Much to the chagrin of country club owners across the nation, municipal golf courses provide some of the most enjoyable, relaxing, and invigorating playing experiences anywhere in the country. And one of the best municipal courses you’ll find anywhere in the Empire State is today’s feature: Frear Park Golf Course in Troy.

Beautifully laid out in Frear Park just a stone’s throw from the banks of the Hudson River, Frear Park Municipal Golf Course's inspired 18-hole layout hosts more than 40,000 rounds each year - and with good reason! Playing just over 6,900 yards from the back tees, beginners and professionals alike find a reason to love Frear Park, whether it’s the timeless details from the original 1930s layout, or the updated conditions that make it comparable with many area private clubs.

If you want to shoot a low score, pay attention: Water is present throughout the course, but doesn’t actually impede play as often as it might on other area courses. The big challenge comes from the beautiful pockets of large mature trees, well-bunkered green side areas, and fairways that bend and twist and turn at various points throughout your round.

Given the distinct honor of being named Best Golf Course by Hudson Valley Magazine, Frear Park’s challenging course construction and picturesque vistas make it a must-play for every golfer who wants to test their game in a truly exquisite setting.

Your day of fun at Frear Park doesn’t have to end when you hole out your final putt; make sure to stop into Park Pub - the clubhouse restaurant. Along with great food options, Park Pub is the perfect place to toast your scores with your favorite beer or cocktail. Frear Park itself also features plenty of great other amenities like tennis courts, softball fields, and a playground and picnic areas perfect for the whole family.
