Winding Brook Country Club
Enjoy an Upstate standout with today’s feature: $19 for 18 Holes with Cart at Winding Brook Country Club in Valatie near Albany ($50 Value. Good Any Time until September 15, 2018!)
Located about 20 miles south of Albany in scenic upstate New York, today’s feature course, Winding Brook Country Club, is one of the reasons that the northern half of the Empire State is one of America’s best places to play golf. Between the picturesque postcard views, supreme conditions, and brilliantly designed layout where each hole offers its own unique challenge, Winding Brook’s impressive 18-hole layout is an absolute gem.
Nestled between the Berkshire and Catskill Mountains in the Hudson Valley, Winding Brook’s gorgeous landscape provides the perfect backdrop for your great round. A thoughtfully designed championship layout that stretches over 265 acres of land, the 6,100-yard course offers a variety of challenges that are sure to test each and every club in your bag.
Though the first hole–a straightforward par-4 with little challenge other than several fairway bunkers in the landing area–may lure you into a true sense of comfort and ease, you’ll want to keep your guard up as you continue your round. Water becomes a major factor from the second hole on, culminating on the par-5 12th – the course’s second most difficult hole. Featuring a 90-degree dogleg with water both on the right side of the fairway and in front of the green, #12 requires three great and accurate shots to have a shot at par or better. But don’t make the mistake of thinking your work is done after 12; four of the final six holes also feature water in play – meaning you’ll need to stay accurate to the end if you want to finish strong.
Along with the unique layout, you’ll find plenty of great Winding Brook amenities located right on site. The pro shop carries a curated selection of equipment, accessories, and apparel for both men and women, and the knowledgeable staff will help you select what’s right for your game and your style. After your round, it’s a refreshing drink and delicious meal at the local favorite White Horse Tavern that is a must.
Located in a serene and relaxing setting that is pure New York, Winding Brook’s elegant layout is one of the Hudson Valley’s best. Don’t wait – reserve your round now!
