A central theme to the property’s ethos is the juxtaposition of the cultivated and the natural; The grounds at INNESS help to frame and shape a series of social hubs, designed to be comfortable in aesthetic and communal in function – but also boasts ample space for exploration and discovery. Led by landscape designer Miranda Brooks, the grounds artfully balance untamed growth with moments of manicured formality. The landscape is surprising and whimsical, yet tied to the indigenous flora of the Catskills.

Accessible to the public, members and hotel guests, the golf course at INNESS is a 9-hole course by renowned architects and builders King Collins Golf. Best known for creating Sweetens Cove in Tennessee, a course beloved by golfers of every skill level, King Collins is respected as a pioneer in creating more sustainable and eco-friendly design. King Collins is also regarded for infusing designs with architecturally significant elements from the past and incorporating them into modern layouts. This approach creates something that is challenging for better players but still fun for everyone.

With a flowing 9-hole layout, Inness's connecting fairways meet massive shared greens that highlight King Collins's unique approach to the design of the course. The deep bunkers with their natural brows are strategically placed to reward risk taking with a more favorable approach into Inness's expansive undulating greens. The distinctiveness of the layout and the greens add variety and amusement to each game.

The golf experience at Inness reflects a vision of how golf is evolving to be inclusive and unpretentious; walking is encouraged, keeping score and proper attire are optional, and having fun with your friends and family is central. Like the other activities at Inness, there’s an emphasis on being in nature and finding enjoyment in the simple pleasures.
