Meadowgreens Golf Course

Play an exceptional nine holes with today’s feature: $9 for 9 Holes with Cart at Meadowgreens Golf Course in Ghent near Albany ($26 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time until August 1, 2017!)

You know it’s true: 9-hole golf courses get a bum rap when compared to their 18-hole brethren. But at Group Golfer, we know that classifying all 9-hole courses as some kind of second-tier playing experience is a downright dangerous strategy, and today’s feature course, Meadowgreens Golf Course in Ghent, is one of the reasons why. If you were to write-off Meadowgreens just because of its length or abbreviated number of holes, you’d miss out on one of Columbia County’s most inspired layouts – depriving yourself of a Albany-area golfing experience you’re sure to love.

Playing just over 3,000 yards from the back set of tees, Meadowgreens may not be a layout that requires a lot from your driver (though there are two par-5s), but the other clubs in your bag are sure to be tested. Fairways are fairly wide open but can play on the narrower side at times, and the threat of losing a ball to the drink (including at least one forced carry to hit a green) is seemingly present around every turn. Unlike many New York courses, the area’s signature tall mature trees rarely come into play on most of the holes, though they can certainly punish errant shots for those who struggle to keep it in play around the course’s perimeter.

Perfect for beginner players and seasoned pros alike, Meadowgreens carries a USGA rating of 27.7, and measures a slope of 108 from the back tees. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens are well-manicured throughout the nine, and the facility provides one of the area’s most relaxed atmospheres and inviting playing experiences around. All and all, those who come to Meadowgreens expecting an afternoon of fun are treated to just that – and more! Don’t wait and let this feature pass you by – reserve your round at Meadowgreens Golf Course now!
