Formerly known as The New Course at Albany, this difficult course is hilly and extremely well maintained. The fast greens are well bunkered and large, and the fairways are tree lined.

This wooded course is fairly narrow and predominantly flat. The course does not have sand or grass bunkers, nor water hazards. However, because the fairways are so narrow, this course is no push over. Nine hole play is not allowed on the weekends until late in the afternoons.

This old, links-style course was built on an island. The small greens are fast, and the fairways vary in width. When the course was originally founded over 100 years ago, it only had two holes.

This club has three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. The Red Course is flatter than the others and has a few more ponds in play. The Blue Course is not only the easiest, but the shortest of the three courses. The White Course is the most hilly of the three courses, so expect many uneven lies.
