Golden Russet is listed as an antique standard apple, meaning it belongs to the larger-fruited apple class, with fruit 5 cm across or more [S1]. The entry describes it as suitable for dessert, cooking, and cider [S1].
In Edible Apples in Prairie Canada, it is noted as commercially grown in colder parts of eastern Canada and possibly worth trying in the prairie region [S1]. Its hardiness is given as H2-3, which the source explains as moderately hardy to borderline hardy [S1].
