Excellent Playing conditions

We played there on October 21, 2013, and the course conditions were similar to playing during the summer. The greens were immaculate, the fairways allowed the ball to roll a good distance, the rough was cut short and there were very few areas where leaves covered the ground. The course was not busy and so we were allowed to tee off about 1/2 hour early.
My golf partner had never played there before and he was very impressed with the course. Most of my play has been during the wet months and so it was fun to play in much better conditions.

Unique layout with equal number of par 3's, 4's, & 5's.

Enjoyable golf course and layout by combining equal number of short and long holes. This provides scoring opportunities every 3 holes. Great design and layout with the challenge based on your choice of tees. Greens were smooth and true, with fairways well maintained.

Good an fair test of golf.

I was disappointed to see cup liners installed at surface level to the greens. The rules of golf- see, Definitions: Hole -allow cup liners provided they are installed at least 1" below the putting surface. The only exception is if the soil conditions are so poor that it is impractical to do so, and that is not the case at Albany Golf and Event Center. The reality is that most golf courses using cup liners do so in order to avoid cutting new cups regularly. The reason is obvious, savings. But it is a sad testimony to their integrity when they set the rules of golf aside for their own convenience. I will use golfnow.com again, but I will not book another round at Albany Golf & Event Center until I know they observe and honor the rules of this great game.

Great day

I like this course. It gives the average golfer like me a chance to shoot a decent score. The course is well maintained and not so busy that you have to stand and wait at every Tee box. We were able to consistently play on the move. I will return to this course.

Great course

The course is great and the food is good at the course. We have played here twice during the month of August. Found that the men's club and other members are not that welcoming and if you are not a great player they have little patience for outsiders.

Love the course but probably will not go down again this year.

this course is a great deal for the $

This is the second time I have played this course. I enjoy playing here because of the friendlyness of the staff. I only noticed one green with a little moss on it. The course appears to be very well maintained. The greens were a bit dry and fast on the front nine. But slowed down as we played thru the back nine. For sure will be playing there again soon.

Good Course for the Area but Pace of Play Needs Work

Albany Golf and Event Center is a fun course. The variety of holes is one positive thing about this course, but the pace of play was very, very slow each time I have played. In saying that, however, it was well worth the extra time.

One part of the course that I really enjoy is the change of distance from hole-to-hole. You never play back-to-back holes with the same par. While the course is not long, by any means, the pin placements, bunkers, and fairly narrow fairways make the course somewhat challenging.

The staff does a good job maintaining the course, and I will continue to play there.

Great course, great value

We did get a "hot deal" for this course, so was very happy that it also turned out to be a good course. The course isn't terribly difficult but there are several holes where trees do give you a challenge for not keeping it in the fairway. There are also several holes with water features but they were more pretty to look out than coming into play. The course has 6 par 5's, 6 par 4, and 6 par 3's and I really liked that variety. We had groups in front of us and in back of us but still managed a 4 hour round which is a good pace of play.
