Any guys here know the courses up near Albany/Saratoga Springs area ?

Driving up from Northern NJ and doing a three day up to the race course in Saratoga Springs and would like to place a course close to the NY thruway going up and coming back. We already have a tee time at Saratoga National so looking for one or two more nice tracks.

The Links at Union Vale is a pretty good course.

If you’re looking for something closer to Albany, maybe @colin007 or @RFKFREAK can help.

@MGNJ88 if you're looking for a course in the Capital Region Fairways of Halfmoon is a good course.  I might also suggest Van Patten which has three 9s.

Saratoga National is a very nice course, it's a bit rich for me but I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

The Saratoga Spa State Park course is one of my favorites in the entire area. You won't get the resident rate but it's still a good deal.

Saratoga Lake Golf Club is ok, some great holes and some boring holes, a bit scruffy in places.

Thanks Colin. We’ve played the Spa course and it’s a fun track. I was hoping to hit a place on the way up the Thruway that we’ve never been to. Your thoughts on the Fairways at Halfmoon ?

Wiltwyck in Kingston is good, maybe not far enough north for your plans though.  I think they just hosted a US Sr Am (or something like that, don't recall exactly).

Fairways is nice, there are a few spots where it looks like they ran out of space and just shoehorned a hole in where they could. There's a great par 3 on the back overlooking a rail yard with a massive drop, I like to tee up a couple drivers and Hulk Smash as far as I can.

    • Day 1: 2/26/2025: So, I'm starting over on this again.  My son brought home the mother of all flu bugs from school. It raged though our house and knocked me on my butt for about 3 days.  Now, that I think I'm clear of the death plague my son gave me. I was able to rise early this morning and get some nice mirror work in. I felt stiff like a board for the first few swings, but loosened up and was able to get at least 20 minutes of first robotic slow swings and then gradually more fluid swings.  My focus was on the timing and fluidity of my priority pieces. 
    • I use a MagSafe connector on my tripod. Occasionally I use those clips.
    • Working on some swing videos. What are you guys having the best luck with as far as devices used to record the swing?  I have a tripod with a magnet that I stick my phone on but it is somewhat of a pain because I have to remove the cover on my phone and when I pull it off the magnet the tripod head changes and moves position. I was thinking something more like an ipad maybe. On a different style tripod and maybe even set it up to mirror to a tv.
