Rainbow Golf Club
Under new ownership and with a new management team in place, now's the time to revisit this Upstate favorite: $20 for 18 Holes with Cart at Rainbow Golf Club in Greenville near Albany ($54 Value. Good Any Time until September 15, 2022!)
Just minutes from Albany in the Northern Catskill Mountains, Rainbow Golf Club, is one of the Upstate area's best-kept secrets. A stunning layout that plays almost 6,300 yards from the back set of tees, this 70.8/126-rated gem is New York golf at its best.
From the first tee box to the final green, Rainbow’s layout will challenge and delight you. The par-4 No. 1 features a forced approach over water, followed immediately after by the lengthy No. 2 that clocks in at over 550 yards. The back nine sports a series of holes all centered around a large pond, including the course’s signature par-3 No. 13. Requiring a 135-yard shot to reach the island green, this hole looks tougher than it is as it plays as the third easiest on the course.
As you make your way through your round, you’ll quickly learn that at Rainbow Golf Club, shot execution and course management are key to shooting a low score. Stay around the fairways and keep your ball out of the numerous areas of water, and you’ll be well on your way to heading into the club house with a low score.
Along with the full 18-hole championship golf course, Rainbow Golf Club has everything you need to improve your game and maximize your fun. The full-service driving range allows you to work on your full swing, while the manicured short game area has bunkers and greens to work on your feel shots.
