Took Forever to play

The course allowed a 5 some to play in front of us. I had played the course 2 days before on August 22nd, then again on August 24. There was supervision on an on course ranger the first time I played but not on the second round on the 24th.
It took 5 hours and 15 minutes to play the 18 holes and we teed off before 8am. Totally ridiculous. I won't be back.

Classic design in great shape!

The course was in great shape. It is maintained to promote quick play with low height of rough which helps out your score and your handicap.

I had not played the Spa course in 4 years and since then, they have modified the design of a few holes for the better.

All staff were very friendly and they have a well stocked pro shop with competitive pricing.

I would recommend this course to anyone, especially to those looking to lower your handicap index as I think the slope of 128 is overrated for the men's white tee box. I had my lowest round here!

Kingsbury National fka Kingswood is a great value

The course was bought by new Owner last year Derik Buck and the general manager is Adam Luaces. they are doing a great job. Both were onsite when we finished. They did a major renovation on the bunkers, which played nicely.
Fairways, tees and greens were great shape. Greens rolled true. Rough needed a little attention but wasn't bad with all the rain we had this spring/summer.
The outside pavilion and outside eatery area looked clean and neat. The clubhouse seemed renovated with a beautiful bar and restaurant area. Food was great, prices were even greater. I highly recommend that part of the facility, I was impressed at the changes these guys have made in a short period.
I played this course when it opened about 25 years ago and it was nice then, watched conditions deteriorate over the years but now it is well worth a round of golf there. Then new owner and management are doing a great job.

Top notch shape!

I played this course 2 years ago in 2015 and the conditions were average. Today absolutely perfect. Everything really nice. I play 70 rounds a year at a country club in upstate NY and conditions here are top notch. Also the staff are very friendly here. It's on my short list to return again this week while on vacation.

Best Conditioned Course in Saratoga County

I became a member of BSCC this year and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The course is always in excellent condition. It's the best value around.

Staff are friendly and clubhouse food is awesome.

Excellent Layout, poor Condition

This is Rees Jones architect design and is a very challenging layout. Also you can play in under 3 1/2 hours for a round. A cart is recommended over walking this layout.

I have played this course over the years but over the past 5 years, the condition has steadily declined. The owner has used limited staff resources to keep it well maintained. Sand bunkers have many rocks, tees have many weeds.
The greens and fairways are in decent shape.

The owner has been offering discounted memberships but there doesn't seem to be too many takers until conditions improve.

There isn't any decent amenities for a clubhouse, just a small snack shop that offers some canned beer or soda. No food, no wine, no alcohol.
This has not changed in 18 year of operation.

I hope they can improve conditions equal to the quality of the architectural design of this course.

Excellent conditions

Beautiful golf course. Nice dining facility. A little pricey if you are public payor. We went on a reciprocal agreement from our club for $25
