The Country Club of Troy

Overview: The Country Club of Troy is a private Walter Travis course in New York's Capital Region. The parkland routing combines classic green contours with rolling ground and views that open toward the surrounding hills, making position and trajectory important throughout the round.

History: The club was established in 1925, and the course is recognized as the last layout Walter Travis designed. That timing makes Troy a late expression of the architect's approach to strategic bunkering, green shape and the relationship between holes.

Did You Know? The course tour highlights views toward the Catskills from the upper ground. The landscape is therefore part of the course's identity even though the club sits in the inland Capital Region rather than on Long Island's coast.
