and restaurant in Queensbury, part of\u00a0 <\/span>a major upgrade to\u00a0 <\/span>the facility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When completed, the 16×66-foot patio, overlooking the golf course, will provide space for food, drinks, and occasional music.<\/p>\n

A new post and beam building will also be added to the existing building. It will house five golf simulators and a new gift shop. Russell expects the simulators to encourage golfers to work on their game year-round.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGolf is a seasonal sport, that\u2019s why they invented simulators,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The plan is to have them up and running, in the new building, by Sept. 1. Russell purchased them from the Glens Falls office of About Golf, a national company. The manufacturers will also do the installation.<\/p>\n

Russell and his son Garrett, who is the general manager, bought the business in 2019 and undertook major internal renovations before opening.\u00a0 <\/span>The Par 3 (nine holes) golf course has been in business since the 1940s, open mainly during the warm weather months. The Russells plan a year-round facility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They are also installing lights so that the course can be used from sun-up until 10:30 p.m.\u00a0 <\/span>Late players will still be able to get a drink on the new patio afterward but food service is scheduled to end at 8:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>Other changes include moving the first tee and constructing a new ninth green. Russell estimated the entire investment, so far, is about\u00a0 <\/span>$700,000.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The nine-hole set up makes for a shorter game than on an 18-hole course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith everybody on crunch time, they can play in an hour,\u201d Russell said. They can also come any time, no reservations needed. People can see nearly the entire course from the new patio and\u00a0 <\/span>three or four holes from the first tee, so Russell can direct players to begin their game on an uncrowded part of the course when there is a traffic jam at the first tee..<\/p>\n

The club has about 100 members, Russell said, but it is open to the public as well. There are about 14 employees.<\/p>\n

Russell and his son Garrett are also partners in a reclaimed lumber business. Another son, Tyler, and his wife, are partners with Russell in Rocket Recycling, a bottle redemption business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The golf course is located at 170 Sunnyside Road in Queensbury. The telephone number is 518-792-0148.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
