Plan Your Verona Golf Trip in 60 Seconds

Three championship courses and a full casino under one roof

Turning Stone Resort & Casino packs three highly rated 18s — Tom Fazio's PGA-Tour-tested Atunyote among them — into one upstate property with a 100,000-sq-ft casino, multiple hotels, restaurants, and a nightclub. The most self-contained golf-and-gamble base in the Northeast.
