Owned and operated by the Oneida Indian Nation (OIN) in Verona, New York, just 40 minutes from the Syracuse airport is the TURNING STONE RESORT & CASINO, a 3400-acre Forbes Four-Star and AAA Four-Diamond property. The SFGA has had some very nice experiences in recent years with events held at casino properties and this destination promises another. A few SFGA members may recall that the SFGA held at trip to Turning Stone in 2018. We have always wanted to return and now there are more reasons than ever. Beginning in June of 2026, the resort will open an brand new hotel and conference center on site and the SFGA will be there for 4 rounds over 6 nights in the deluxe Crescent Suites of the new Crescent Hotel. When you are not spending time in your luxury suite, you will enjoy 4 fantastic rounds of golf played over our 7 day – 6 night stay.
You will be treated to (2) rounds of play on the championship level, Atunyote Course, home to the PGA Tour’s Turning Stone Resort Championship from 2007 to 2010. Designed by Tom Fazio in 2004, Atunyote (the Oneida word for “Eagle”) features gently rolling hills, small waterfalls and tree-lined fairways. The other (2) courses at the resort, Kaluhyat (Robert Trent Jones Jr.) and Shenendoah (Rick Smith) round out a star studded lineup that is hard to find in one location.
When you have completed your round, allow yourself to be pampered at the Áhsi’ Day Spa, focusing on the awakening of mind, body and spirit. The indoor Sports-plex at Turning Stone, features 17,000 square feet of short-game area and 36 Trackman enabled hitting stations for resort guests, and includes three greens, two bunkers, a fairway, rough, and elevation changes of almost eight feet to perfect every part of your game. This SFGA trip will take place during the summer month of July, which in upstate NY can be a pleasant relief from the heat of the southern states. Best of all, the SFGA trip will not require the use of rental cars as all transfers to/from the Syracuse Airport and to each round of golf are included in the trip. See you there.
Accommodations
Turning Stone Resort’s Crescent Hotel:
Situated in Upstate New York, halfway between Albany and Rochester, Turning Stone has it all, it’s a massive resort that boasts four hotels, two 3-star hotels called the Inn and the Hotel and two 4-star hotels called the Tower and the Lodge. The new Crescent Hotel scheduled to open later in 2026 will feature 258 upscale rooms and suites, a private entrance, and seamless indoor connections to the restaurants, gaming floor and event venues. Its highlight is Salt Seafood & Raw Bar, a new culinary concept by Turning Stone’s award-winning chefs, known for their Forbes Four Star recognition. Located on the hotel’s seventh floor, the restaurant will showcase panoramic views, private dining options, and heated outdoor terraces designed for three-season use. Our Sun and Fun Participants will stay in spacious Junior Suites.
There’s something for everyone at Turning Stone. The resort features a 120,000-square-foot casino that’s stocked with table games, gaming machines, a poker room and Oneida Indian High Stakes Bingo. Of course, if you prefer to be active somewhere other than the blackjack table, hit one of the three championship golf courses (or the nine-hole courses, if you’re looking for a quick round). The Sportsplex offers eight tennis courts (four outdoor and four indoor) and two racquetball courts, while the Golf Dome allows you to practice your swing inside. Gastronomes will have a field day at the 19 restaurants and convenience foods locations. The Lodge is home to the fine-dining Wildflowers, and the other 18 are just a quick walk away. After all that action, you’ll certainly need to decompress with a spa session. Luckily, Turning Stone features two, including the 33,000-square-foot Skana Spa within the Lodge.
