COLONIE COUNTRY CLUB GROUNDS

The routing through Helderberg foothills delivers genuine elevation changes that most Capital District tracks can only dream of, with the par-4 7th dropping 60 feet from tee to green in spectacular fashion. Donald Ross's restored bunkering scheme punishes wayward drives while rewarding precision, particularly on the uphill par-3 16th where anything short feeds back down the false front. This municipal gem plays firm and fast when conditions cooperate, offering serious golfers an authentic test without the pretension of its private neighbors.
