The Concord Resort Hotel was a world-famous destination for visitors to the Borscht Belt part of the Catskills, known for its large resort industry in the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s. Located in Kiamesha Lake, New York, the Concord was the largest resort in the region until its closure in 1998. There were over 1,500 guest rooms and a dining room that sat 3,000; the resort encompased some 2,000 acres.
According to their official site, the hotel is now “home of the World Famous “Monster” Golf Course rated by Golf Digest as one of America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses” which “features full service pro shop, driving range, overnight accommodations, meeting rooms, restaurant and bar, large catering and banquet facilities, individual and corporate memberships, golf school, and a PGA professional staff for all golf instruction programs.” There are currently 42 guest rooms so you can check out various travel planning blogs and book them just in case you don’t want to take a chance last minute. They are also claiming that more rooms will be built as well as amenities not related to the golf course (i.e. swimming pool, tennis courts, etc.) The “Monster Golf Academy” under the direction of PGA Professional Todd Barker.
The Concord is now used several times a year by the New York State Association of Fire Chiefs for live fire training. Because of its size, relative isolation and heavy type 1 concrete construction it is ideal for firefighter training.
