Though today’s feature course, Stamford Golf Club in Delaware County, was established more than 120 years ago, it would still be safe to call it one of the Empire State’s best hidden gems. That’s because, despite a legacy of more than a century of providing the Northern Catskills area with unforgettable rounds of golf, the course is rarely jam-packed or overbooked - all but guaranteeing you and your foursome a fast-paced and scenic round of golf you’re never going to forget. Combine that with the exceptional conditions and full set of amenities, and you can easily see why Stamford has been a New York staple for so long.
Playing a reasonable (especially by today’s standards) 6,287 yards from the back set of tees, Stamford is the kind of course where golfers of all skill levels have a chance to go low - but don’t think that’s because the course is any kind of pushover. The layout is inundated with many risk vs reward opportunities that benefit the player who knows when to play it safe and when to throw caution to the wind and go for it - often resulting in rounds under par or in the triple digits.
Most of the challenge here comes from the frequent presence of tall mature trees and the course’s small rounded greens. Not only are these putting surfaces a challenge to hit and hold, they’re also extremely well-kept and fast - making your putter the most important club of the day. Stay out of trouble off of the tee and avoid the dreaded three-putts on the green, and you’ll be well positioned to shoot a score you’ll be proud to share with your golfing buddies.
Not only does Stamford Golf Club have everything you need for on-the-course fun, the facility is also home to the area’s best 19th hole destinations: Vasta’s Bistro on the Green. Offering both a stunning view of the surrounding Catskills and a full menu of delicious menu items, Vasta’s is the perfect way to end your day of fun.
