Best golf courses near Albany, NY

Country Club of Troy is situated on rocky tumbling hills above the Hudson River and is home to the last course designed by Walter Travis. Debuting in 1927, the course is situated across 325 stunning acres of rolling forested terrain and notably features 18 original greens, each with intimidating tilts and enormous internal breaks. Bruce Hepner at Renaissance Golf began renovations in 2009 focused on removing trees, moving bunkers and adding tightly mown runoff areas around greens, all with the interest of improving playability and keeping original design elements. Perhaps the most famous hole is the par-4 10th, where players can see the distant Catskill Mountains from the green and proximate tee box.
