McGregor Links is a golf club located just outside Saratoga Springs, New York in the town of Wilton. As of 2015, McGregor is the fifth-largest course in the Capital District.[2] The course is semi-private; it is open to the public every day but Tuesday and Thursday.[3]
McGregor Links "has been the site of seven New York State Amateur Golf Championships and two US Open local qualifiers." It is "the home course of Skidmore College's golf team."[3]
The course was built in 1921 by local notable Edgar T. Brackett, who "instructed the architects to build to perfection.[4]" It was designed by Devereux Emmet, a prolific designer responsible for more than 150 courses, including the Blue course at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland
